    So I'm going to Dallas in November to visit my little bro who's all grown up now.

    I haven't seen him in years due to us having different fathers and living in different states. We already have the Mavericks vs Heat game on lock and I'm thinking about the Saints vs Dallas game too.

    What sights should I see while I'm there? What's the scene like? This will be my first time going out in a minute. Been crazy busy, even though I somehow find time to be on NT all damn day.

    Yeah. I'm really looking forward to this trip for a number of reasons.

    Not sure what part he lives in.

    Food? I like seafood and Italian.
    Music? Chill mode %[email protected]$. I'm a little too old to be doing the "daddy stroke" or whatever it's called.

    For sure visit Cowboys Stadium if you haven't already. Also take your typical tour of Down town Dallas and what not.

    Food:
    - Maggiano's: Somewhat of a chain, but the food is so delicious, why go anywhere else for Italian?
    - Cuba Libre: Not sure if you like Cuban food, but this place is delicious. The chorizo white queso is madness. Dip some fried plantains into the queso and your life will now be complete.

    The store is open, they do tours all day. Not sure about the restaurant, but there's plenty within a stone's throw.

    I'll be there in mid-December so this is a good thread to see. 

    Any sneaker stores, outlets, boutiques, etc?
