Where The Past Meets The Now In Old East Dallas

Old East Dallas was a city back then but was annexed into Dallas in 1890. Since then, businessmen and innovators came and occupied the shabby warehouses. These turned into venues where people of different backgrounds came together, such as clubs and other social scenes. Today, it is a vibrant community surrounded by several neighborhoods in the east of Dallas, Texas. It holds historical houses like the Aldredge House, which is now a museum with antique furnishings. 

Despite its name, Old East Dallas is where various cultures meet and blend harmoniously. The rich culture is evident in the display of street art in the Deep Ellum district, the renowned craft breweries, and trendy burger spots.

One thing Old East Dallas is famous for is its food and dining, which offers a variety of palatable options.

The store opens at noon and closes at 9:00 PM, with a late closing time on Fridays and Saturdays. Ngon Vietnamese Kitchen is at 1907 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206.
