Seeing Ghosts

How cute are these friendly ghosts (not to mention the guy in the middle)? It's the Big D's most fabulous night spot called the Ghost Bar and the only thing haunting the top of the W hotel is loud music and a drop-dead gorgeous wait staff. These girls could give Heather Graham's shagadelic figure a run for her money and I'm a straight chick admitting this!

The "ghostdeck," is a 100-square-foot deck enclosed in glass on the 33rd floor overlooking all of downtown Dallas. The panoramic views are the best in the city or, at least, that's what some of the locals told me tonight. The cocktails and seats aren't cheap but the atmosphere is worth coughing up the extra Dallas dollar if you intend to see and be seen. The bar sits inside and on top of the W Dallas hotel.

Surprisingly, music from the late great 80's, many British and dance pop favorites, set the rhythm of the place in motion and had me tapping my toes for more decibels. Nothing could beat the views though and, despite the chilly breeze and lack of music, the glass balcony is where I wanted to stay.

The W Hotel stands tall with a bright blue beacon shining from atop. It's impossible not to find and only steps away from a chic living room and glowing glass wall with spanking new HD monitors and signature restaurants. I couldn't afford this posh piece of heaven but other fortunate friends can and are having the time of their lives.

We ate pan-asian sushi at Kenichi, one of the 4 hippest world class establishments I've ever laid foot in. We started with pan-seared Kobe-pork dumplings licking our chops through spicy hot edamame, 4 platters of sushi, sashimi and of course, not to be outdone by boat loads of saki. Like I said, the eating is always good in the Big D as is the entertainment!
