No car?!
The location of your hotel....well, if you like crossing freeways to get to Benihana then you got the perfect place. The hotels in that area are right in the gap between the good places. Avoid the taxis that troll the area, all of the drivers are OU graduates, can't read maps and are recent arrivals in Dallas.
Wednesday night would work best for me, it's the one night a week I'm not in school. None of the others seem to have social lives, so I bet they'll just jump at this chance to get out.
Since you don't have a car, I would suggest riding with ETH. His vehicle has lots of room, usually. ETH has also perfected the art of collision avoidance, whereas someone like LT still collides with apartment buildings.
Just let us know what kind of place you'd like to go to. As ETH mentioned, there is always The Lodge. It's full of wonderfully beautiful ladies, all of them very charming, and no, they do not want to leave Dallas. But, closeby there are Brazillian, Mongolian, Italian and just about any other restaurant you could imagine.
