Do you find yourself glued to your couch Monday nights, watching the latest rose ceremonies, one‑on‑one dates and contestant drama on this season of The Bachelorette? Same. And since this season features one of Dallas' very own, we're recreating Rachel's dates!

Date No. 1: Sweet as Sugar Boutique – West Village

Hop on the McKinney Avenue Trolley to West Village for a Saturday afternoon shopping trip. Rachel and Peter visit Sweet as Sugar Boutique, a popular children’s store with a collection of sassy onesies and trendy tees.

Your next stop should be: The Rustic

If the shopping afternoon worked up your appetite, grab a seat on the patio at The Rustic – a top spot in Uptown. Order a pint of their fan‑favorite Local Buzz by Four Corner Brewery in Trinity Groves and snack on a bowl of double queso, a hearty serving of both cold pimento cheese dip and a creamy chipotle‑garlic queso, perfect for sharing.

Date No. 2: Reunion Tower GeO‑Deck – Downtown

Panoramic skyline views are hard to beat, and Rachel showed Eric the best way to experience Dallas at the Reunion Tower GeO‑Deck. The 448‑foot‑high observation deck now offers the Constellation experience, where couples can write their love in the stars with a personalized design. Each visit adds a glowing star to your shared constellation.

Your next stop should be: Trinity Groves

Enjoy elevated Mexican cuisine at Beto & Son or a BBQ delight at Babb Brothers. For plant‑based options, V‑Eats offers a menu that satisfies the vegan palate. Finish the night with dessert at Cake Bar and a romantic stroll across the Ron Kirk Pedestrian Bridge.

Date No. 3: HG SPLY CO – Lower Greenville

Brunch is a Dallas staple, and HG SPLY CO is a must‑visit. Request a rooftop table to take in another picturesque view of downtown while sipping mimosas.

Your next stop should be: Bullzerk

Get matching tees with quirky sayings that showcase Dallas spunk. The shop also features a distinct collection of art by artists from across the country.
