Cattlemen's Steakhouse
OKC's most storied restaurant, this Stockyards City institution has been feeding cowpokes and city slickers slabs of beef and lamb's fries (that's a polite way of saying gonads) since 1910. Deals are still cut at the counter and back in the luxe booths.

Galileo
This funky Paseo Arts District gathering spot has a menu spanning sea bass baked with lemon and cinnamon to meatloaf sandwiches to some tasty pizzas and it attracts just as diverse a crowd. There's art on the walls and the bar itself is a thing of beauty. Music or poetry most nights.

National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum covers both art and history. Even if you come for just one, you're sure to be enthralled by the other. The excellent collection of Western painting and sculpture features many works by Charles M Russell and Frederic Remington while the historical galleries range from barbed wire to rodeos to cowboy hats.

Symbolic Memorial
The outdoor Symbolic Memorial has 168 empty chair sculptures for each of the people killed in the attack (the 19 small ones are for the children who perished in the day care center). It's next to a reflecting pool in the former building's footprint. People tie simple yet heart-breaking memorials to the fence on Harvey St.

TapWerks
Bad at making decisions? Then don't come here. This comfy place in Bricktown serves over 150 bottled beers and has another 100 on tap. The food's not bad either and there's live music on weekends.

Paseo Grill
On a balmy night (common in OKC) the patio at this southwestern restaurant is the place to be. Blackened steaks and seafood and fresh treats like gazpacho keep people returning again and again.
