There’s always something new to learn.
Dallas is a city that defies stereotypes. Sure, you’ll find cowboy boots and brisket, but you’ll also discover glossy art museums, underground jazz bars, and a startup energy that buzzes like summer heat. It’s a place where Southern hospitality blends with big-city ambition, where you can catch a rodeo and a runway show in the same weekend.
Dallas doesn’t just surprise you — it owns it.
Let’s see what we discover.
Things you didn’t know about Dallas.
5. Dallas has more restaurants per capita than New York City.
From Tex-Mex trucks to award-winning steakhouses, Dallas eats big — and with over 12,000 restaurants, you’ll never run out of flavors to chase.
4. The frozen margarita machine was invented here.
In 1971, a clever restaurateur converted a soft-serve ice cream machine to dispense icy tequila magic — and the rest is cocktail history.
3. The city built an entire neighborhood on top of a freeway.
Klyde Warren Park sits directly over a major highway, turning five acres of downtown concrete into a lush green social hub.
2. It’s one of the largest arts districts in the country.
The Dallas Arts District spans 68 acres — home to world-class symphonies, theaters, museums, and public installations that stretch across 19 city blocks.
1. Dallas was the original home of 7-Eleven.
The global convenience store giant started in Oak Cliff in 1927, changing snacking, slurpees, and late-night cravings forever.
