I noticed no one mentioned Oklahoma City's Riverwalk...err...Bricktown for a social getaway. Mickey Mantle's is superb (better than the one in NYC) and Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill is good too. Toby Keith's place is a bit of a culture shock if you are a Yankee like me, but you get a huge plate of food for a small price. If you want, check out a Redhawks (AAA team for the Astros) game too. If you are dreading an assignment at Vance, be aware that Oklahoma is more (albeit, a little more) than just winds sweeping down the plains.
