What are your favorite restaurants in Dallas?
Nosh: Escargot fritters are the bomb, and the warm chocolate souffle cake doesn't look like much, but wow!
Bolsa: Love the vibe and cannot go wrong with the bruschetta tasting.
State & Allen Lounge: A solid standby. I'd starve if it weren't for S&A. If I'm not dining in, I'm taking out.

Nodding Donkey: Great place to watch a game. The brisket and ribs rock!
Sfuzzi: Blueberry mojito and meatball sandwich, please. Can't get enough of the patio on a Friday or Saturday night in the summer.

What are your favorite venues in Dallas?
Angelika and Magnolia theaters: I'm a huge fan of foreign and independent films, plus both offer a glass of wine.

Dallas Summer Musicals: I've seen a lot of Broadway shows, but hadn't seen Wicked till I saw it there. Loved it.
