What to Do in Dallas Tonight: July 28

Want to have something to talk about with your really cool friends? The ones with ironic glasses and hip T-shirts who fancy themselves pop culture experts? Get tickets to see Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier at the Granada Theater.

On an ordinary late-July night in Lakewood, I would probably recommend a dinner of chicken-fried steak and Bob Armstrong dip at Matt’s Rancho Martinez. However, knowing that your show is on Greenville Avenue with its 15 available free parking spaces, you’re best served arriving early and dining closer to the action. Aw Shucks is appropriately casual and fun for this occasion (and the crackers are free!). However, if it’s especially muggy out—and the data gathered from my command post here on the 21st floor suggest it may be—Café Izmir might be a more comfortable bet. Mmm. Tabouli.

The show is likely to induce side-splitting laughter, resulting in acute muscle pain of the torso. Before calling it a night, numb that pain with nature’s most agreeable analgesic, beer, at the Lakewood Landing. Sip your suds, relive the evening’s funniest moments, and impress yourself and others with your selections on the jukebox.

  1. And don’t forget, the last movie night at the Belmont! They’re showing Raising Arizona.
