First Dates by Limo: Top Dallas Nightspots

Dallas is such a diverse city … while the major drawcard might be the Cowboys, you won’t usually get far with a lady if that is your first date idea! First dates with a Dallas limo as the transport for the evening are the ultimate in romance. Today we are checking out some venues that can match that romance, from restaurants to cinemas to traditional theatre plays.
This place does beautiful Italian food with jazz and blues to wash it down. It is reasonably priced and very romantic - if you’re taking out a very unpretentious girl, this will be a lovely evening out by Dallas limo.
This is mostly a hotel, but it might be a bit presumptuous to rent a room for a first date! Travel by limo to the Sanford House and enjoy a day spa experience together - massages, scrubs and manicures at the Sanford house.
Delicious pizza, open late, live music, great prices … a Dallas first date that could quite easily become the favorite haunt of a new couple!
Movies are still a lovely, romantic idea for a first date, especially when the venue is so quiet an anti-commercial as the Regent Theater. The Regent is described as cute, comfortable and intimate … the perfect layover in between romantic Dallas limo trips.
Yum … if one of you is a wine connoisseur, Swirll is a wonderful place to visit for your first date. It is on the pricier end of the scale compared to grabbing pizza or a meal at Terilli's, but the delicious drinks are well worth it. The candles and fireplace mean that there are often marriage proposals going on at Swirll. You may be a little way away from that sort of thing … but you can imagine it has a lovely atmosphere for couples anyway!
Seeing Shakespeare under the stars is an amazing experience … even if you have absolutely no idea what they are saying! A Dallas limo is the perfect way to get to this first date … you can save on the date, and splurge on your transport.

Top Spots for DIY Dallas Shopping Tours

Dallas has more shopping centers per capita than any other city in the US, and was once home to the only covered shopping mall in the country. Dallas IS shopping! Whether you live in the city or are just visiting, a girl's day out on a self-guided shopping tour of Dallas can be a great bonding exercise … and a great way to pick up some awesome pieces. The best way to get from place to place is not by taxi, and not by public transport - Dallas limousine hire makes shopping tours fun and much simpler. We look at some of the must-visit shopping spots for a limo shopping tour.

1. Neiman Marcus
The home of Neiman Marcus is in Dallas, and this is still the highest grossing of all the Neiman's stores in the country. This is the Dallas Saks Fifth Avenue - you can’t go past it for a shopping-by-limo trip with the girls.
2. Northpark Center
You'll definitely need your limo parked out the front when you come out of Northpark Center … with Bulgari, Gucci, Vans, Gregory's Louis Vuitton and Swag, you'll find a heap of showpieces and great quality basics here.
3. Highland Park Village
This shopping center was opened in 1931, and was the first shopping center in America. It survived despite the war starting soon after its appearance, and thrived. Go shopping in a National Historic Landmark - you won’t have many other opportunities!
4. West Village
Get your Dallas limo tour to stop at West Village near lunch or dinner time - this shopping center has plenty of fine dining and nightlife, as well as theatre to take in. The area is filled with classic American architecture and tree-lined streets - gorgeous and refreshing.
5. Mockingbird Station
This is a residential area as well as a shopping center, and there is a very relaxed atmosphere here. If you don't want to be stuck carrying bags around big blocks, going from faraway shop to faraway shop, a Dallas limo is the perfect solution.
