Well, that might have been the early scenarios of these two cities—Dallas and Fort Worth; today, they are completely different! They have become renowned for great eateries, as well as museums. In fact, these two places are termed as “Art Meccas”! Despite the distance of 35 miles between the two, you are not bound to get bored or hungry—many restaurants are waiting to serve you!

You could start from anywhere—Dallas or Fort Worth; it is your choice. If it is Dallas, do not forget to step into the 66-acre Dallas Arboretum. Situated on White Rock Lake, it is considered to be one of the lushest oases in the city! And oases would definitely refer to extremely tall trees with lots of greenery around, as well as fountains. Think your mind could benefit with this serene atmosphere? But of course, there will be no peace if the weather is violent; so keep an eye open for clear skies!

What else is there to see here? The Nasher Sculpture Center has been donated by Raymond Nasher, and is therefore named after him. He is a collector as well as a real estate developer. This place houses over 300 sculptures created by well-known artists like Picasso, August Rodin, etc. Located near the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, this is a light-filled museum with an outdoor garden.

Situated about 25 miles north of Dallas, is the Dr. Pepper/Seven Up Ballpark. If it is summertime, you might get to see the AA League Frisco RoughRiders in action! And if you are a baseball fan, this is going to make your day! If you are fussy about the people you hobnob with, just step into Hotel ZaZa’s Dragonfly restaurant. The consulting chef here is Stephan Pyles, and the neighborhood is Uptown. The Knox-Henderson district is famous for a menu combining Asian as well as Southwestern flavors presented by the Abacus.

Okay, now it is time to move to Fort Worth, the place where the West begins. Your palate is bound to be satisfied with the dishes offered at the Railroad Smokehouse and Angelo’s. Reasonably-priced sausages and smoked ribs are a favorite at the Railroad Smokehouse. Angelo’s has an unusual décor of mounted animal heads. Both places are quoted as having “melt-in-your-mouth” barbecues!

If your hunger has been satisfied, it is time to move on to sightseeing. Fort Worth’s Cultural District houses five of the best museums in the Southwest. The Hall of Fame and National Cowgirl Museum are meant for lovers of the Old West. Contemporary art lovers can step into Modern Art Museum. This striking architecture has been provided by a Japanese architect named Tadao Ando. American art can be found at the Amon Carter Museum; Georgia O’ Keefe and Frederic Remington find a place here. Finally, there is the Kimbell Art Museum which has masterpieces by Pablo Picasso, Fra Angelico, and Claude Monet, among others. Once you have done the rounds of museums, you can head for the Stockyards National Historic District to watch cattle drives; this is a daily practice
