I love most everything OKC, the area, the people, the food, the general calm the state of Oklahoma brings me. It's one of my favorite places, I just love the feel. Quite underappreciated in my experience so hopefully we can change that a bit.

Local To Do's.
A general list of an assortment of other things OKC. I haven't hit nearly all of them that I have on my own list, but can at least vouch for these. Maybe I need a list of want to go to recs for myself?
Breathtaking. Whether you're familiar with the Oklahoma City bombing or are about to be, it is worth your time. Unsure if local fav is appropriate, or outdoor rec, but there's also indoor.. in any case, it's worth the stop.
Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
Okay so technically Edmond; however, I have driven hours to go back to this for a massage. The lymphatic drainage massage is seriously unmatched. I would go again and again if I had the time. And in the in-between while I don't, I think of it often a...
Perfection Spa
I have not been in ages but maybe that's even more of a testament to my recommendation. We went and I have been meaning to get back there and to take the kids.
Blue Zoo Aquarium Oklahoma City
Restaurants
We are actively trying to avoid being the, eats out all the time, type of dinner time family; however, when it's called for..
I happened to be privvy to one of the locations opening and let me say they were so delicious that I ended up getting a group of friend together to drive back down one Friday just for Velvet Taco, eat and extras to bring home, and drive back same day...
Velvet Taco
Some of the absolute best pizza I have ever had, again, worth going back to the city just for this. The black crust was wild but incredible. Anyone who visited I was taking them there for pizza before they left for sure.
Eastside Pizza House
The birria tacos. That's it. That's the whole rec. I've never tried anything that wasn't good here. And the atmosphere is top tier. The patio is great. Just good vibes all around.
Ted's Tacos and Cantina
The first time I had this was down here, and it is so dang good I am so glad it wasn't a one off. An unsung hero in the quick dinner category; get a bowl, get everything, proceed to eat it for three meals, with the benefit of not even feeling miserab...
Multiple restaurants.
Been awhile but our favorite was for sure..
Fried Tacos - tried Irish Brisket 10/10 and Nashville Hot Chicken 8/10 HOT
The Collective Kitchens and Cocktails
Other Food & Drinks
Not quite a meal, but still worth hitting up for the bevs or whatever they do have. Or a snack or a T-shirt. Whatever you might think you need.
Who doesn't love coffee, and BRC does it right from every angle. Great coffee, great experience. They are super helpful and friendly, veteran owned, and so delicious.
Black Rifle Coffee Company
If you like tea, there is everything to love here. So many different flavors and options to mix and combine or sip a standard favorite alone. I always leave with the drink I intended and a couple extras by the gallon.

Update-- it closed. If anyone hears anything about another of the sort opening, let me know!
This was such a fun time. Fun for the dogs, fun for us, good time all around and more should exist. Nothing better than getting out of the house for food an...
