I’m a sucker for a good summer picnic, especially an urban picnic in the heart of a city. Here’s my guide to the perfect urban picnic in Dallas, Texas.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Load up your basket.  <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Preparing for your picnic is as easy as making a stop at the Dallas Farmers Market<\/a> where farmers come from miles around to proudly present the fruits of their labor. Essentials for my picnic — a little wine, a little fresh fruit, some meat and cheese.  Be sure to visit The Old World Sausage Company<\/a> and the Cheese Peddlers in Shed 2.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stake out your spot.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I suggest Klyde Warren Park<\/a>, a five-acre grassy park built over an eight-lane freeway. It’s only been on the Dallas scene for less than a year, and locals are already flocking to it’s wide open space and grassy green parks. Blanket. check. snacks, check. Now bring on the sun.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Finish your day with a moment of zen.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Head to the garden at the Nasher Sculpture Center<\/a>. Here, the Nasher family has put their extensive art collection on exhibit for all of Dallas to enjoy. It’s the quietest moment you will find in the center of a big city – a true sanctuary.<\/p>\n
