Before the sun sets, head up Reunion Tower to catch the best views of Dallas. While there, snag a table at Fifty Sixty Restaurant for dinner with a view.
Before heading back to the airport, stop at Dallas Farmers Market for some breakfast. If you are looking for fresh ingredients and even better taste, eat at Beyond the Butcher for ranch-to-table dining.
