Located in North Texas and a major city in the American South, Dallas is a core of the largest inland metropolitan area in the United States that lacks any navigable link to the sea.
The city's prominence arose from its historical importance as a center for the oil and cotton industries, and its position along numerous railroad lines. Dallas developed a strong industrial and financial sector, and a major inland port,
due largely to the presence of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and
busiest airports in the world. It was rated as an alpha- world city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group & Network

West Village in Uptown
East Dallas is home to Deep Ellum, a trendy arts area close to Downtown,
the homey Lakewood neighborhood, historic Vickery Place and Bryan Place, and the architecturally significant Swiss Avenue.
North of the Park Cities is Preston Hollow, home to Texas' wealthiest residents, as well as the most expensive homes in the state.
The area is also characterized by a variety of high-powered shopping areas, including Galleria Dallas, NorthPark Center, and Highland Park Village.
In the northeast quadrant of the city is Lake Highlands, one of Dallas' most unified middle-class neighborhoods.
Midtown Dallas is currently undergoing construction of new high-rise apartments, restaurants, and retail.
The midtown area is generally a new classification of the city, consisting of North Park Mall, SMU, White Rock Lake, The Dallas Arboretum, and new retail/high-rises,
most notably along Park Lane and Central Expressway. Midtown is bordered by University Park to the west, Preston Hollow to the North, Lake Highlands/Lakewood to the East, and Uptown/City Place to the South.
Kidd Springs Park in Oak Cliff
Southwest of Downtown lies Oak Cliff, a hilly area that has undergone gentrification in recent years in neighborhoods such as the Bishop Arts District.
Oak Cliff originated as a township founded in the mid-1800s and was annexed by the city of Dallas in 1903.
Today, most of the area's northern residents are Hispanic.
The ghost town of La Reunion once occupied the northern tip of Oak Cliff.
South Oak Cliff is a mixture of Black/African American, Hispanic, and Native American.
South Dallas, a distinct neighborhood southeast of Downtown, lays claim to the Cedars, an eclectic artist hotbed south of downtown and Fair Park, home of the annual State Fair of Texas, occurring in October.
Much of the southern portion of the city is characterized now by high rates of poverty and crime.
To spur growth in the southern sector of the city, University of North Texas System opened a Dallas campus in October 2006 in South Oak Cliff near the intersection of Interstate 20 and Houston School Rd. Large amounts of undeveloped land remain nearby, due to decades of slow growth south of Downtown. Further east, in the southeast quadrant of the city, is the large neighborhood of Pleasant Grove.
Once an independent city, it is a collection of mostly lower-income residential areas stretching all the way to Seagoville in the southeast. Though a city neighborhood, Pleasant Grove is surrounded by undeveloped land on all sides, including swampland separating it from South Dallas that will in the future be part of the Great Trinity Forest, a subsection of the city's Trinity River Project.
Dallas is further surrounded by many suburbs and includes three enclaves within the city boundaries—Cockrell Hill, Highland Park, and University Park.
Cuisine
Besides spacious apartments, Dallas is also known for its barbecue, authentic Mexican, and Tex-Mex cuisine.
Famous products of the Dallas culinary scene include the frozen margarita and the chain restaurants Chili's and Romano's Macaroni Grill.
Fearing's restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas hotel in Uptown Dallas was named the best hotel restaurant in the US for 2009 by Zagat Survey.
The Ritz-Carlton Dallas hotel was also named 2009 best US hotel by Zagat, and 2009 No. 2 hotel in the world by Zagat, trailing only the Four Seasons King George V in Paris, France.
A number of nationally ranked steakhouses can be found in the Dallas area, including Bob's Steak & Chop House, currently ranked No. 1 according to the USDA Prime Steakhouses chart.
