Low-lit, old-fashioned steakhouse in Plano with a contemporary-ish decor. They have a la carte portions, except with some entrees/specials (I recommend the salmon, if they have it on the specials’ menu). All together this place is a bit pricey, but the service is also very good. The servers are not overly pushy and they don’t rush you through your meal.

When I have the opportunity I try to see the latest independent and foreign films at one of the two Angelika theatres in North Texas. The Angelika in Plano is newer and has a slight edge of its counter part in Dallas in terms of the fanciness of the building. Although it only has 5 screens as opposed to the 10 or so the Dallas theatre has. The concessions are costly but you can buy delicious goods not available at most theatres.

This movie theater has a huge parking lot so there is always parking space. At night sometimes, there is even a police tower in the parking lot to make sure everyone is safe. There is a huge selection of movies and the seats are very comfortable. This theater also has the best popcorn by far. Make sure you ask for the freshly popped ones if you see it!

You can watch a movie for 50 cents every tuesday! How can you complain? There isn't stadium seating like in the all too common megaplexes, but since you are paying less than one-fifth the price of a regular ticket, its really hard to say there's anything wrong with Movies 10. I've never been injured or become sick from going to Movies 10, so all in all, 50 cents well spent....most of the time, there are movies that I wish I coudl get my 50 cents back from, sadly enough. So you have to wait a couple months later to catch it for a cheaper price, I don't mind.

Come here for some old fashioned fun. Get retro with the 4 wheelers or upgrade to the inlines. Hard wood floors make for smooth skating. Some nights they're closed for church activities so make sure you call ahead to check if they're open. Sometimes they hold races. There is a small arcade.

Dr. Pepper has several locations in the Metro Dallas area. The one that I am reviewing is the one in Plano. It located on Plano Parkway and have skating lessons and Hockey practices. Their lessons are pretty good. I heard a few of my friends comment on them. If you have boys, they tend to suggest you to move from skating to Hockey. I have also been invited to a birthday party there. It is much quieter than other skating place and the place is very big. I could think this place is more for professional training than the one in Stonebriar Mall.

I'm not sure how to describe this game, its just tons of fun. Get a big group of friends together and give this game a try, its a blast. Its takes a little getting used to, because the bumper cars are equipped with an odd steering rig, not a steering wheel. That definitely makes it interesting, and then trying to manuever while using a giant lacross type thing makes it even more difficult. Once you get the hang of it tho, its a hoot. Go give whirlyball a try with your friends.

My wife and I discovered this place a few years back and it is really great for those who don't have time to go to dinner and a movie separately. The Studio Movie Grill allows you to sit down to a decent meal while watching a movie. The movie theater does not have the typical row after row of seats. Instead, you get to sit at a table and eat your meal in the theater. The menu selections are decent and not significantly higher priced than what you'd pay at a normal restaurant. I recommend the BBQ chicken sandwich, and my wife loves their wraps. They also offer a "baby night" for those of you with little ones who are willing to try something like that. Be sure to arrive early to make sure you get a seat! Their showings fill up fast! It's also nice to have a little extra time before the movie starts to look at the menu and get your order placed.

I recently started taking ice skating lessons with my daughter who is 5. Its relatively inexpensive for the 8 lessons over 8 weeks. Its neat that they have two classes going on the same rink for adults and kids. Teachers are great and very kind and understanding and don't laugh when us adults do worse than the kids. I would definitely recommend to others. They also have a great public skates times too that are so much fun for the whole family.
