Marilyn and I had brunch at the new Pearl's yesterday. Pearl's is OKC's answer to New Orleans cooking. There were two Pearl's, the original and Pearl's Lakeside. The original Pearl's moved because the land where it sat was purchased by Chesapeake to expand their campus. The new Pearl's is located a few miles away, adjacent to the huge Belle Isle Cemetery. Matt, the waiter, told us that all the waiter's and waitresses call it Pearl's Graveside.
From Pearl's we went down Western to have a beer at VZD's, a bar and restaurant created from the old Veasey's Drug Store. Many of the original drug bottles and boxes are still in the glass display case on one side of the restaurant. We drank a beer, took some pictures and continued down the road.
We made our way to the Paseo District, an old art district in Oklahoma City. There we visited an ecclectic gift shop where we bought some incense and ear rings before sitting on the patio of Galileo's Bar and Restaurant. We met lots of nice people and here are a couple of the pics we took.
