Not your usual cheddar slices on white bread variety (though they make those too). We're talking grilled sammies filled with everything from smoked gouda, cheddar and mac-n-cheese to brie, bacon and caramelized onions. There's even a grilled cheese sandwich (brioche with peanut butter, cream cheese, honey bananas, Nutella and marshmallows) on offer for dessert. The rest of the menu features soups, salads and appetizers like bacon-pineapple lollipops and pretzel-coated mozzarella bites.

you to this rustic, 36-seat trattoria. But be warned, the place is so popular that you must either book two months in advance or try your luck at scoring one of the counter seats saved for walk-ins. The focus is on Italian home cooking, with a rotating menu full of regional must-haves, ranging from house-cured meats and fresh crudo to handmade pastas, wild game and seafood. Expect to find selections like spaghetti with sea urchin butter and Wagyu beef with celery root and truffles. Be sure to order a few of the foie-gras-stuffed prunes to start and most definitely save room for dessert.

Bishop Cider Company
509 N Bishop AveCider Brewery
the bar is set up in a double wide trailer--replete with wood paneling, taxidermy animals, mismatched old furniture and white-trash memorabilia as far as the eyes can see. The theme continues out on the AstroTurf covered patio, where bar patrons relax on seats made from old toilets and chug Boone's Farm martinis. Aside from all its tackiness, Double Wide is one of Deep Ellum's top music venues-- showcasing everything from rock, bluegrass and Americana to electronica.

drinking dens in the city. And no wonder: it's a cozy neighborhood bar with friendly bar staff and a beverage program that pushes the boundaries of the cocktail experience. Almost everything that goes into their drinks is handcrafted (sodas, syrups, juices, tinctures, bitters and garnishes) with the help of fancy equipment like centrifuges and roto-vaporizers. Needless to say, the tempting range of cocktails won't make your decision of what to drink an easy one. But no worries, they offer a variety of menus based on your taste and mood, including an experimental section for those looking for a little more adventure. Even better, Hide has some seriously knockout bar food (think, ahi poke taco
