Hi everyone, I found out yesterday that I'll be going to Dallas for my psychiatry residency! Super excited to get started, I'm coming from the northeast. Would appreciate any advice about Dallas including neighborhoods, things to do, food, what's dart and is it reliable?

Thank you!!

I second the message about the usability of DART. DART itself is great, but there is a lack of ways to get from DART stations to wherever you want to go. Public transit in dfw (Dallas fort worth metropolitan area) is only usable if both start and destination are right next to DART stations.

Bike lanes are also sparse for most of dfw. A car or motorcycle is necessary. If you do choose motorcycle for financial or whatever other reasons, be careful as dfw roads are full of asshole drivers.
