The Lazy Guide - Dallas
Hi guys! For those of you followed my Instagram, probably already knew that I was in Dallas for the past weekend. I wasn’t going to write a post as I am more laid back when it comes to travelling (Aka I am not a rigid travel planner), so I wasn’t sure if I would get enough content for you guys to read. But then I changed my mind, what if there’s someone out there that’s chill (or lazy) just like me, and they’re looking for a simple yet informative one-stop shop for weekend getaway plans in Dallas? So here we go!
大家好久不見！有追蹤我IG的人應該有發現我過去這個週末有點樂活達拉斯。原本是沒有想要寫文的因為我這人一講到旅行就想要癱軟，完全走懶人行程，但後來轉念一想，想說搞不好有跟我一樣的懶人想要一些達拉斯懶人包，就快快地寫了文分享，希望對你們計劃旅行有幫助囉！
WHERE TO SLEEP
I stayed at le Meridien the Stoneleigh located in uptown. Built in the 1920s, the 11-story Le Meridien features Art Deco design and greenish color palettes that create an elegant atmosphere in its 170 non-smoking rooms. My favorite part about this hotel is it has an outdoor pool that isn't used by many people, the atmosphere there is warm and inviting, and I can totally just hang there for a chill summer afternoon. Although I do have to say the room we got on the 5th floor, sometimes we could still hear the traffic or people walking by late at night. Would recommend to get a pool view, or higher up floor to prevent this situation from happening.
我們這次的飯店定在達拉斯上城的寒舍艾美。這間艾美算是有點歷史，1920年就蓋好了，但內裝應該是有全新改造過，非常新穎氣派。飯店內的戶外泳池應該是我最喜歡的地方了，不像我們台北W hotel或Hyatt總是一堆人，這裡的泳池非常清幽，池畔的躺椅我完全可以悠哉地躺一個下午，喜歡！唯一一點美中不足的地方是我們的房間是在五樓向外，所以夜深人靜時會聽到一些外面車子經過，或酒醉美國人嬉鬧的聲音，建議可以訂池畔房或者是高一點的樓層應該就可以避免這樣的情形。
I am a big fan of tacos, and Torchy’s tacos did not fail me! They started as a trailer in Austin, and now they have franchised throughout Texas! From my first take I feel like it’s the taco version of NY Shake Shack- trendy vibe, popping music, young crowds, tacos are not traditional Mexican flavor yet refreshing- I would definitely recommend if you haven’t already tried!
你們跟我一樣事Taco魔人嗎？搬到紐約來後我真的是一天到晚吃Tacos，所以到達拉斯當然要來這間大名鼎鼎的Torchy’s Taco朝聖！不知道你們對紐約的Shake Shack熟不熟悉，我覺得Torchy’s滿像是墨西哥版的Shake Shack，店的風格潮潮的、年輕人很多，tacos的口味不是傳統的墨西哥風味，但我個人滿喜歡的，推。
18th & Vine Barbeque
This is on the recommendation list from the Le Meridien. The décor is very chic, and food is 100% yummy! I still drool whenever I think about the apple pie with ice cream till now, please go if you’re ever in Dallas! (And they have a HOT waiter! Bradley Cooper Hot!)
來達拉斯以前，我內心就想好一定要吃到德州烤肉。這間餐廳是寒舍艾美推薦的，搭uber過去大概10分鐘左右。餐廳的內裝很美，我點了半份烤肋排，男子點了一些傳統的南方菜色，蘋果派加冰淇淋非常好吃，請一定要點！（還有一個服務生很帥喔！）
Bread Winner’s Café
I thought only people in New York lined up for brunches! Obviously people in Dallas do so too! We actually walked from our hotel here(around 20 mins), in a breezy fall weather it’s not too bad at all! The portion of the food is VERY BIG, so if you’re going as a group, recommended to share the dishes.
我想這間應該是全達拉斯最夯的早午餐店！我們那天11點左右到，店外可是大排長龍呢！但好在店超級無敵大，turn桌的速度很快，大概等了20多分鐘就輕鬆入座了，還很幸運坐到室內陽光區，又有空調又有陽光，幸運！這邊的食物份量很大，所以建議可以大家點一點一起share，不然絕對會吃不完！
WHAT TO DO
Fort Worth Stockyard
It’s a very cute cowboy town. If you’ve never been to Texas and really want to see what REAL (or vintage Texas is like), this is the place to go. You can either take Trinity Rail Road express(TRE) which would cost you around 1.5 hrs and 10 bucks for a day pass; or if you like to travel in luxury Uber is an option too, it’s around 40 bucks and around 40-50 minutes. We walked around and watched a rodeo show there, it was a beautiful and relaxing day, feels great to get out of the city!
沃斯堡牧場：這裡大概是全德州最具有牛仔風情的地方了。這邊離達拉斯市中心有段距離，搭uber大概是40分鐘40塊左右，搭火車的話大概是一個半小時一日票10元，可以看經濟狀況和時間安排。我們大概是下午四點左右到，悠悠閒閒地東晃西晃，待到8:30左右看了我人生的第一場牛仔秀，一張票20元，如果還沒看過的話絕對是值回票價的。
