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
Inspired by the scissor-tailed flycatcher, the new 380-foot long Skydance Bridge connects downtown pedestrians to the OK River.

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.

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.

SHOPPINGSHOPPING
For over 50 years, family-owned Suburban Contemporary Furnishings has strived to be the very best contemporary furniture and accessory specialist in Oklahoma. Along the way, they’ve gained a reputation for excellent customer service and established themselves as Oklahoma’s premier contemporary furnishings showroom.
Suburban provides a unique and painless shopping experience for out-of-town visitors. Their contemporary showroom, the larg-est in the state, provides an opportunity to see and touch before you buy. Wondering how to get it home? Suburban routinely delivers throughout Oklahoma and its bordering states. Special delivery arrangements outside of this area are also available.
The Conventioner caught up with Brandon Burt who, along with his brother Jeremy, represents the next generation of Suburban leadership. We wanted to get their take on how the renewed focus on urban living in OKC’s downtown has affected their business and what’s so great about working with family.
OKCC: How has Oklahoma City’s recent urban resurgence im-pacted the demand you’ve seen for modern and contemporary furnishings?
35 S/F 2012 | OKCCONVENTIONER.COM |
SHOPPING
Burt: As our city changes, we’ve seen a major shift in style choices and furnishing preferences. For the last few years we’ve seen a constant rise in interest in the contemporary fur-nishings we’ve always sold. People want cleaner looks, exciting styles and brighter colors to go along with the more modern homes and businesses that are starting to go up all over our great state.
OKCC: What keys to success have you learned over the years?
Burt: Customer service, customer service and customer service. This has been the biggest key for our success over the years along with a high quality and customizable selection of contemporary furnishings and the most helpful and knowledge-able sales staff in Oklahoma.

renovated downtown along Main St. where you’ll find an
eccentric collection of locally owned galleries, pubs and
restaurants. If you crave higher stakes action, Riverwind Casino (see pg. 19) should be your destination. Norman
