Have you ever drawn a blank when a friend or family member asks, “What do you want to do today?” Maybe you have visitors to show around the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex, or perhaps you’ve lived here for years but feel like you’re in a rut rather than experiencing anything new.

If so, Tui Snider’s new book is for you! If you live in or are visiting, the DFW region, this list will inspire you to start exploring. If you’re hungry, flip through the Food & Drink section. Looking for entertainment or want to get outdoors? Dig into the Music & Entertainment or the Sports & Recreation sections. Want to barter for antiques or see a museum? Check out the Culture & History or the Shopping & Fashion sections.

This book is a playful bucket list of suggestions meant to spark ideas: everything from family outings, date nights, and solo excursions, to simply hanging out with friends on your day off.

I’ve lived in the DFW area for about *cough* 30 *cough* years now and whenever I am asked what there is to see and do in this area I can’t come up with much. That is why I was thrilled to check out this book and see what new and exciting locations I could venture out and try with friends and the family.

The book is broken up into sections – Food & Drink, Music & Entertainment, Sports & Recreation, Culture & History, and Shopping & Fashion. There were many places I had heard of, some I had visited, and some that were brand new to me. The locations are spread out from Weather ford (West of Fort Worth) down to Glenrose, across to Terrell, up to Dallas and further points north, back over to Fort Worth. So no matter where you live there is bound to be a place or two for you in your own backyard.

There are so many sites to see in this area (it is rather large after all) that I’m sure the author had a tough time narrowing it down to just 100. Now for some destinations, she did give some additional options like with the ghost tours. There are ghost tours across the metroplex so it is hard to name just one to check out so there is an additional page with about 6 more worth investigation.

There is one museum in Fort Worth that isn’t mentioned that is worthwhile (IMHO) and that is the Leonard’s Department Store Museum.

One section that is not in the book, well I suppose it could be in the culture section, are all the theaters that feature live entertainment from music to musicals. There are many historic theaters around the metroplex and many offer quality productions. These locations could probably be a book unto themselves.

I did disagree with one of the restaurants mentioned. Joe T Garcia’s does have a nice atmosphere and I do recommend sitting on the patio in nice weather and enjoying a margarita but pass on the food. But I know many others would disagree with me and agree with the author.

No matter what your interests are you will be sure to find some new and exciting places to take visiting friends and family. Each page does list the address, phone number, and website (when applicable).

We give this 5 paws up!
