Some popular restaurants include Revolution Pizza, Bucktown Brewery, Rendezvous Pizza, and Mickey Mantle Steakhouse. There is metered street parking available throughout the District. Some restaurants have their own private lots and the District is serviced by public transportation, including a train. The District has a bunch of hotels, bars, restaurants, and a baseball field, Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, home of the Oklahoma City Comets, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. There is also a movie theater there as well. Most of the District of covered by metered street parking and commercial parking lots, but they are both rather reasonably priced. Paycom Center and the Oklahoma City Memorial are just outside of the District. One issue I had with the District was the motorcycles racing u and down the street late at night, they were very loud and kept me up. This area has a storied history and definitely promotes public art. There are some very fascinating murals and sculptures there. You can catch the Water taxis, which provides guests with a guided tour of the city. I was there during the week (Monday-Thursday) and there was not a lot of people roaming the District. I still enjoyed my time there and it was pretty fun. You are surely to end up here if you are visiting OKC. It is a must visit.

It was commissioned by the City of Oklahoma city depicts a bronze man coming out of the ground to about chest high. The man is holding a big cement ball in both hands like a basketball and pushing the ball up two steel rails. Health care consultant Curtis Thomas served as a model for the piece, which is meant to pay homage to the struggles of those original residents of the "Deep Deuce" neighborhood, a thriving African American community, as well as the historic structures themselves; the railroads, loading docks, and post & beam construction of the warehouses. It also rumored to represent civil rights struggles. The piece has been criticized for being too urban. I however, really like the sculpture. It is very detailed. It is almost life-like even though it is a bit larger than scale. It really grabs your attention, even though it is in a little corner along the canal. It is definitely worth a look if you are in the area. Being that this piece is located in Bricktown, there is metered street parking and commercial parking lots within a reasonable walking distance. It is not a destination piece though, nor a large consumer of your time. With that being said, as with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There are many bars and restaurants in the area.

The Uptown neighbourhood is really great and rivals Plaza in some ways (not others) as the coolest neighbourhood in town. You have Tucker's Onion Burgers (my fave location) which are delicious - and then right next door you have a bunch of some of the best Chinatown stuff you can imagine in such a small City like Oklahoma City. Chinatown is technically separate from Uptown, but they're neighbours, so it works out. The Chinatown here is really growing and is surprisingly awesome. Try Quoc Bao for Banh Mi sandwiches, and the smoothies (Honeydew, Berry, Taro Coconut, Mocha) at Bambu. Now if you'll excuse me I have to hang out with Alexa Rae Joel.

This rusted fire escape is suspended between two buildings in Midtown Oklahoma City. It was salvaged from a nearby hotel and is named after the double helix of DNA that it sort of resembles. The fire escape, which originally stretched from the third floor into the basement of the hotel, was removed via crane during the renovations. After one of the building's owners saw it suspended in midair during the moving process, it was decided to preserve the spiraling structure and give it a new home in the sky above a nearby courtyard.
