FALL / WINTER 2012


As publishers of the Oklahoma City Conventioner, allow us to ex-tend our welcome to OKC! We hope we can provide a glimpse of the diversity Oklahoma has to offer. We have everything you would expect in a major city...world class hotels, professional sports, full gaming casinos and race track, a zoo, historic museums, live music and theater.

What you might not expect will be the taste of a uniquely rich cul-tural heritage formed from the red earth so abundant in Oklahoma. Historic Bricktown and the Western Heritage Museums will take you back to the Land Run Era of the Wild West via walking trails, water taxi, or on a river cruise up the rechanneled Oklahoma River. The Classen Curve area offers upscale dining and shopping against a uniquely modern backdrop.

As OKC residents and business owners for over 36 years, we are eager to show you “our town.” We know you will enjoy the casual atmosphere and friendly people of OKC and find the dining, enter-tainment and shopping second to none.

If you have any questions or need extra copies of the Oklahoma City Conventioner, don’t hesitate to call our office at 405.249.7097.

We hope you enjoy your visit and invite you to re-turn soon!

Sincerely,

The Matlock Family

Cattlemen’s SteakhouseCattlemen’s is the real deal, located in the heart of Stockyards City and currently the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Oklahoma City. The atmosphere is what you want in a good steakhouse: low-lit leather booths, dark wood and sprawling western landscapes on the walls. The steaks are dry aged and seared at high heat over a charcoal fire. They pair well with the house salad dressing and a big, yeasty dinner roll. The chicken fried steak is also excellent. Cattlemen’s has a great banquet facility and can host your group event for up to 120 guests.

Don’t leave without ordering a slice of homemade pie for dessert.

Since the 2008 arrival of our new NBA franchise the OKC Thunder, the level of excitement downtown on game nights has skyrocketed. The NBA isn’t the only game in town, though. OKC has several success-ful sports franchises that can provide an exciting evening on the town.

SPORTSSPORTS

BASKETBALL

The major sports buzz around OKC these days is around

NBA’s young Western Conference powerhouse, the Okla-

homa City Thunder (thunder.nba.com). The hype is justi-

fied. All Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and the

talented role players around them are a joy to watch live.

The team’s home court in the Chesapeake Energy Arena

has earned its “Loud City” moniker. When the Thunder is

rolling, there’s no other place you’d want to be. Check the

Thunder Schedule on p. 42 or visit their website for game

times and ticket information.


A bronze sculpture of Oklahoma-born Mickey Mantle stands outside the Chicksaw Bricktown Ballpark.

The energy inside Chesapeake Arena during Thunder home games is unrivaled.

HOCKEY

The OKC Barons (okcbarons.com) play their hockey in the

Cox Convention Center. The Barons are the top AHL af-

filiate to the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers and rank among the

leaders of the AHL’s Western Conference. If you haven’t

experienced live hockey, you owe it to yourself to check out

a game. Tickets start at $14 and can be purchased through

Ticketmaster outlets or the team’s box office at the Cox

Convention Center.

BASEBALL

The Oklahoma City Redhawks (oklahomaredhawks.com)

occupy the nationally renowned Redhawks Field at Brick-

town. The Redhawks play in the Pacific Coast League as

the Houston Astro’s AAA affiliate. Redhawks Field offers

everything you love about the ballpark experience with

tickets starting at $11. Visit the Redhawks website to pur-

chase tickets or visit the ticket of fice at Redhawks Field at

Bricktown.


Your entertainment options aren’t limited to gambling,

though. Each of the casinos below features several dining

and nightlife options and frequently host big name musical

and comedy acts.

CULTURECULTURE

The widespread rejuvenation initia-tives around downtown Oklahoma City in recent years have brought with it a resurgence of interest in the arts and the venues in which they’re housed. Take some time between meetings to explore our diverse cultural offerings.

Oklahoma City National Memorial & MuseumThe Memorial features a museum and monument erected in remembrance of the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Open 24/7, the Outdoor Symbolic Me-morial is a powerful place as night falls and the Field of Empty Chairs begin to glow. Take some time to walk the grounds and contemplate how hope rose from such a horrific event.

A free guided video tour is available by search-ing iTunes or YouTube for “Outdoor Symbolic Memorial Walking Tour” on your smartphone (length = 17:56).

The newly updated interior of the Museum Café is an excellent lunch or dinner option as well.

A bronze sculpture of Oklahoma-born Mickey Mantle stands outside the Chicksaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Automobile Alley is an upscale urban shopping and enter-

tainment district just north of downtown on Broadway Ave.

Formerly home to the lion’s share of Oklahoma City’s auto

dealerships, the district is in the midst of a renaissance

with hip new restaurants, retailers and galleries popping

up everywhere. Take a walk down Broadway and it’s hard

to miss the explosion of color adorning the facade of the

Womb Gallery (@WombGallery), the psychedelic art gal-

lery curated by Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips. Good

times radiate from this epicenter on NW 9th with S&B’s

Burger Joint (sandbburgersokc.com), Iguana Mexican Grill

(iguanamexicangrill.com), fresh sushi at Pachinko Parlor

(pachinkoparlorokc.com) and some of the most wearable

Thunder t-shir ts around at Shop Good (shopgoodokc.com)

all within a stone’s throw from each other. Keep exploring

Broadway to find Hideaway Pizza (hideawaypizza.com), up-

scale RED Primesteak (redprimesteak.com) & Coffee Sling-

ers (coffeeslingers.com), all highly recommended. Reaching

Automobile Alley from downtown couldn’t be easier with a

Spokies bike share kiosk (see pg. 31) at Broadway & NW

9th St.

Nonna’s Euro-American Ristorante and Bar occupies 22,000

square feet of upscale space in a repurposed turn of the cen-

tury warehouse. It’s location in the heart of Bricktown is within

walking distance of the Cox Convention Center and surround-

ing hotels and provides an excellent starting point for a night on

the town or before a Thunder game.

One of the many things we love about Nonna’s is their un-

compromising commitment to quality. Owner Avis Scaramucci

is tireless in her efforts to obtain first rate ingredients for the

menu. Case in point: Cedar Spring Farms, a state-of-the-art

hydroponic growing facility dedicated to keeping the freshest

tomatoes, peppers, herbs and microgreens on Nonna’s plates.

The menu showcases these ingredients with honest takes on

American and European classics. The seafood selections and

certified Angus steaks cooked over applewood flame pair well

with Nonna’s award-winning wine list. The breadth of the menu

is impressive, including many gluten free and vegetarian options.

Chef’s Room featuring Nonna’s great foods and Painted Door gift items.

crafted cocktails, beers and an extensive wine list compliment

Bar’s daily happy hour and live music on Friday and Saturday

evenings make it the perfect spot to close out your day.

You’re sure to find something you love at Nonna’s, whether it’s
