The Last Word: Why the NYTimes Says ‘Dallas Is the New Dubai’ of Luxe Restaurants“I have gotten calls from every single restaurant group in the country.”Stephen SummersManaging DirectorHighland Park Village.…speaking to the New York Times for its story, “For Diners With Deep Pockets, Dallas Is the New Dubai.”If you want a seat in some of Dallas’ hottest new high-end restaurants, you’d better get in line. And according to the New York Times, that’s just what some of the top restaurant groups in the U.S. are doing as they put Dallas at the top of the list for their expansion plans.
