Come in and see why this family-owned business has become a part of life for generations of Park Cities families and SMU students. All products at JD’s Chippery are made “from scratch” and baked fresh throughout the day. We bake in small quantities to ensure freshness and superior quality. The chocolate chip cookies are to die for. They have that crispy crunch on the outside but the inside is so buttery soft and almost doughy that makes this cookie just melt in your mouth.

Get Your Outdoor Fix on the Katy Trail
Dallas might not be known as the most scenic of cities, but the Katy Trail defies that stigma and brings nature, fitness and skyscrapers together in a beautiful way. Stretching from downtown to the SMU area in the Park Cities, the trail provides a path for joggers, wa
lkers, skateboarders, bikers, rollerbladers, dog-walkers and baby strollers to move smoothly through the Dallas landscape.
The most recent addition, Snyder’s Union, overlooks the Trail at Carlisle Place close to Lemmon Avenue. It features a circular granite seating area covered by a dramatic trellis to reveal a beautiful view of Lee Park. If you take the trail north toward Park Cities, stop off on Knox Henderson at the Highland Park Pharmacy for a Vanilla Coke, Limeade, or several other old fashioned sodas to quench your thirst. 5K’s and walk-a-thons are not uncommon, so keep an eye out for opportunities to experience the nature on Katy in a variety of ways.
Betty Cupcake’s Sweet Spin on Fashion
Mother and daughter team Evelyn and Jacque Silverman grew up in a household with five unique women, which gives them an edge on what women really want when it co
mes to clothes. They dreamed up Betty Cupcake, a Snider Plaza boutique that caters to women from their 20’s all the way to their 60’s(!), with style that crosses boundaries, time, and generations.
With hard to find designers like Whitney Eve (designed by MTV reality star Whitney Port,) and unique jewelry pieces that will spark instant conversation, Betty Cupcake is anything but typical. Owner Jacque will make recommendations that almost always are a perfect fit and garner major compliments from friends and foes alike, so don’t be afraid to ask for her advice. Browse the shabby chic shop and find wardrobe staples that both you and your mother will love. But don’t feel like you have to share, there’s enough here to fill everyone’s closet.
