Food Scene
Small restaurant, outdoor seating available. Watch chefs work from behind the bar. My favorite dish: chashudon with gyoza, a side of bacon-wrapped quail eggs and sparkling sake. Great times are early afternoon/evening.

Buffet. Beignets. Lousiana-style comfort food.
The ONLY buffet from which I will eat and not think bad thoughts.
Payment due upon entry. Give the cashier your drink order, grab a table and get some gumbo!
Never had to wait in line, have been various times during the afternoon/evening.

Unbelievable selection of baked goodies and hands-down the best macaroon I've ever tasted. Down-home German food, deli, bar.
Live music on occasion. And - they serve breakfast!
Call in or order online. I recommend no. 32 with spicy mustard. Delicious!

Seaweed salad.
Go wild and order a dragon boat. Nice beer/wine/sake selection.
Watch chefs from the bar or select a booth. Cozy environment. Popular place, so get there early evening or make reservations.

Red leather heaven. Swankiest supper club in OKC. Dine in style, then pop over to Junior's night club for the best martini in town. Live music every weekend with solid house band and occasional guests. Grab a partner and hit the dance floor! Or if you have two left feet, grab a corner booth and pretend you're Don Corleone.

Permanent exhibits are terrific. Walking exhibits take you through different eras in Oklahoma history.
Pretty much any museum - and there are plenty here- will be a worthwhile afternoon.

Sightseeing
High atop the Chesapeake Energy Building is the restaurant/bar Vast. Fine dining, extensive drink menu, and by far the best view of Oklahoma County without having wings. Outstanding at sunset, especially on a partly cloudy day.

From Wanda Jackson Way to Flaming Lips Alley folks come to Bricktown for entertainment. Watch an OKC Dodgers game, have dinner at Mickey Mantles or Crabtown, sample live music at JJ's Alley and ACM music hall, ride in a horse-drawn carriage or float on a water taxi. There's something for everyone here.
