The sights, sounds and places to visit are energizing and a great escape from daily suburb life. Here is the first installment of my guide to downtown Dallas, and some of my favorite things to see, do, and eat! ## #ToDoInDallas ### [AT&T Discovery District](https://discoverydistrict.att.com/) The AT&T Discovery District has a fabulous plaza with plenty of green space to enjoy and also [**hosts live music and cultural events for the whole family**](https://discoverydistrict.att.com/things-to-do-in-dallas/). One of my recent favorites was the Cinco de Mayo celebration, with St. Patty’s coming in a close second. AT&T offers the AT&T Experience Store with an array of immersive experiences and the AT&T Experience Studio, which hosts rotating interactive pop-up installations from a variety of media, television, and cinema. Visitors are welcome to step into the modern media lobby at AT&T global headquarters to experience a one-of-a-kind fusion of architecture, multimedia content and technology. ## #ToSeeInDallas ![](https://comingsoon.steavycarter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/att-globe-1024x576.jpg) **The Globe** is also a must-see! It is covered with a mirrored surface, so the structure reflects the surrounding buildings and people around it. Venture inside and you’ll [**discover the immersive visuals and soundscape**](https://float4.com/en/projects/the-globe-interactive-installation-at-att-discovery-district/) of the Globe, which use an array of sensors that allow the content to react in real time based on each guest's location within the structure. The 104-foot-tall **Media Wall** wraps the building at the corner of Akard and Jackson Streets. Featuring some seriously impressive media technology, it brings digital art and media to life in staggering detail. And post a selfie with **Golden Boy**, the iconic century-old statue who [**had a very tough life**](https://www.mrlocalhistory.org/goldenboy/) — read that one if you enjoy history — before eventually making his way to Dallas. ![](https://comingsoon.steavycarter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/golden-boy-statue-581x1024.jpeg) ## #EatAndDrinkInDallas When it comes to food and drink, check out [**The Exchange**](https://discoverydistrict.att.com/things-to-do-in-dallas/), which hosts a variety of places to eat and drink in an open food hall. The best part about The Exchange is that there is something for everyone, so my better half can get his Mediterranean fix from [**Baboushi**](https://www.instagram.com/baboushdallas/) and I can have my favorite snack, a pizza slice from [**Zalat**](https://theexchangehall.com/zalat-pizza/). Everything's better when it’s paired with a drink from [**Double Tap**](https://theexchangehall.com/vendor-double-tap/). But be careful! On-tap cocktails like "Little Black Submarines" are quite strong and will sneak up on you. If you have the kids with you, stop by the cake and ice cream jar vending machine by [**La Duni**](https://theexchangehall.com/la-duni/). My choice for happy hour is [**Jaxon Beer Garden**](https://jaxonbeergarden.com/), which offers an ongoing [**calendar of events**](https://jaxonbeergarden.com/events/) that includes live music on an outdoor stage. ## Put It on Your Dallas List If you are visiting Dallas, the AT&T Discovery District is on my must-visit list! If you live in the suburbs, it is a great place for date night. Not only that, there are great places to live just steps from everything the AT&T Discovery District has to offer.
