Alton Brown has declared Arbolada’s double cheeseburger the best in America, so what else do you need to know? We love this small, friendly bar just one block south of us.

We probably eat here way too much, but they serve much more than pizza. If you’re lucky, they’ll be serving their cabbage rolls, best we’ve ever had. Just a couple of blocks south of the condo.

Full disclosure, a friend owns this excellent taproom with interesting beer, friendly staff and a small but comfy space. Under the Sunshine Laundry sign on Classen Blvd.

Yep, it's a diner, a really good one. Coffee, cinnamon rolls, mimosas, friendly staff and outdoor tables if the weather is decent.

Patrono is our choice for a more upscale, romantic kind of meal. Excellent Italian food, well prepared. Go for lunch or dinner.

There's usually fun stuff happening at the Gardens on the weekend, and it's a nice walk. We're excited for the Crystal Bridge indoor botanic garden to re-open again this fall after a complete remodel.

Besides being a hotel, the first floor has an amazing art museum open to the public, with a rotating collection of contemporary art. The building itself has lots of history, and they have just reopened their restaurant, Mary Eddy's.

We enjoy strolling around the neighborhood and see something new every time. Great architecture, old and new; interesting history around Film Row just south of us; two art museums (OKC MOA and 21 C Hotel); and the Civic Center across the street.

If the OKC Dodgers are playing in town, take the trolley over to Bricktown, grab a hot dog and enjoy some baseball. Easy way to entertain the kids!

This new museum is well worth your time. Conceived, executed and largely funded by Native Americans, it offers a vibrant and honest view of their history and contributions to our country. They have all kinds of cool special events happening, and a unique restaurant onsite. It's my #1 pick for "don't miss while you're here!"

Once you've toured the First Americans Museum, head up north to the Cowboy Museum to complete your picture of Oklahoma and the Wild West. You may be surprised by the excellent art collection!

We're Roots music fans, and the Arcadia Round Barn has weekend jams that offer easy listening to some great local acts. The barn itself is iconic and fun to explore, and the Pops Museum is right down the road.

This 1928 building is still housing a Saturday Farmer's Market that's a fun way to pick up local veggies and other food stuff. Sample your way through the hall and meet some folks! There's also an enormous Antique mall to wind your way through next door.

Frida's is our favorite restaurant in the state, whether you go for brunch or dinner. I could write a string of superlatives, but if you'd like a new take on Mexican/Southwest cuisine, just go!

Good luck getting a table, but it is SO worth the wait! This unassuming Guatemalan restaurant on Classen Blvd. has the BEST breakfasts around, and their coffee drinks are epic.

Zorba's has been here forever, there's nothing trendy about it, but their food is just the best, from gyro plates to Moroccan chicken. We always have to take half our food home, so it's two meals for one.

LATE NIGHT pick: It can be hard to find a decent meal late nights in OKC! If you leave the movie or ball game hungry, head to RJs. It's a small, funky bar with a surprising menu and a big patio area.

Palo Santo serves the best cocktails in town, especially if you like Mezcal. It's cool and laid back, just north of the old Farmer's Market building a few blocks southwest of the condo.
