Midtown & Uptown: Lawrence family
As a small-business family living in the heart of Oklahoma City, we LOVE to champion other local businesses in the community. Our very favorite thing about OKC is the small neighborhood vibe right in the middle of a big thriving city, and the options for families are extensive. One of our favorite neighbors and local businesses that we love to support is Commonplace Bookstore in Midtown, which hosts our favorite Storytime for Littles every Saturday morning. Sweet Yield Studio on Film Row is where both of our babies (and their momma) take ballet, hiphop and creativity classes. We love Theatre Camp at Oklahoma Children’s Theatre at Oklahoma City University, and our kids have created some incredibly cool things during art camp at Oklahoma Contemporary (we can’t wait to see the new location!) We love biking at beautiful Scissortail Park and cheering for our home team at OKC
THE LAWRENCE FAMILY TAKES IN AN OKC DODGERS GAME LAST SUMMER.
Dodgers games (we can’t wait for baseball to be back). Our favorite local eats are Plant in Midtown (healthy and delicious!), PlayCafe on 23rd (super cool concept!) and Tuckers Onion Burgers or Pizzeria Gusto in Uptown. Oklahoma City does community well and we’re so thankful to be a part of it. Erin and Justin Lawrence are parents of Jackson (6) and Charlie (4) and live in Mesta Park. They own Oklahoma Shirt Company.
Asian & Plaza Districts: Arrendondo family One of our favorite places to visit as a family is right in the heart of OKC … Cafe Kacao ! We absolutely love their Guatemalan and Latin cuisine dishes. They offer unique and delicious flavors in their menu, full of heritage and culture. Located off 33rd and Classen in the Asian District, we’ve been happy to support them through COVID-19 as they have been open for curbside and pick-up orders and their customer service is still one of the best! Another local area we love to support as a family is the Plaza District. We love to visit The Mule to dine outside on their patio. Then, we like to hop over to grab some ice cream from Roxy’s Ice Cream Social . Gardenia and Diego Arredondo are parents of Alayna (11), Diego Jr. (5) and Gianluca (1). Gardenia is a lead teacher at Special Care.
ALAYNA AND DIEGO LOVE EXPLORING OKC’S ASIAN AND PLAZA DISTRICTS.
