    I am coming to Dallas the first weekend of November for the Seahawks football game. I'll be staying at the Hilton Arlington right near AT&T Park. I'll be coming in on Saturday and staying through Monday. I've never been to Dallas before and was hoping to get some local's ideas on what I can do that is unique to the area and find out a couple good food spots to eat while I am there.

    Arlington is my town. Let me know what you want to experience and I can point you in the right direction.

    I don't know much about the area. Just going off what my wife tells me. Am I going to be in Dallas or Arlington? Where exactly is the stadium, we are staying in walking distance. That's all I know. We won't have a car so I can venture far for meals/activities. We are up for anything so if you have any "must try" restaurants or fun spots let me know!

    If you don't have a car take Uber.
    Check out BFF Asian bistrol at ball park and Lamar. Super close and just north of the ball park. You will be in Arlington. Dallas is 30 miles away.
    Get a car or Uber and check out Babes chicken, Twisted Root, Chop House Burgers, and Fork in the Road. All in Arlington and not too far. Also a great craft beer bar right next to Chop House called Dr Jeckle home brew supply.

    Babes was awesome but our favorite place ended up being Twisted Root. The burgers were huge and delicious but the milkshakes were even better. We went to Pappasitos too and they were really good as well just a bit more pricey than I expected for a Mexican joint.

    All in all, it was a great trip and all the food was legit

    Thanks for all the recommendations!
