The only moon rock in North Texas is displayed there, too

Museum Of Biblical Art

A limited edition, bronze replica of Michelangelo’s “Pieta” is worth millions of dollars. It’s so valuable the museum can’t release the exact amount.

CLEAN EATING?

In some big cities, such as New York and Boston, restaurants’ food inspection grades are posted in windows. In Dallas, diners have to dig a bit deeper for the details of an establishment’s latest food inspection scores. If this snapshot isn’t enough, dive into the city’s database, where you can search by restaurant name or address, at dallascityhall.com/departments/codecompliance/restaurantandbar.
