Food Scene
Oishii is my favorite spot within walking distance to grab a nice sit down dinner. The food is always great, but be warned there can be a bit of a wait if you go to during rush hours Thursday through Sunday.

This is the closest DART (Train) station. It goes directly to the airport and downtown. It is efficient and cheap. The only downside is crossing Harry Hines Blvd which can be a bit precarious.

This is the closest bus station that goes into downtown. It is direct and the quickest public transportation option for going into downtown, but it is not as predictable as the DART line. The bus runs frequently between every ten to twenty minutes during the day.
