West End
Established as a warehouse district in 1872, it’s been a destination for visitors, locals for lunch and suburbanites since the 1980’s. They flock to the friendly brick paved historic area for one-of-a-kind restaurants from Tex-Mex to Texas steaks, sing-a-longs at karaoke bars, museums and for handmade cowboy hats at the infamous Wild Bill’s. With the recent addition of new residential amenities, it’s handy for employees of the many professional businesses located there. Despite the eye rolling, urban Dallasites make a pilgrimage at least once a year for a festival or for dinner before Mavericks & Stars games. They blend in with touristas by sporting t-shirts that say “I ♥ Vaqueros Locos” (I love Crazy Cowboys)
