Things to do and places to eat around Tulsa
I've decided to make this a sticky for people visiting the Tulsa forums since I'm often reposting this material for newcomers. Please feel free to add to these or comment.
Things to do: Lots of recreational choices, as Tulsa is near the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and there are lots and lots of large, beautiful lakes in Northeastern Oklahoma (such as Lake Keystone, which is only 20 miles West of Tulsa), Skiatook Lake, Grand Lake (if you really want a treat) as well as hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking in the many hills (even within city limits, like on Turkey Mountain, rock-climbing in Chandler Park), joining the Tulsa Rowing Club, or even the Tulsa Rugby Club. The Riverparks are a beautiful system of jogging, biking, and walking trails that run alongside the Arkansas River from downtown all the way to Jenks. There was recently a multi-million dollar donation by one of the local Philanthropists to revamp this area and include separate areas along these trails for bikes and pedestrians, in addition to other amenities. Vision2025 is a whole new package voted in by the citizens of Tulsa to build a variety of attractions such as the new iconic BOK Center downtown, infrastructure improvements to roads and trails, and a host of other amenities for Tulsa now and in the future. Oh, there's also a floating stage and amphitheater along the Riverparks that is fun to attend on a nice, summer evening. If you're into art, the Philbrook and Gilcrease museums are both fantastic, world class institutions. Spots to hang out include Brookside, the Blue Dome District, Cherry Street, and Central Park (with their new urban condos near downtown). The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame is in downtown Tulsa as well. Then, there's Cain's Ballroom, a legendary venue for concerts and of course, the historic Brady Theater, affectionately called "The Old Lady on Brady." Check out the Wikipedia article on Cain's as well. The 2007 PGA Championship is also going to be held in Tulsa at Southern Hills Country Club for a record fourth time this August. If you're into Oktoberfest, Tulsa's Oktoberfest has been consistently ranked in the top ten Oktoberfests in the entire country (if not even the world). In fact, it was ranked number 2. Quote from article: "It's a surprising spot for Oktoberfest, but there are few cities that host a better German festival than Tulsa. In fact, Bon Appetit magazine calls it one of the top German food festivals in the U.S. and USA Today included the city in its list of Top 10 places in the world to celebrate Oktoberfest." I know I sound like a chamber of commerce recording. In fact, I've been accused of that before but Tulsa is one of my favorite places (and I don't even live there, but did at one time - want to move back soooo badly). Do your own research and visit when you can. I think you'll be surprised by what Tulsa has to offer. Good luck! Places to eat: Some great places to eat in Tulsa and the surrounding areas. Full Moon Cafe on Cherry Street. Elmer's BBQ In the Raw (sushi/seafood) Jazmoz Bourbon Street Cafe (meals and nightly entertainment) Kal's Chop House The Chalkboard (European) McGill's (Prime Rib, Steak, Seafood) The Bistro at Seville Cardigan's Cafe Ole' (Homestyle cooking) Michael V's Wildfork (Breakfast at Utica Square) Camille's Sidewalk Cafe (Quick Lunches) Hideaway Pizza Kokoa Chocolatier (Desserts) Freckles Frozen Custard (Deserts) McNellie's (Pub) Los Cabos Cantina and Bar Vintage 1740 Wine Bar French Hen (Fine Dining) Biga Vino & Cucina (Italian) Palace Cafe (Nouveau American Quisine) Lolas at the Bowery (Spanish Tapas) Tsunami Sushi and Asian Bistro Kilkenny's Authentic Irish Pub Lanna Thai Restaurant Garlic Rose Fuji Sushi Memories of Japan India Palace Ri Le (Vietnamese) 4932 E. 91st Street Pare Foods Dawson's Market Wild Oats Lambrusco'z Enjoy!

Russian Food - Church Fundraising Dinner
Hello everyone.
If you have not seen a "Little Moscow" in Tulsa so this is a great opportunity to try some Russian food, get some culture and help us out. February 23, 2008 - Broken Arrow All of the details are at Building Completion Fundraiser If you plan to come please buy a ticket, as seating is limited and we need a head count as it is important to cut costs at these type of events. Since this is a 1 time event, I have a reminder to delete this post after it is done. Last edited by Synopsis; 02-06-2008 at 07:30 AM. Reason: Web link did not come out right.

Coffee & Crepe Place in Downtown Tulsa - Try it!
Topeca Coffee AKA Cafe de El Salvador serves stellar coffee, lunch fare, snacks and treats weekdays from 6:30am - 5 pm (not weekends) in downtown Tulsa.
The best thing about Topeca is that they serve crepes made to order! Try a savory crepe for lunch (ham and cheese) or something sweet (nutella with strawberries). They also serve single-origin coffee from a San Salvador plantation run by the owner's in-laws, hence the "Seed to Cup" tagline. Located in the ground floor of the Mayo Hotel at the northeast corner of 5th/Cheyenne. 115 West 5th Street Suite 169 Tulsa, OK 74103 Tel: 918-398-8022 Welcome to Topeca Last edited by Synopsis; 02-06-2008 at 07:32 AM.

Thanks for the post, Bliskavka. I wish there were something like this in OKC. I like the borsch and Russian style cabbage rolls.
