Visit Addison's New Year's Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions seem to never last, but what if they were something you really wanted to do? This year we said “New Year, New Me!” and have gathered 10 resolutions to get you out all over Town.

1. Eat at every Addison Restaurant

We are using the dining guide to keep track of everywhere we have eaten! Mark it off and brag on social with #addisoneats when you check off a new restaurant. Whether you start on one side of Town and work your way around or jump all over the map, Addison’s 200+ restaurants have more than enough to keep you coming back for more.

2. Try Something New

Addison is home to top experiences. Check out VR gaming at Zero Latency to really get in the game. Play a round at Puttshack for a top-of-the-line entertainment experience complete with the Addison exclusive Challenge Holes. 

3. Lean into Your Artsy Side

Did you know that Addison has more art per capita than any city in the U.S.? See them all (or just a few) on a self-guided public art tour through Addison, complete with notes from the artists on the Otocast app on Apple or Android.

4. Laugh Harder

Addison is home to two comedy clubs: TK’s Comedy and the Addison Improv. TK’s is home to an intimate comedy theatre, dining room, and a hidden speakeasy! Head over for dinner and a show, or to one of their great events. Laugh, sip, and dine in this upscale venue. Many legends have graced the stage at Addison Improv. Discover national acts, up-and-coming talent, and incredible shows all in the classic comedy club environment.

5. Find your Third Place

As the world has gone digital, we have lost our third place, a public space to connect with others outside of work or home. Addison is full of hidden neighborhood spots. Get some fresh air in Addison Circle Park, with coffee, snacks, treats, and even happy hour sips at Java and Hopps in the pavilion. It’s a great place to meet up with friends, meet new people, and just get outside.

6. Stay up later

Addison has a booming nightlife including dancing, themed events, and so much more. Want to just hang out? Many of our restaurants are open after midnight serving up treats and libations.

Salsa Dancing at Gloria’s Latin Cuisine – Get down every Saturday night to live Latin music and a resident DJ. This upscale salsa dancing spot is a great place to get dressed up and hit the town!

Bollywood Night at Al Amir – Every Friday night is a party at Al Amir with belly dancers and Bollywood beats, this international party is the place to be to make memories.

Sidecar Social – Game on! Sidecar Social is full of games like darts, basketball hoops, shuffle board, and more to flex your competitive side. Check out their pages for karaoke nights, events, and more.

7. Fine Tune Your Taste Buds

Learn to pair different beer, wine, and spirits at a pairing dinner.

Lazy Dog Beer Pairing Dinners – These quarterly events feature four craft brews paired with a four-course meal!

Cantina Laredo Tequila Pairing Dinners – Experience Tequila like never before at these quarterly pairing dinners featuring a different Tequila every time. Try a four-course meal, with flights of tequila, cocktails and lessons from the chef.
