| Shopping in Dallas |
| Shopping in Dallas is not just a hobby: It's a sport. The city is a retail mecca, and many of its fashionable residents religiously patronize the department stores. Although small specialty shops do exist, Dallas takes pride in its sprawling shopping centers. In addition to the independent shopping strips scattered across the Metroplex, several key malls offer an incredible variety of stores and restaurants. |

| Department Stores |
Neiman Marcus
1618 Main St., Dallas.
Neiman Marcus is a Dallas institution. It has several stores in the Metroplex, but its downtown location -- the original flagship store -- remains a touchstone for serious, upscale shoppers. (Don't expect an "Old World" relic -- it's as slick as any other modern store.) It's also the only department store downtown. |

Shop there for wonderful folk and fine art by Mexican artists.
Texas Art Gallery
5570 Lovers Lane, Suite 396 (in Inwood Village), Dallas.

Galleria
LBJ Freeway (I-635) at Dallas Parkway, North Dallas, Dallas.
Dallas' largest indoor mall is a great attraction for visitors. Nearly 200 stores on four levels, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Marshall Field, Tiffany's, Gucci, Charles Jourdan, Cartier and Brooks Brothers. Also at the Galleria are a food court, a multiscreen theater and an ice-skating rink. All are enclosed beneath a dramatic glass vault atrium.
Highland Park Village
Preston Road at Mockingbird Lane, Dallas.
Built in the 1930s, Highland Park Village was the nation's first shopping center and a prototype for successors in the U.S. Tenant stores range from Chanel and Hermes to the Gap. Annual wine and food festivals take place there.
NorthPark Center
1030 NorthPark Center (Northwest Highway at Central Expressway, North Dallas), Dallas.
Within 10-20 minutes of many hotels, this mall offers more than 150 stores, including Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Lord & Taylor and Dillard's. Also on-site is one of the world's finest collections of contemporary art, belonging to NorthPark developer Raymond Nasher and his wife, Patsy. A trolley bus connects the mall to the nearby DART line, making it accessible for visitors staying at downtown hotels. |
