Central Dallas

Central Dallas is anchored by Downtown, the center of the city, along with Oak Lawn and Uptown, areas characterized by dense retail, restaurants, and nightlife.

One the most upcoming neighborhoods in Central Dallas is the West End District. In this locale, you’ll find the Old Red Museum and the JFK Memorial Plaza. There's also no shortage of quaint shops and tasty eateries located on the pedestrian-friendly strip of Record and Market Street. You can tour former railroad stations, which have been converted into sidewalk hangouts with shaded sidewalk patios and local Dallas shops. This charming district is also home to some of Dallas' most iconic attractions, including grassy knolls, which are home to the JFK memorial, making it the perfect spot for a walking tour of Dallas’ famous history.

Another hidden treasure you’ll find in Central Dallas is the famous Dallas Farmers Market. Established in 1941, it’s been the central hub for local Texan farmers to sell locally produced fruits, vegetables, dairy and meats to locals. Now, with robust urban expansion of the area, the farmers market is now home to not only local farmers, but food entrepreneurs as well who want to share their love for diverse culinary fare and cuisine.
