Where To Stay, Walk, Eat And Drink With Your Dog In Dallas
Dallas is one of the great cities of Texas, a confident business city of glass towers, wide freeways and neighbourhoods that each keep their own pace. Uptown and the Katy Trail, an old railway line turned into a three and a half mile walking path, give it a walkable heart, and the Trinity River runs along the west of downtown. The food is serious, the patios are big and the welcome for dogs is real. Summers are fierce, so mornings and evenings are when the city comes outside.
