4. BRICKTOWN BOAT RIDE

There is something romantic about taking a boat ride along the water, akin to the Venice canals (okay–maybe not THAT romantic). Experience the sights and sounds of Bricktown from a unique perspective, floating down the Bricktown Canal, while points of interests are narrated along the way. Then head for a nightcap at one of Bricktown’s many bars and pubs.

7. FIRST FRIDAY GALLERY ART WALK

Each First Friday of the month, The historic Paseo Arts District offers special themed exhibits, refreshments, and guest artists. Dozens of galleries, three restaurants and a handful of shops stand in distinctive Spanish Mission Revival style buildings, all within walking distance. The walk starts on Friday at 6pm and lasts until 10pm, rain or shine. Some galleries offer lite refreshments and two food trucks will be available. When hunger strikes, grab a patio seat at Picasso Cafe or Paseo Grill. Paseo Grill, one of our Partner Restaurants, offers a patio over-looking the beautiful Spanish villa-style art galleries while savoring a specialty martini.
