Hey, tons of alleys in old Dallas. Deep Ellum would probably have half the available parking it does now without them.
Lots of alleys in Back Bay Boston, running parallel to the avenues. It’s where people have entrances to garages to park their cars, and where they keep the trash
Manhattan also has MacDougal Alley, forever memorialized in On the Town as “a charming thoroughfare in the heart of Green-Witch Village.”
“Gimme a beer.”
This is the kind of phrase you see in bars on TV and movies, but in real life is rarely used. At a bar, you need to be a bit more specific than this.
Of course the classic interpretation of this is “Repo Man”, where people drink cans of “Beer” and eat from cans of “Food”.
Tuna or egg salad? 
Most of the city doesn’t have alleys in the sense of NYC or old movies. What we do have in spades is “King of the Hill” style alleys in residential neighborhoods.
The only parts of Dallas that have those older built-up alleys are the oldest parts of town that haven’t been razed and rebuilt- Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, etc…

Exactly. Except the non-Christmas ones aren’t really any better.
You should watch A Christmas Prince. You’d have a field day.
It would make a great drinking game for rom-com cliches but you’d be under the table in the first twenty minutes.

Amber wanders her way into the palace and somehow gets mistaken as a new math tutor for Princess Emily, who is wheelchair-bound. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but the rest of the story, as the Twitter-sphere has chronicled, is a grab bag of various made-for-TV plot elements, including but not limited to: adoption, an attempted coup, a snowball fight, a wolf, poetry, a coronation/Christmas ball, a hidden birth certificate, and a New York City diner.
