Oklahoma City (OKC) is a hidden gem often overshadowed by larger cities like Paris and New York. Recognized by Travel + Leisure as a top travel destination in 2020, OKC offers affordable high-quality cuisine minus the crowds. Settled during the historic 1889 land run, it quickly transformed from a small railroad hub to the largest city in Oklahoma. The author reflects on personal ties to the city and its evolving character, blending Western culture with modern amenities, epitomized by its welcoming spirit, "The Big Friendly."
"Oklahoma City is a hidden gem that offers affordable haute cuisine and avoids the tourist crowds, making it one of Travel + Leisure's top places to visit in 2020."
"What's remarkable about OKC is its juxtaposition of large, open spaces and modern skyscrapers, representing a blend of history and progress since the land run of 1889."
