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.
