TV Host Hilary Kennedy Loves Late Nights at DMA
Hilary Kennedy has hosted segments on everything about local Dallas life: sports, real estate, dining and holiday celebrations. But every third Friday, there's one Dalla
s event that is "perfect for a night owl like me," and that's Late Nights at DMA.
Once a month the Dallas Museum of Art keeps its doors open extra late and the crowd goes from the typical tourist and family scene to young, sophisticated Texans. "They have live music, treats and tours until midnight," Hilary told citybuzz. Every month there's a different theme and the DMA does a great job of keeping it cool. For example, in anticipation for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland remake, the DMA hosted Mad Hatter treasure hunts, a film screening of the original Alice in Wonderland and had a DJ spinning in each of its galleries.
As Hilary says, "It's great for a romantic date," or to see great art in an even better atmosphere.
*** Hilary Kennedy is the host of many of Dallas' favorite TV shows, like NBC5's "Home and Lifestyle Television," KFWD's "Just Fun TV" and "Hot On! Homes." Hilary began her career as the first female Entertainment Host for the Dallas Stars hockey team and is the host of the nationally syndicated "New Year's Nation" every New Year's Eve.

Tracy Hutson Dive-ing Into Grapevine
On the surface a dive bar may seem an unusual nightlife favorite for television star and stylist/designer Tracy Hutson, but then you wouldn't understand the charm of neighborhood hotspot Grapevine.
Sure, Grapevine has a killer rooftop with views of the Dallas skyline, but then everything gets curiously odd from there. For starters, it has a basketball court. The clientele is everyone from yuppie lawyers to the local gay and lesbian crowd. It has mismatched glassware that is purchased bi-weekly from the local Goodwill.
And without any mass advertising, except word-of-mouth through the grapevine, this place is packed to the brim every night.
Grapevine says, "Our customers are like our glasses; they're all different!" And that's exactly why Tracy Hutson, and nightlife critics from AOL to Dallas.com, loves this bar. Tracy Hutson has a lot in common with Grapevine. She blends her philanthropic nature with eclectic design from her ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" job to her Dallas nightlife spot. And she always has fun doing both!
**Tracy Hutson is a native Texan and style consultant on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, author of Feathering the Nest: Tracy Hutson's Eco-friendly Guide to Decorating Your Baby's Room, and founder of Tracy Hutson Designs.
