With the female-friendly DailyCandy pulling out of Dallas last month, a new daily e-mail tip sheet thingy has launched here, and now it’s just the guys who are getting serviced. Surely you subscribe already to Thrillist. Well, now you can hook up with UrbanDaddy, also based in New York. How do I know it’s based in New York? Because of all the delicious chestnuts contained in their announcement about their new Dallas edition:
You know what they say: everything’s bigger in Texas.
Now we can’t officially, scientifically confirm this sentiment much beyond the size of the Cowboys cheerleaders’…hair. But we figured that when we made our debut in the state, we had to go huge or else go home.
Well, we’re not going home…
Welcome to UrbanDaddy Dallas, your new guide to the latest and greatest in what’s happening in the Big D.
In a town built on oil, hard work and Roger Staubach’s grit, our hats are overflowing with 10 gallons’ worth of cutting-edge scoops. Once a day, you’ll get a quick tip from us about the coolest thing happening right now in the Big D–a secret whiskey saloon in West Village, great new BBQ in Deep Ellum or the next place Tony Romo will be spotted with a young starlet.
It’s the kind of critical, need-to-know information on about-to-open nightspots, sexy dinner date options and the occasional members-only BBQ pit that could get a person killed back in the oil-prospecting days.
And is now only slightly less dangerous.
That’s the way people in New York see Dallas: like it’s 1973. They don’t understand that people in Dallas now think of Staubach as a businessman as much as a former football player. A “secret whiskey saloon”? Seriously? References to 10-gallon hats? Really? And it might be “the Big Apple,” but around these here parts, we call it simply “Big D,” no article needed.
Good luck, pardners!
