We're going to be there for a short visit.
Name the top 3 must-do or must-see in the area.
Also any outstanding kosher eateries or restaurants (dairy or meat).

I haven't been there in years so I don't know the restaurant scene, but I grew up there and there's really not much touristy stuff to do. If you want to drive to Ft. Worth which is around an hour away the Stockyards are interesting. Also if you are into history, the 6th Floor Mueseum is where Kennedy was shot from. The Galleria Mall is nice and big, and has ice skating.
If you happen to be coming when the State Fair is then that's actually a lot of fun. And on the Fair Grounds are a bunch of mueseums including the Science Center and Woman's Mueseum. Otherwise Dallas is a pretty boring place to visit.

Most restaurants in Dallas are meat but The Market is fabulous for dairy. It's a brunch place that markets itself to the general population.

Welcome! Here is a list of kosher restaurants in Dallas. Please note that Meat Point is no longer certified kosher by the Vaad.

The Sixth Floor Museum (downtown) is very interesting if you like that kind of stuff - it's all about the assassination of President Kennedy. We've been there twice.

Milk and honey is a fleishig place? Funny...
We're not being there long enough to make it worthwhile to travel an hour to ft. worth.

Is the reunion tower interesting?

I know, it is funny. Milk and Honey is called that because they carry a lot of Israeli products. I think originally they didn't have a lunch counter, but they've had one for many years and it's always been fleishig.
I've never been to the Reunion Tower so I can't say. Other than just the shuls and places like that, we really don't have any Jewish points of interest that I'm aware of.
Oh, one other place is the Dallas Arboretum. You can Google it. Right now we're still having very mild-to-warm weather and that's a lovely place to visit and stroll around. There is also a Dallas zoo (I've never been to it). Both are in the downtown area.

There are a number of caterers offering menu options, but my go-to takeout place is Kosher Palate (Belt Line at Coit - you can Google them). You can get some limited takeout at the Tom Thumb at 1380 Coit Road or the Tom Thumb at Preston/Forest (depending which neighborhood you're staying in) but Kosher Palate usually has everything you'd want.
Have a happy stay in our neck of the woods!

Reunion tower is fun! I also enjoyed the arboretum, zoo, and aquarium.

Any suggestions for a clean and comfortable hotel, not too pricey, near a shul?

There's a Holiday Inn 1.2 miles from Ohr HaTorah. Cooper Hotel and Spa is only .5 miles, but may be more expensive.

Thanks! I found those on the shul’s website. Have you been to either hotel? Were they clean? Also, do you know if they are close to any of the kosher restaurants?

We stayed at the Cooper Hotel and had a great experience. It's a beautiful, well-kept hotel. I can answer any of your questions. You can find lots of kosher within 10 minute car drive, some things closer, some things farther.

Thanks! Cooper is booked.
Anyone have reviews on:
Double Tree near the Galleria
Holiday Inn
Hilton Hotel Lincoln Centre
??
Looking for clean and comfortable. Don’t need luxurious. All these 3 are close drive to shuls
