First time to visit We Street Ice Center. We have been wanting to go for a long time just to check…read moreit out. This is a great place to visit when it's 100+ outside. We checked out the vendors, Puck's, and then settled in to watch some league hockey. The 52 degrees was heavenly (but I'm glad I brought a jacket). This would be a cool (literally) place to hang out and just people watch. The train seemed to never stop and it's nice that that is free for kids and families. I'm glad this is in the old Macy's and that We Street might keep the area alive. (It was a bit sad driving through the Promenade parking lot.)

We had such a great time at the Yelp Summer Bash today! It was our first time visiting WeStreet Ice…read moreCenter, and we were super impressed. Everything was clean and organized, plus everyone from the WeStreet staff to the vendors was nice. We loved watching the kids ride the train around and around, checking out Puck's Sports Bar & Grill upstairs(we def want to go back for a game) and Sledge's Den and meeting the wolf and bunny characters. We even had to stop and get a picture with the Dikembe Mutombo height chart because how often do you see one of those? I tweaked my knee hiking a few weeks ago so I didn't get to skate this time, but it gives us a good excuse to come back because next time I definitely want to give it a go, I used to ice skate when we had a rink at Williams Center and on ponds when I lived in CO. It was such a fun FREE afternoon and we're already talking about coming back for a Tulsa Oilers game. Thanks Yelp Tulsa, WeStreet, and 918 She Connects for putting this together it was a great way to spend the afternoon! Plus we got to see our yelp friends which is always a bonus

There…read morewere well over 40 different breweries and beers available and as someone fairly new to beer it was a great event to find out what's out there. Nearly all were local or neighboring states which was great too! Definitely got my money's worth! Only issue was a lack of food options. There were only two small trucks, but maybe more came for the night session.

How did Tulsa get so lucky? Not only do we have incredible groups of people around the city…read moreconstantly looking for ways to bring more fun and flavor, we also have like 10 festivals a year where we can drink delicious beers in the streets. I've been to HBF a few years in a row now, and the McNellie's team that puts it on is constantly making little improvements all over the place to make it even better. HBF brings together breweries from all over the country with a focus on Oklahoma and Tulsa. For $30-35, you can taste as much beer as you want as you go up to each vendors tent with your commemorative glass and get a small pour of everything they have to offer. For people like me who love beer but hate wasting $8 or more to get a beer I may or may not like, this is an incredible opportunity to try a lot of great tastes and find a few new favorites. Plenty of beer, water and portable toilets for everyone--well planned all around. If you like beer at all, I would highly recommend you check this event out!

On a cool, sunny Tulsa afternoon I found myself downtown and within easy striking distance of the…read morelegendary Center of the Universe. What, I wondered, might I find in this little spot that is rumored to have magical powers? Thankfully, the C of the U is well-marked by an enormous, spire-like metal map marker so it's easy to find. Once there, the actual COTU is marked by sort of a worn out circle of bricks and concrete that (tbh) probably needs a little sprucing up. According to local lore (and many Yelp reviews), you can stand in the center of this spot and speak, and nobody will hear you. Or your words will come back to you. Or something like that. I wasn't really sure what to expect. And to be completely honest with you, nothing happened when I tried. Maybe I did it wrong. There *were* people walking by, so I mostly muttered to myself, rather than yell out into the void. Yes, it's quite likely that fear of embarrassment caused me not to experience the magic and wonder that make the COTU what it is.

Wild Brew is one of my favorite fundraising events benefitting the George Miksch Sutton Avian…read moreResearch Center, a nonprofit in Bartlesville focused bird conservation. I had no idea this organization existed until I attended Wild Brew. My husband loves beer so the first time we attended it was solely to enjoy the food and drink. We had no idea how educational it would be. The Sutton Center is best known for its work restoring bald eagles. They use to be on the endangered list but conservation efforts led to their population recovery and they were removed from it. Following the success with eagles, they are now working to save the Attwater's prairie-chicken and the masked bobwhite quail, two of North America's most endangered birds. The event has been held for 27 years and they improve every single year. It's usually at the Convention Center downtown. This year it was on a Saturday in August. They had craft beer from more than 40 breweries, delicious bites from Tulsa restaurants, live music, local art, and even bird encounters. VIP ticket holders get to arrive an hour early, a tasting glass, and access to a lounge area. Four hours for an event sounds like a long time, but you really have to pace yourself in order to try as many brews and bites as possible in an enjoyable manner. Time really does fly by! Each attendee gets tickets to vote for their favorite drinks and bites. My husband loves discovering new beers and I love tagging along for the good food. Among our favorite bites this year were Sisserou's jerk chicken and Waldo's chicken bites and cheddar biscuit (I was surprised by this too!). We really enjoyed beers from Anthem Brewing, Alva Beer Co., and Skydance. My favorite discovery was kombucha from Firefly Brew.

I'm not sure why this is rated so highly. Maybe it was better in past years?…read more Overall was not as fun and did not offer as much as we expected. 1. Hardly any vendors overall and only four food trucks. That said "Hot mess BBQ" was delish. 2. Band was average. First of all who hires a like semi hard core rock band for an outdoor summer festival? How about a fun cover band guys? 3. Band leader never STFU. He went on and on talking and rambling about the talent in the area and his journey. Like 20 mins of talking and then a song and then more talking 4. Bring a canopy, cooler, and chairs and get there fairly early to get a good spot.

Organizers have done an awesome job in the short time the festival has been alive in making it a family-friend but also adult-fun event. There are plenty of places along the river to watch all the crazy contraptions various Tulsans have built float by, and there's an awesome small festival ground with food, drinks and activities for the kids. Although the race is fun, the after party can be even better! Overall, a great event I look forward to watching grow as more and more Tulsans learn about it. Perfect Tulsa-flavored summer fun.
