Best Night Out
The Shops at Legacy
5741 Legacy Drive, Plano, TX 75024
Before there was Legacy West, there were The Shops at Legacy. Developer Fehmi Karahan made his name with The Shops, and even after all these years, it’s still easy to see why: they’re a great night out. Catch a movie at the Angelika, eat at Craft & Vine or Sakhuu Thai, grab a pint at Ringo’s Pub, sip wine at CRÚ, play video games at Farm + Feed, listen to standup at The Plano House of Comedy or dance the night away at Sambuca 360. The night is still young.
Readers’ Choice: Legacy West
5905 Legacy Drive, Plano, TX 75024
Eating and drinking? Shopping? Selfies? Legacy West is a good time, anytime, but our readers picked it for the best night out.
“Legacy West for dinner and shopping and walking around. A fun atmosphere with cool photo ops year round.” — Hannah B.
