    The Mule has a great, fun, energetic vibe with great casual food and good beers.

    Saints Pub is very friendly and has food as well.

    Once Empire opens, that will be yet another casual eating / drinking spot.

    I can confirm it is an outstanding area to have dinner and / or happy hour on a Friday.

    And on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday....

    When I saw this, I thought: "Great, another new hipster thing I'm not nearly cool enough to understand. What in hell is 'Empire's Lice House'?"

    Then I realized it was "Empire Slice House." Thank God...

    what about parking, is that an issue in the district?

    It can be. It's completely surrounded by residential.

    But worse case, you park a block over.

    I imagine some of the residents are going to start raising hell as this district continues to increase in number of businesses and popularity.

    Advice: drive around for a few minutes until you find a space. Always worked for me.

    That has been the problem in many of the redevelopment strips in Austin and Denver.

    Parking challenges = the calling card of a thriving district.

    Was in the plaza last night. And for a Monday night, the district was pretty alive. A steady stream of pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks and a fairly full and busy Mule. Saints also seemed to be pretty busy across the street.

    Plaza District Re: Plaza District

    It really bothers me when people ask about parking when there is a huge, open, free parking lot just west of the Lyric Academy on the west end of the district. It's like people complaining about parking in Bricktown when you have the entire Bass Pro parking lot and the area to the south of it. There is parking out there, you might just have to walk a little bit.

    Note: I am not talking about anyone in particular on this board, more my friends who come to visit from Edmond and complain about it.

  22. Default Re: Plaza District

    I think the key words there are "who come to visit from Edmond." They have a cultural expectation that they should be able to park at the front door of their destination. In the truest sense of the word, it is a culture shock for them.

    Somewhere along the line, a district has to decide if that is the crowd it wishes to cater to, or if it can survive (or even thrive) catering instead to a crowd that is OK with a different type of interaction. I'm not saying that Plaza won't fine-tune its parking offerings as demand increases, but as far as which crowd it wants to cater to, I think the district has already made its choice.

    I've never had a problem finding a parking space at the Plaza. I kind of like parking "away" (the whole district is less than 1/2 a mile-it's not that far) from my ultimate destination. It lets me walk past all the other interesting stuff I didn't specifically come to see.

    Also, walking from the back of the parking lot at a Wal-Mart is further, and significantly more boring, than parking next to the Lyric and walking to the Mule.

    The only time there is a parking issue is for live on the plaza. I had to park 6 streets away in front of someone's house.

    Other than that, no issue if you don't mind a short stroll.
