Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Edmond

"Head over to Cheever’s Cafe in the Paseo/Mesta Park neighborhood of OKC for dinner. This adorable restaurant, with an outside dining patio and romantic vibe inside, is where you’ve got to try a quintessential Southern dish done right—Chicken Fried Steak. I’d only tried this dish once and wasn’t a huge fan, but the waiter raved about it being one of Cheever’s top sellers, so I gave it a try. This carefully thought out dish is stacked with luscious ingredients, topped with a decadent jalapeño cream gravy, and paired with garlic red-skinned mash."

"Cheever’s says it specializes in American cuisine with Southwest influences – that’s code for “superbly delicious.” Though the enchiladas and migas are superb, for something unique sample this creative assembly of cornmeal cakes under a large dose of rich, creamy shrimp risotto, two poached eggs and a blanket of intriguingly flavorful ancho cream sauce (with sides of pico de gallo and salsa verde) and see for yourself. Just don’t be surprised if you decide repeated further research is necessary next week, and the week after."

"A renowned institution of Western art and culture, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, founded in 1955, celebrates the legacy of the American west with a collection of arts and crafts that focuses on the American cowboy, Native American culture, Victorian firearms, frontier military, and rodeos. Featured artists include nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, Edward S. Curtis and James Earle Fraser, among others. The museum also houses the Weitzenhoffer Gallery of Fine American Firearms with its collection of Colt, Sharps, Winchester, Remington, Smith & Wesson, Marlin, and Parker Brothers weapons, as well as the Hall of Great Westerners, the Hall of Great Western Performers, and the Rodeo Hall of Fame."

"Settled by pioneers during the 1889 Land Run, home to former cattle trails and cattle ranches, and the birthplace of countless Western film stars, musicians and entertainers, Oklahoma City is a can’t-miss stop in cowboy country. Witness the saga of the American cowboy come to life at the acclaimed National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and celebrate the city’s proud Western roots. Home to the prestigious Prix de West art exhibition, this internationally-renowned museum inspires visitors with an astonishing array of Western art, American Indian and frontier artifacts and even a fully constructed turn-of-the-century cattle town."

"The museum's task is ambitious - to collect and preserve and interpret the artifacts of the American West. It's 19,000 metres square space exhibits over 2000 works of western art - paintings and sculptures - by 19th and 20th century artists and native American art. It also has an extensive collection of native American art, which hlps explore their culture, clothing, spirituality and music."

"Winnicki Brewing Company offers the best-brewed beer in Oklahoma City. Firstly with their experienced staff, the product tastes the same rain or shine. Secondly, the beers brewed are prepared traditionally combined with science."

"Ludivine is a small restaurant located in the heart of the city. The menu changes on a daily basis, depending on availability from the local ranches and farms who deliver fresh meat, vegetables, herbs, and fruits. The daily menu dazzles with a handmade linguini puttanesca, wagyu culotte sorghum, and a glazed ponderosa farm duck breast."

"Back at the Ambassador, we relaxed in our room and got ready for dinner at Ludivine – one of the top restaurants in OKC in our opinion. The hotel’s complimentary shuttle service whisked us away to Ludivine for an unforgettable meal and evening."

"Edmond is a city and community about 25 minutes north of downtown Oklahoma City. The Edmond Historical Society & Museum preserves the history of the city. The permanent exhibits include information and artifacts focused on Native Americans, early Edmond history, and much more."

"Any of the restaurants along the beautiful Bricktown canal would be a good choice, of course, but a must-try is the New Orleans-style selection at Jazmo'z Bourbon Street Cafe. The patio area is covered, located right down along the canal, and you get a good view of both the passing water taxis and the horse-drawn carriages on Oklahoma Avenue above."

"Jazmo'z Bourbon Street Cafe is a wonderful canal-side spot with one of the best patios for outdoor dining. It's a New Orleans-style seafood restaurant with live music and an entertaining Mardi Gras atmosphere. You're sure to enjoy the many good seafood dishes, Cajun meals, and craft beer selection."

"Located in the historic Buick Building in Automobile Alley, you’ll find the Broadway 10 Bar & Chophouse. Wood-fired meats and handcrafted cocktails make each meal not just something to eat, but an experience. You’ll love their 28-day-aged Primal cuts as much as their specialty, Kelley’s chocolate cake."

"Start your day here with a breakfast pastry and cup of coffee. Enjoy options like muffins, scones and croissants to begin your morning right. For those with a sweet tooth, the cinnamon rolls, peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies are always a big hit."

"The blueberry pomegranate coconut milk refresher was off the hook. The best refresher drink of any food establishment I've had ever."

"3001 General Pershing BlvdOklahoma City, OK 73107(405) 948-6700. The Oklahoma State Fair is a fairly large fair and exposition in Oklahoma City which is something you should definitely not miss as it only takes place in mid-September each year."
