Luckily, North Texas has tons of fun places to visit, and the DART is a quintessential part of the experience. BISHOP ARTS DISTRICT (DALLAS STREETCAR) Bursting with historic charm, this popular North Oak Cliff neighborhood – now accessible by the Dallas Streetcar – has boutiques, bistros, and taverns housed in quaint 1920s-era buildings. Hotspots include a couple DARTable Gems: The Wild Detectives, a one-of-a-kind bookstore and tavern that features local craft beer, tapas, and wine and Emporium Pies, a specialty bakery located inside a quaint 1930s Victorian bungalow. DOWNTOWN CARROLLTON (DOWNTOWN CARROLLTON STATION) The station abuts an old-fashioned square that packs a lot of boutique shopping per block. It wouldn’t be a real town square without an honest-to-goodness soda fountain, and downtown Carrollton’s got the goods: Sid’s Rainbow Grill, a DARTable Gem, delivers wholesome nostalgia while serving up a mighty good burger. Fried chicken is front and center at DARTable Babe’s Chicken Dinner House, a beloved, local institution reputed to have one of the best versions in North Texas. DOWNTOWN PLANO (DOWNTOWN PLANO STATION) With a unique blend of shops, pubs, and restaurants, the atmosphere of downtown Plano is Norman Rockwell meets postmodern. DARTable hotspot, Vickery Park, offers a huge selection of craft beers and an extensive menu. It’s a true neighborhood bar and grill with a friendly vibe, perfect for watching the game or playing free shuffleboard. The DARTable Interurban Railway Museum at Haggard Park also is a popular attraction, commemorating the rail that ran from Denison through Plano to Dallas and beyond from 1908 until 1948. The park itself features a picturesque gazebo, fountain, and playground. The "Green Dragon" M-LineTrolley at Uptown Station is all lit up during the holiday season.
