    I’ve got the rest of the day to kill and would rather not sit in the hotel or in a bar.

    I’ve been to Dealey Plaza and the 6th Floor Museum.

    Anything else worth checking out?
     
    Shopping and Eating

    That's most of what there is to do in Dallas
     
    Sounds like you are in or close to downtown? I think there’s a marathon going on but unfortunately that’s gotta be the worst spectator sport in the world.

    Yeah, only thing to do usually involves shopping, eating or drinking. The best thing to do is get out of the city but sounds like you’re time is too limited to accomplish that.
     
    If you like the JFK stuff drive over to the Parkland hospital emergency room entrance it is just like all of the pictures you have ever seen. A little creepy in that respect.
     
    Head over to Fort worth and check out the stock yards or something then.

    Really on a Sunday the entire DFW area is boring as all can be, and you can't really get your drinking on either.

    So it's eating and shopping and going to church or going to a friends place for the eating and such.

    Jerry world, and the rangers stadium are close

    The Gaylord in Grapevine has their ice exhibit right now with giant ice carvings, that’s always cool to see.

    Are you with family or by yourself?
     
    Yeah, from Arlington the Stockyards in Fort Worth is a really good suggestion - some things to see there. IMO Fort Worth mo bettah than Big D.

    If staying put in Arlington then probably Texas Live by the new ballpark would offer most room to roam but in the end it’s just a Texas size bar, loud, will be lots of drunk Cowboys homers getting their game on….ugh.
     
    I alway hit the Samurai museam down in the business district and the resturant you go through to get there is pretty damn good! Fort Worth... The stock yards are cool and grab a burger at Rodeo Goat or hit the Woodshed Smokehouse.
     
    I’m with a coworker, so doesn’t need to be family oriented.

    Pretty nice day so the Stockyards might be in order.

    Thanks for the tips!

    The Haas Moto museam is bad ass. And if you ask nicely they'll take you to the other building to see the stuff that they don't have room for in the main building.
     
    Dallas World Aquarium is right there in downtown and pretty impressive. Lots of very good options for food. Nobu, or Uchi for sushi and the like.

    https://www.loroeats.com/ for very solid Texas/Korean fusian bbq. Aaron Franklin of Franklins BBQ in Austin is involved.

    Several good breweries around like Celestial brewing, deep Ellum brewing, Dots brew house.

    Upscale Mexican try Javiers in the knox henderson area.

    Seafood and steaks upscale then Ocean Prime or Papa's Bros.

    There is a start for ya, how long are you sequestered?
     
    If you are at the stockyards hit up Coopers for some damn good bbq while you are there
     
    Terry Blacks BBQ, Deep Ellum brewing. Cool area. Heard good things about the stock yards
