The Dallas Arboretum - On the banks of White Rock Lake, this 60-acre urban oasis is miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The Texas Theatre - Art house movies, great indie rock shows, and a great bar, all in the same theatre where Lee Harvey Oswald’s busy day back in 1963 came to an abrupt end.

Executive Cheff
Lucia, in the Bishop arts district is still one of my favorite restaurants. The hand-crafted salumi is definitely not to be missed.
Dallas Thai food might not be something at the top of everyone’s culinary destinations, but Bangkok City serves up some of the most authentic Thai creations in North Texas.

Head Bartender / Mixologist
The best place in Dallas to try new/local beer is at Goodfriend Beer Garden in the Whiterock region of East Dallas. They have really killer burgers as well.
After work I like to unwind with a shot of Jameson and a Daevil’s Backbone at the People’s Last Stand

Guest Service Agent
Nordstrom at Northpark because of their customer service. They go above and beyond to make sure the customer is pleased with their purchase and experience.
Anthropologie at Highland Park Village, because I love the small boutique feel of it.

Top Golf – great spot, even for those who never get to hit the links. Drinks, Food, Drinks, Fun, Drinks. Not your typical driving range.
Roundup Saloon – great country bar, where you can learn how to two-step or sing karaoke 6 nights a week. Always a friendly crowd.
Emily Emerson
Sales Manager
Beyond Studios… Heart-pumping, and intense, this is another place I love to go to work it all out
Exhale Spa… our on property mecca to all things Zen. I love the core fusion classes, and yoga.
