Easily my favorite pizza shop in OKC! Their slices are HUGE and they've got an excellent craft beer selection. Check their website for their slices of the day if you just want a quick bite or bring friends if you want to order a whole pizza!
My Personal Favorite slices: Pepperoni, Fungus Among Us, Ghostface Killah, Uncle Buck and Teflon Don

THE BEST Ramen in OKC. Seems a little out of place huh? The founder of this restaurant spent several years in Japan learning the secrets to good Ramen and we are thankful he decided to grow roots in OKC! All the ramen is excellent but be sure to ask about their off-menu fried rice combos ( I recommend the Chashu don style)

This Latin American restaurants is one of the top brunch spots in OKC. It fills up quick and they don't take reservations but they will let you get on the waitlist through the Yelp app (Highly recommended to avoid an hour+ wait). From sweet to savory, they've got it all. If you just can't in here, don't overlook their sister restaurant, Cafe Antigua, that is owned by the same family.

A little farther north, this lounge is the perfect spot for a unique cocktail as well as some amazing local dishes you won't find anywhere else. A few of the dishes actually came straight from the recipe book of the owner's grandmother. I LOVE the Quail Knots as well as the Bone-in Pork Chop. Definitely call ahead they tend to get busy quick on weekends.

Activities
The Devon Boathouse is a great destination for the adventurer. Located just a few blocks from the heart of downtown, the boathouse is the home to a US Olympic rowing training facility. The best part is they've got activities for all ages and skillsets including: ropes course on the edge of the river, a zipline that goes all the way across, kayak and paddleboard rentals and a guided rapids course that can reach stage 5 simulated rapids (seriously, not a leisurely boat ride).

A hot new addition to the city that just opened up in 2019! This outdoor park frequently hosts an outdoor farmers market that is a fun place to take a stroll and check out some local products from fresh baked bread to quirky star wars artwork. Occasionally concerts are hosted in their pavilion as well but there is almost always some sort of live music during events.
