Crown Plaza, Brady Theater

We are coming to town to see Lindsey Buckingham at the Brady Theater and staying at the Crown Plaza. I am assuming it will be easiest to walk the six blocks or so to and from the concert. I don%26#39;t know Tulsa very well, so would like to know if this is a safe enough area for us to walk at nighttime! Any suggestions for good dining in the area would be appreciated. We love all kinds of food (Thai, Greek, etc.) Thanks in advance for any advice, Dave

It is very safe to walk around downtown--I%26#39;ve lived %26amp; worked downtown for 27 years. You might see a few homeless people %26amp; maybe even get panhandled once or twice, but a polite ';no thanks'; sends them on their way. With the new BOK Center opening %26amp; the Crowne Plaza renovations complete, this is a great neighborhood made even more so by a new ';downtown'; police detail to ensure safety around the BOK Center %26amp; downtown area. I would not hesitate to walk from the Crowne Plaza to the Brady, any time of day or night.

There are a lot of good restaurant options within walking distance too. McNellies (great beer %26amp; burgers %26amp; other pub food), El Guapo (local Mexican), Tsunami Sushi, the Daily Grill in the Crowne Plaza, Lola%26#39;s, Mexicali (a small local Mexican chain, on your way to the Brady), the Route 66 Diner...and more on the way with the BOK Center bringing crowds downtown on a regular basis.

Bring ear plugs for the trains, which pass by blowing their whistles several times/night. Tulsa eventually with ';car-proof'; the downtown crossings (funding thru Vision 2025 bond funds), but not for another year or two.

Welcome to Tulsa!

Thank you very much! That is exactly the information I was looking for. We are looking forward to our visit.

The trip was a success! Thanks for the advice. We had no problems walking around the district. The Crown Plaza was awesome. 50 percent off - thanks to Priceline. We ate at McNellie%26#39;s and loved the atmosphere and the sweet potato fries! the service was fast and great. The Brady was awesome, and the concert was one of the best ever. A late breakfast this ';afternoon'; at the Blue Dome Cafe topped it off. Great service there as well. We were struck by the politeness everywhere we went! Being from Wichita, which I consider much friendlier than OKC, that is saying something! Thanks again for the reply, Dave
