Spending time in the West End is must when in Dallas. Designated a Historic District in 1975, old warehouses and historic brick buildings in this 20 block area of downtown have been converted into restaurants and shops. Visit West End MarketPlace (previously the Sunshine Biscuit Company) and "Dallas Alley" (primary location for Dallas nightlife). A sample of well known businesses and sights in the West End include Hard Rock Cafe, Spaghetti Warehouse, House of Blues, Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse, Dallas World Aquarium, Dallas Holocaust Museum and Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. If you are not staying in the downtown area, you can easily reach the West End via DART.
