The Knox-Henerson area is located 3 – 4 miles north of downtown Dallas on Central Expressway (US-75).  The Knox-Henderson area spans from the Katy Trail to the end of Fire Side Pies.  The area is best known for shops, trendy restaurants, galleries, and private clubs/bars.  There is also a large SMU presence in the area since the school is only a couple blocks north of Knox-Henderson.

There are several great bars and restaurants in the area such as the Old Monk, Cuba Libre, Fireside Pies, and Samba Room.
