Being a native Dallasite and having memories of every square inch over decades can be very…read morerewarding or sometimes, emotionally challenging. Snider Plaza is one of those places that I can think back over time long ago, sometime ago and yesterday. Each time period holds pleasant memories sometimes dramatic. Back before 10 speed bikes were a thing,not many people had them. The Sears catalog is where I spotted my first one and wanted one for months. Somehow I found out about the Schwinn shop in Snider Plaza. So,I saved and eventually my grandmother took me there where I purchased a bright green mens 10 speed with drop handlebars wrapped in neon green tape. I can't drive down Hillcrest and into Snider Plaza without looking over and thinking about it. These days my old stand by fried chicken institution,Bubbas Cooks Country is the reason I show up most. However, there are many other great restaurants and antique stores I visit time to time in Snider Plaza.

I am positive that I have reviewed Snider Plaza before but I am being prompted to write a review,…read moreso here we ago again. I have come to really like Snider Plaza. There is a lot of retail and restaurant turnover, but there are also icons that have been there for decades: Kuby's, Banditos, Half Shells, Amore, Bubba's, and Penne Pomodoro come to mind. We also tried Coastal Cuisine several years ago and we should return since we did like it. You could establish a rotation of restaurants to eat at just on the plaza, not to mention the restaurants that are a few minutes walk along Hillcrest. This trip we discovered some new restaurants that look like they might be worth checking out. Parking can be tight but if you can find a spot, it is fun to walk the plaza and window shop or do real shopping. This time we saw some new places that offer outside seating so if you want a break from shopping, you can stop for a snack or drink of some kind and relax when the weather is nice. When you are done eating, drinking, and shopping, you can walk for a bit through the beautiful SMU campus.

It is a beautiful outdoor plaza conveniently located on Belt Line Rd, right off the Dallas North Tollway. Always seems clean, well-manicured landscaping - great photo spots! Wide variety of restaurants and bars to cater to different palates - Sushi, Seafood, Mexican, American, Indian, Italian - and that's not even all! Trust me, you will find something there to enjoy! No shortage of entertainment either between the movie theaters, sports bars, and pubs - Boutiques for shopping, a few day spas to choose from, well you get the gist of it! On this particular visit, I went for their second Annual Pairings in the Parkway event. For $25 (in advance, $30 on day of event) we got to sample a food and drink pairing from seven restaurants in the Parkway - The offerings are listed below. It was a good value to be able to sample some choices from so many restaurants. Event itself was not overly packed so we were able to get through most of the restaurants very quickly (individual reviews of those to follow). I was a little disappointed though, that when we went to turn in our completed food passport at the end of the event to enter into the drawing for a gift certificate, the event tents were already packed up and gone by 4:30 pm although the center stated the event ran until 5 pm. Oh well, I will consider attending again next year if they highlight different restaurants from the center. The Food/Drink we received from each participating restaurant! Most were sample sizes, except HopDoddy who gave us a whole burger!

Mockingbird Station is a very fancy mini outdoor mall that will remind you a little bit of the domain in Austin. It's in North Dallas right off the highway in a very Prime area. It doesn't matter that there are three or four other major malls including the Galleria and Northpark within a couple of miles of here. Because this mall still gets massive traffic, and parking on one of the street spots which are metered quite expensively is still difficult. The VS store here is small and claustrophobic but has plenty of good stuff, and the Bath & Body store is nice with great employees as well. All in all Mockingbird is a great little Mall and Barbie made it look even better. Just don't make fun of any avian creatures while you're shopping here. It's not nice to go around Mockingbirds.
