DFW

[LebongJames 1813]

I just took a new job and cover the entire state. I grew up in Houston and live in Austin. I know nothing about Dallas besides The Cotton Bowl.

Ill be there about once a month for a few nights. Looking for the best part of town to stay. Places to eat/ watch a game.

Mid 30s not looking for a party scene but some places that have a weekday crowd and good food.

I am a Marriott guy and will have my truck every time I’m there.

Hmmm.  Do you have to go to an office or visit clients?  If so, where is that, primarily?  And by Marriott do you mean like Residence Inn or more the full-on hotel type?

[LebongJames 1813]

Full service. Clients are all over the city. I’ll be working out of the hotel but we have distribution all over the city.

I suppose the grown-up place to kind of wander around for better-than-chain restaurants and bars might be Knox-Henderson.  Greenville still has some classic spots, but you may have to wade through idiots and 60K millionaires.. Same with Uptown, but a classier scale.   Bishop Arts in Oak Cliff is another grown-up, kind of artsy-fartsy, slightly Austin-y area. 

Downtown, is, of course, central, but the one-way streets and traffic make it a PITA.  The business district north of Woodall Rogers is getting crowded, too, but retains pretty good access to the tollroad, 35 and Central.  Looks like Le Meridien Stoneleigh might be a good choice in that area without being the Ritz Carlton.

wrong, uptown is a shit fest

[TwiceHorn 31536]

I tend to believe, though, that most of your business is going to be north of 635, so you may find that business dictates that you get outside of the 635 traffic.  So Galleria or other, maybe further north options may work better.  There's good restaurants to be found all over.  Cool bars, less so.  Farther North Dallas is like northern Houston, very suburban, not a ton to do.

I said he'd have to wade through idiots and 60k millionaires there and on Greenville both.  But the establishments on Greenville tend to be holes-in-the-wall, those in Uptown, "classier" or more modern, if not actually any better.

Westin at the Galleria is probably a good central location Marriott/SPG property

You're full service, have clients all over the city and work out of your hotel?

Go on.....

Shops at Legacy / Legacy West growing. There is a Marriott and new Renaissance there, and you can get around easily via Tollway / Bush / 121.

^^^^This is your spot.

[Angry Gorilla 1769]

Try Fort Worth if it's not too far from clients

Good place to meet divorced MILFS and swingers.

[Zepol87 9191]

I would say galleria area is probably a good spot. Close to alot without being in the middle of it. 

[Firemans4Horn 18122]

Depending on where your meetings are i’d stay in uptown. Saves you 30 minutes each way from Austin versus staying up in north Plano.

When you say "DFW," I assume you're talking about the airport.  Because that's what "DFW" means.

If you're talking about the urban area, then it's just "Dallas."

DFW = entire metroplex

Dallas = Dallas proper

Fort Worth = Fort Worth propper

Everything else = the burbs

Go to the clubs and bars around shops at Legacy if you wanna find a sugar momma. Buddy of mine did and he's living large at the moment.

Depending your scene, I would recommend Deep Ellum, but not on a Friday or Saturday night. Reno's Chop Shop, Wits End, places like that are my stomping grounds. Mainly on Sundays or during the week. The parking in Deep Ellum on Saturday nights is horse shit.
