Shopping in Dallas

Shopping here is a sport, a social activity and entertainment. Nieman Marcus calls it home, but our Shari Shopper says the best shopping is done in its upscale malls. It's a good place to get those Western duds for Halloween. The sales tax is 8.25%.

People Watching in Dallas

Many say this activity is relegated to Sundays and in particular the Farmer's Markets, but our Francois Flaneur found a glimmer of "PW" at the Pioneer Plaza Cattle Drive area.

Beverages in Dallas

Home town favorites are Dr. Pepper and frozen margaritas.
