Explore the Bishop Arts District
If you prefer independent shops to big-name brands, you’ll be charmed by this North Oak Cliff neighborhood’s 60+ locally owned cafes, boutiques, and art galleries. Browsing for antiques and admiring local art is an excellent way to spend a weekend afternoon.
Go Shopping
High on the list of fun things to do in Dallas is shopping—retail therapy is serious business ‘round these parts. Luxury labels abound at Forty Five Ten and the specialty Stanley Korshak department store. Or head downtown for a pilgrimage to the very first Neiman Marcus store, now a registered landmark. NorthPark Center is a favorite with fashionistas thanks to its varied mix of mass brands, upscale department stores, and chic boutiques; while the mammoth Galleria’s one-stop shopping experience includes a skating rink, hotel, and several top-notch restaurants. On the hunt for vintage pieces? Try the delightfully quirky Dolly Python on Haskell Avenue, or poke around Deep Ellum’s eclectic offerings. Top tip: Consignment stores like Clothes Circuit and Clotheshorse Anonymous are the savvy shopper’s secret source for gently used designer castoffs. After all, a socialite can only wear a frock so many times before people start to notice, and shopping.

A short walk from the Kimbell, west of Downtown Fort Worth, this museum’s collection of American art is centered on Remington and Russell mostly, though in recent decades the curators have incorporated works by many late-20th-century artists. The photographic collection, among the largest in the United States, spans the history of the medium, from 19th-century daguerreotypes to 21st-century digital prints.
