The Best Holiday Shopping and Eating in Dallas
Are you still making a list and checking it twice? Relax, the cosmopolis of Dallas is a premier shopping destination that other cities can only dream about. If you find yourself playing Santa in the Big D, you’ll find there’s no shortage of places to dine and buy last-minute gifts for the holidays. Need some inspiration? Here are our favorite places to eat and shop this season throughout the Dallas metropolitan area.
Weekend brunch at Maple Landing is a great way to start a day of touring Dallas with visiting family and friends. Conveniently located in the Dallas Love Field area and near one of the fastest-growing airports in the U.S., Maple Landing is the perfect pit-stop to recharge after a flight or relax before a day of holiday shopping. Brunch is served Saturday & Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM.
Consider the famous Brisket Brunchiladas or the ML French Toast (with bruleed bananas) as an excellent intro to your day’s adventures. Or, get your group in the holiday spirit with cocktails like the Gran Salted Caramel or Spiked Cold Brew. With an array of mouth-watering brunch, lunch, and dinner options, it’s not difficult to see why Maple Landing is one of the best restaurants in Dallas.
When you’re finished fueling up, head over to NorthPark Center, one of the top shopping malls in the country. Boasting everything from legendary department stores to unique specialty retailers, you won’t find it difficult to check off the bulk of your shopping list. While you’re there, be sure to check out the Kate Weiser Chocolate Shop, where you’ll find a unique selection of hand-painted desserts and gifts, including an eye-popping range of bonbons and candy bars in flavors like passion fruit praline and bacon toffee. But don’t take our word for it; take Oprah’s, who featured it on her list of favorite things in 2018.
When it comes to shopping for the kids, there’s simply no place like Froggie’s 5 & 10. Located just a few minutes down the street from NorthPark, this whimsical toy store is a magnet for all ages. The 3,700 sq. ft. space is packed with an array of goodies at every turn, and it’s difficult not to be dazzled by the limitless array of play things. This might just be your ultimate destination for the holidays, from retro tin toys and action figures to family games and themed gift boxes. You’ll also find a stockpile of gag gifts and stocking stuffers the whole family can enjoy.
Happy Holidays from Maple Landing, the best restaurant in Dallas!
