A sometimes baffling, always exciting combination of cowboys and haute couture, Dallas is
one of the economic powerhouses of the United States. A dizzying number of businesses
make their headquarters in Dallas, including ExxonMobil (one of the most profitable
companies in the world), Texas Instruments, Kimberly-Clark and many telecommunications
companies. Dallas has four times as many restaurants per person as New York and a
cultural scene that demands to be taken seriously.
