Henderson/Capitol neighborhood is Dallas' newest "it" spot
Once upon a time -- actually, last year -- downtown was where all the nightlife action was in this city. Main Street is still crowded on the weekends, but the Henderson/Capitol neighborhood has quickly become the new place to be. They've already got Barcadia (photo above), Capitol Pub, Glo Lounge and the newly revamped Slip Inn.
Coming soon are Sushi Axiom, a hip, Fort Worth-based restaurant; Veritas, a wine retail shop and bar; and Soley, an upscale Mexican restaurant. And this has only been THIS YEAR, people. How crazy is that?
Similar to downtown, the only downside here is the parking. On weekend evenings, the shopping center's entire parking lot (where Jerry's used to be, to give you a point of reference) closes for valet only. That leaves the only free parking on the residential streets, which I'm sure neighbors aren't going to be very happy about. DART should get a trolley out here. Too bad it would take like five years before anything happens.

That skeeball area is one of my favorite places in Dallas.
