There's a Velvet Hookah in Addison too, now.
I've been visiting the shops in Richardson on Beltline Road.  There's Jasmine Café and Grocery ($5.99 to smoke a hookah there) and there's another café just east of Greeville Ave that used to be a Braum's.  You can almost always find somebody with a hookah at either one.
