EAST

White Rock Lake and glamorous Garland Road we know all about. If you’re bothering to leave Oak Cliff, let’s find something a little more off-beat to do. Here are a few paths to take for finding something unexpected east of our neighborhood.

ONEHead over to Beckley Avenue for a burger at Wingfield’s Do not be tempted to order a double-patty burger at this legendary hamburger stand. A single patty is plenty. If you arrive before 10:30 a.m., do consider ordering the ham, egg and cheese sandwich. For a different kind of meal that is no healthier, head over to Lancaster Avenue and order a chicken basket at the new-and-improved Rudy’s (give yourself a pat on the back for contributing to the fried-chicken stand’s cityfunded $900,000 renovation). It is possibly the best restaurant chicken anywhere, but be prepared to wait as long as 20 minutes in the drive-through during peak times. If that’s not your style, there are many more options on the East Side.
