STUNNING GREEK RESTAURANT WITH A HIDDEN COURTYARD PATIO IN DALLAS If you’re looking for a lunch or dinner spot that feels like a mini escape, @Zizikis_Travis is it. We grabbed a table right next to the fountain in their charming courtyard, and it genuinely felt like we were dining along the coast of Greece! A LOCAL GEM SINCE 1994 Locally owned and operated, Zizikis has been a Dallas favorite for decades – serving up modern Greek-inspired dishes made with fresh, natural, and organic ingredients. Their menu is packed with grilled entrees, vegetarian and gluten-free options, and even organic wines, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal. WHAT WE ORDERED We started with a crisp glass of white wine and The Greek Board, loaded with locally sourced cheeses, meats, dolmades, specialty jams, and more. For mains, the chef’s pick lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the grilled salmon over Mediterranean couscous was fresh and full of flavor! To end on a sweet note, we tried their house-made goat cheesecake and the baklava ice cream cake, their most popular dessert, and for good reason? YOUR NEW DATE NIGHT SPOT Whether you’re planning a romantic date night, grabbing happy hour with friends, or just want to enjoy a relaxing meal on a patio, this is the spot! We were even serenaded by a live harpist, which was truly the cherry on top! HALF PRICE WINE BOTTLES Pro tip: Get half off bottles of wine every Monday and Tuesday when you dine in! ?Find Zizikis at one of their two locations off Travis Walk or Preston/Forest!

THE 250-ACRE NATURE PARK IN THE HEART OF DALLAS IS OFFICIALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION! After decades of dreaming and planning, @HaroldSimmonsPark_ has officially broken ground, marking the beginning of a transformative, once-in-a-generation project that will become the largest private-public-funded urban nature park in Dallas at 250 acres! A TRINITY RIVER & DALLAS SKYLINE SETTING Set between the Margaret McDermott and Ronald Kirk Bridges, the park will have the Trinity River at its center, with 4 overlooks connecting to the levee tops but not sitting within the riverbed. This will preserve the Trinity River’s ecology while making the park safe and accessible year-round. GREAT CITIES ARE DEFINED BY GREAT PARKS This is going to be huge for our city, becoming a “Central Park” for both residents and visitors, funded as a public-private collaboration through very philanthropic donations, with city, state, and federal support. As Dallas philanthropic legend Lyda Hill noted at the ground-breaking, “When private philanthropy and public collaboration come together for change, big things happen.” ACTIVITIES ? 6-tower Play Cove with bridges, slides, wetlands, and a first-of-its-kind cable ferry barge ?40,000 sq ft event lawn for concerts, festivals & programming ? one of Dallas’ largest skate & bike parks ?️ two-story café ? dog park ? sand volleyball ? pickleball ? basketball courts ? roller skating rink ? picnic grove with community tables and grills ? prairie walk, terrace garden and more for water conservation THE WATER FACTORY We personally cannot wait for the Water Factory, an immersive, interactive water play area using recycled water from underground cisterns to irrigate the site. It will feature a playful network of towers, misting pipes, and fountains, all shaded by trees and designed to be a cooling hub for families and kids. MORE THAN JUST A PARK Trinity Park Conservancy is overseeing the long-term vision for the 10,000-acre Trinity River Corridor, including the Harold Simmons Park. This project centers conservation, connection, and community, ensuring that the Trinity River remains at the heart of Dallas for generations to come.

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS STUNNING ASIAN-INSPIRED RESTAURANT RIGHT OFF THE KATY TRAIL? One of our new favorite spots in the city, @LePasSageDallas is perfect for an elevated date night, girls’ night out, or a gorgeous weekend brunch, all in one space that feels like a true escape from Dallas! FOR ANY VIBE Located in The Terminal off the Katy Trail, Le PasSage offers two totally different vibes depending on where you sit. For a breezy spring patio moment, sit outside among green and white striped seating, checkered floors, and bamboo light fixtures. But if you’re seeking an intimate and romantic setting, their interior is lined with red walls and carpeting, and elegantly curved ceilings that make it feel like you’ve been transported across the world! WHAT WE ORDERED Their mission is to redefine Asian cuisine by incorporating classic French techniques, resulting in a menu that is both familiar and comforting yet exciting! Each dish was visually stunning, and we were consistently and pleasantly surprised as our dishes arrived throughout the whole dinner. We tried: ? Bluefin Tuna Leaves (their take on a handroll) ? Eggplant Dumplings ? Yellowtail Crudo ? Shaking Beef ? Whole Fried Snapper for 2 ? Chocolate Souffle with Vanilla Creme Anglaise COCKTAILS TO TRY Their cocktail menu is just as creative as the food! We loved the smoky, teapot-style Memoirs of a Geisha, the spicy margarita-inspired Bangkok, and their Lychee Martini is a must for lychee lovers! WEEKEND BRUNCH Brunch is served Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30am–2:30pm and features housemade soufflé pancakes (which take 20 minutes but are so worth it!) and local favorites like @Lubbies_Bagels! LOCATION & DETAILS Open every day but Monday & Sunday at the Terminal (4205 Buena Vista St, Suite 130). Book your table at Le PasSage via Resy!
