Where to Eat and Stay in Deep Ellum

Deep Ellum eats as well as it plays. Start at Pecan Lodge, the most-awarded barbecue in Dallas, or grab a slice at Serious Pizza and a bowl at Oni Ramen before the music starts. Staying over? The Pittman, the Kimpton boutique hotel in the heart of the neighborhood, puts you steps from the murals and the late dinners.

Our pick: The Sarafina Embellished Silk Box Kaftan.

Turn It Up

Deep Ellum is the place to wear the piece you can't wear anywhere quiet. A metallic or high-contrast statement dress, a column jumpsuit, or a bold goddess kaftan that catches the light off a mural — all in original prints you won't see twice on the same block. Keep the shoe comfortable enough to stand through a set and walk between bars.
