Just as an update to this great guide, Uptown (NW 23rd Street) has had a lot of new development in the past year and deserves a highlight section of its own:

- Tucker’s Onion Burgers is on 23rd & Hudson and has the best fries and chocolate shakes (as well as great onion burgers with fresh, locally-sourced beef).
- Cheever’s is fantastic as always, just across the street from Tucker’s. One of the best restaurants in OKC.
- As mentioned in the guide, Big Truck Tacos and Cuppies & Joe (must try the Sassafras cupcake!).
- Mutt’s Famous Hot Dogs is on 23rd & Douglas, just past Classen. Great specialty hot dogs and a fun atmosphere.
- Cafe Antigua is just south of 23rd on 18th & Classen. It is a Guatemalan place with the best brunch/breakfast menu around. The migas are crazy good!

A new addition to Midtown is Elemental Coffee (http://www.elementalcoffeeroasters.com/) on 8th & Hudson. Elemental is a local roaster/coffee distributor that just opened their own coffee shop. The coffee is superb and the staff is super friendly. The last Friday of every month, the parking lot is home to h&8th, a night time food market with lots of great local food trucks & locally brewed COOP beer.

I grew up in Oklahoma and I am so very proud to see “the city” finally getting all the recognition it deserves!

I went to school at OU in Norman, just 30 minutes south of the city and they too have some wonderful places to visit – Cafe Plaid (try the plaid chicken sandwich and one of their freshly baked cookies), La Luna (fantastic outdoor patio, great margaritas), Antique Garden (adorable clothes, jewelry, and household decor, along with some locally-crafted items), Cayman’s (higher end clothing and accessories), the Mont (the Sooner Swirl is a legend), and Tarahumara’s (best Mexican food I’ve ever had), just to name a few!

I love that Oklahoma City has a good shopping guide out there. I would like to add that since this has been written I opened a local boutique. We are called “wild.flower”, and we are located right alongside Mister Rabbit and Cuppies and Joe. We offer an eclectic take on women’s clothing, gifts, home decor, stationary, and more. Please don’t forget us when you visit OKC!!!

So glad to see OKC in the list, i’m a Panamanian that now calls Norman home sweet home, and its awesome to see that D*S has OKC in their list, a lot of people think we are a hick town, but it is oh so the contrary.

After you visit OKC, everybody should visit Norman, which btw was named best small city to live in by CNN. Norman has some delicious eateries like Pink Elephant & Earth Natural Foods (for organic food), Pepe’s (excellent tex-mex), Cafe Plaid (delicious deli & pastries), Moniques (excellent Latin American food) & for sweets we have Passionberry. We also have the Fred Jones Art Museum & the Sam Noble Natural History Museum that have the awesomest museum shops.

When you are checking out Midtown visit Nault Fine Art across the street from McNellies on Walker. It is a New York walk up style contemporary art and African tribal art gallery. Fabulous!

Don’t forget the Oklahoma History Center, great for visitors to learn about our state and city’s rich and diverse history and for locals to enjoy special exhibits and numerious special events! Located on 23rd and Lincoln with a breathtaking view of the state capital, it has one of the best views in town!
