The Grooming Room at Culwell & Sons is a staple for men looking for a clean cut and a quick chat, since you’re bound to run into your neighbor or your friend or your accountant there. The guys at the Grooming Room say it seems like half the town can wander in on any given day. At Culwell & Sons, Mike Culwell, pictured here, is keeping alive a family tradition that goes back to 1920, when his grandfather, W.E. Culwell, founded the shop and started pressing suits. Two generations later, the store’s vision of being “the Men’s Store of Dallas” is alive and well.

If you’re waiting with your light-up buzzer for a table at Mi Cocina, it is worth it. This Tex-Mex giant is a must for families looking to enjoy an evening out together. Kids will occupy themselves running around the fountain while mom and dad kick back a margarita (or if you’re really ambitious, a Mambo Taxi). Besides, there are more than a few shops or bars where you can sneak your buzzer in — not to mention Mi Cocina’s own hidden gem, Monkey Bar, where locals retreat to after dinner or to watch the game.
Jay has been around for 40 years, which has something to do with why the community trusts him with their designer dresses and couture gowns. Jay, who became a self-taught custom clothier in his native Seoul, Korea, immigrated to New York with just $100 in his pocket before eventually founding his Dallas business with his wife, Jackie. He is a true expert who meets the community’s high-standard clothing needs with impeccable taste.
