EATS 2013

Within walking distance from UTA and less than a mile
from both Cowboys Stadium and the Rangers Ballpark,
downtown Arlington is growing each year and
becoming a hot spot for
locals and visitors alike.
While offering restaurants,
retailers, spas and much
more, the area is quickly
gaining a reputation as a
smaller version of Austin.
Arlington was founded
in 1875 on the Texas and
Pacific Railway as a market
town for surrounding farms.
Originally named Hayter,
the city was re-named in
1877 after General Robert
E. Lee’s Arlington House (in
present-day Arlington County, Virginia).
Arlington is in the middle of the metropolitan area,
halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth and just eight
miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. Arlington has
experienced rapid growth since 1970, with more than
356,000 people now calling Arlington home. The city
also welcomes more than 6.5 million visitors annually.
Within the last several
years, the family friendly
downtown area has expanded
rapidly with several
new restaurants and
businesses providing ample
entertainment and
shopping opportunities.
The city of Arlington
is working on a plan to
keep adding to the beauty
of the area and will continue
to make improvements
during the next few
years. With Levitt Pavilion,
Six Flags, Arlington Music Hall, Cowboys Stadium, and
The Ballpark at Arlington all within a two mile radius of
each other, there are always new faces enjoying the
area along with UTA students and local residents. Go
check it out.
