While Waco seems to get most of the attention for great shopping venues, the Metroplex has a wonderful selection of unique boutiques, warehouses and antiques! If you’re making a day of your trip, and I suggest you do, I included some nearby places to grab lunch or a drink, too!
1. Discount Home Warehouse, 1768 Empire Central, Dallas Reclaimed doors, windows and much, much more! If you secretly want to be a Gaines, this is where you go!
2. Bishop Arts District, Dallas Plan to spend hours exploring this fun and unique section of Dallas’ Oak Cliff neighborhood! You’ll find great shops, restaurants and be selfie ready for all the fun murals!
3. Old Home Supply, 1801 College Ave, Fort Worth Looking for the perfect claw-foot bath tub, or old reclaimed fixtures? This is it! Afterwards, head up two blocks to Magnolia to Brewed! I absolutely love their amazing Pulled Pork hash!
4. Camp Bowie in Fort Worth This historic street in Fort Worth boast some of our favorite shops, like Beehive and the Historic Camp Bowie Mercantile. Spend the day shopping and then grab lunch at the original Kincaids, Uncle Julio’s or Lucille’s!
6. Highland Park Village, 47 Highland Park Village, Dallas If you’re looking for upscale shopping, then look no further. Shop or just window shop these great stores, grab lunch at Perfect Union Pizza Company and watch a movie at the amazing Village Theater!
7. Bluebonnet Circle, Fort Worth This famous roundabout now offers more restaurant options than shops, but we still love peeking in Junker Val’s Antiques and Vintage Clothing and THREE on our way to lunch at The Purple Frog, Greenwood’s or Fred’s!
8. Gracie Lane Collection, 4720 S. Cooper, Arlington My go-to shop for cute t-shirts is just one of the reasons to visit this assortment of vendors. Afterwards, head down to El Ranchito for a terrific Tex Mex lunch!
9. Henderson/Knox Area, Dallas Favor the Kind and Vintage Martini on Henderson and Froggie’s 5 and 10 on Knox are 3 consistent favorites! Grab lunch at Roti Grill for a fun change!
10. DFW Mantinques, Dallas Also located in Bishop Arts, but about the only shopping trip I can get my husband to make with me is a visit to Mantiques and then drinks at nearby Ten Bells Tavern.
11. West Village, Uptown Dallas Fun shops, services and great restaurants anchored by the Magnolia Theater featuring indie movies!
12. Inwood Village, Dallas Visit on a pretty day to park the car and take in the neighborhood’s fun vibe! Rich Hippie is a must on your visit! It’s also anchored by another Landmark Theater, the Inwood.
13. The Stockyards, Fort Worth You’ll find amazing boutiques, home furnishing and decor and so much more!
14. Deep Ellum, Dallas Visit Flea Style for great boutique finds, or Jade and Clover’s fun floral shop!
