her neighborhood of Oak Cliff. The director of airport operations support at American Airlines lives there with husband Ryan and son West, 4. With a “strong sense of community, and proximity to downtown Dallas, there is always something nearby to do,” says Leach. Family restaurant: BETO & SON, which bills itself as “nextgeneration Mexican food.” They have a great patio—and always make West a special drink, so he doesn’t get jealous of our nitro margaritas! 3011 Gulden Lane, Suite 108, Dallas; 469/249-8590, betoandson.com. Green space: TWELVE HILLS NATURE CENTER is a wonderful escape and especially pretty in spring and fall. 817 Mary Cliff Road, Dallas; 469/249-2817, twelvehills.org. Go-to family outing: The DALLAS FARMERS MARKET. There is always so much to see and snack on, and it’s fun to support local businesses and farms. 920 S. Harwood St., Dallas; 214/664-9110, dallasfarmersmarket.org. For date night: Our go-to is STOCK & BARREL in Bishop Arts. They have a romantic atmosphere, great cocktails, the food is always amazing, and the service is outstanding. After, we stroll Bishop Arts and have dessert at EMPORIUM PIES. Stock & Barrel, 316 W. Davis St., Dallas; 214//888-0150, stockandbarreldallas.com; Emporium Pies, 314 N. Bishop Ave., Oak Cliff; 469/206-6126, emporiumpies.com. Get active: North Oak Cliff is beautiful and hilly. We love to walk down to COOMBS CREEK TRAIL and climb the KESSLER STEPS. Coombs Creek Trail, near the Coombs Creek Greenbelt and Stevens Park Golf Course, dallasparks.org; Kessler Steps, 1175 W. Canterbury Court, Oak Cliff. Cool off: For something light and refreshing, we head to ENCANTO POPS. They have the best fruitbased popsicles. We also love JOY MACARONS. Our son has declared their ice cream the best ever, and the Cereal Milk ice cream sandwich will change your life. Encanto Pops, 831 W. Davis St., Oak Cliff; 469/899-7434, encantopops.com; Joy Macarons, 839 W. Davis St., Oak Cliff; 214/434-1922, joymacarons.com.
