Week after week, you’ve come to Thrillist for ideas on how to spend your weekend, whether that's out at a new bar, a block party or a museum exhibit. Things are different now, as North Texas fights to flatten the curve, and cities face stay-at-home orders -- but just because you’re stuck at home doesn’t mean you’re in for a boring weekend.
To ensure that you’re not getting stir crazy this weekend, we’re offering Dallas experiences you might have done this weekend -- in a normal world -- paired with something to stream and a restaurant offering take-out and delivery.
What are the best things you can do in Dallas this weekend? Support local businesses, stay home, eat, drink, and stream.
If you would have taken a yoga class this weekend...
Stream: A live online class with Black Swan Yoga
Weekend-long
Cost: Donations are encouraged.
Eat: Take-out from Trompo. Or order online via DoorDash or Postmates.
Bishop Arts
One of the best things about taking a class at Black Swan Yoga in Bishop Arts is that it’s right next to Trompo, and you can get tacos after your class. They’re well deserved after a tough class, too. Live-stream a class at home, then venture out to get some take-out from Trompo. Don’t forget to get an elote.
If you would have laughed at the Dallas Comedy House…
Stream: Pete Davidson: Alive From New York on Netflix
Cost: Streaming prices vary.
Eat: A pie from Greenville Avenue Pizza Company. Order online via Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub.
Lower Greenville
There’s nothing quite like having a laugh at the Dallas Comedy House. Unfortunately, we’re still a few weeks away from that happening. In the meantime, we need as many laughs as we can get, so stream Pete Davidson’s new standup special and have a slice from Greenville Avenue Pizza Co.
If you would have gone to an art museum…
Stream: A virtual tour of the Museum of Modern Art
Cost: Free
Eat: A cheese tray from Scardello. Order online via Seamless or Grubhub.
Oaklawn
North Texas has some pretty great art museums like the Dallas Museum of Art and the Kimbell. If you still want to get in touch with your artsy side this weekend, take a virtual of New York’s MoMa. Of course, you’ve got to keep it classy while you’re exploring the art, so pick up a cheese tray from Scardello. Bonus: Get a bottle of wine from them, too. During the coronavirus in Texas, alcohol can be picked up from a restaurant as long as you buy food.
If you would have hit the bars in Deep Ellum…
Stream: The Hangover.
Cost: Streaming prices vary.
Eat: An Angry Burger from Angry Dog. Order online via Postmates or Grubhub.
Deep Ellum
The best part about social distancing during a pandemic? There’s no FOMO. No one will be out at the Deep Ellum bars this weekend, but you can still create that night (to an extent). Have some drinks and watch The Hangover; then, when you realize how lucky you are to be skipping out on your own confusion-ridden hangover, chow down on a hot sauce-covered Angry Burger from Deep Ellum's Angry Dog.
If you would have had coffee at a cafe…
Stream: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix.
Cost: Streaming prices vary.
Eat: Avocado toast from La La Land Cafe. Order online via DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub.
Lower Greenville
Sipping coffee at a local cafe and going for a walk with a friend: two things you don't realize you miss until a quarantine takes them away. While the coffee shops are closed to sit-down customers, you can still support them by picking up some coffee. Get some avocado toast and a cortado from La La Land Cafe, then get back home and replicate that friendly conversation with Jerry Seinfeld's banterful Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
If you would have spent Saturday day-drinking at Katy Trail Ice House…
Stream: Schitt’s Creek
Cost: Streaming prices vary.
Eat: A barbecue sandwich from Katy Trail Ice House. Order online via Postmates or Grubhub.
Uptown
On a typical sunny Saturday, the perfect move is to hit the Katy Trail Ice House for some day drinking and good food -- but obviously, typical Saturdays are a thing of the past. While we can’t hang out there this weekend, you can still order barbecue, burgers, and booze to-go. You’ve got to match the positive vibes of a Saturday at the ice house with an upbeat show. We suggest binging on Schitt’s Creek.
If you would spent the weekend watching baseball…
Stream: A classic Texas Rangers games on Fox Sports Southwest
Cost: Streaming prices vary.
Eat: A hotdog from Dog Haus Biergarten
Richardson
MLB Opening Day was supposed to be on Thursday -- but of course, all sports are pretty much suspended for the foreseeable future. Thankfully, Fox Sports Southwest will be airing classic Rangers games from last season. Catch a game, and take it in like you’re at the ballpark with a delicious hotdog from Dog Haus Biergarten; we recommend the Chili Idol.
