1. Brady Arts District
Neighborhood/StreetNamed for Wyatt Tate Brady, a shoe salesman who opened one of Tulsa's first mercantile stores at the turn of the 20th century, this is one of the oldest areas in the city, comprising historic performance venues like Cain's Ballroom and Ole Lady on the Brady (Brady Theater), but which has now evolved into a informal creative hub for eclectic restaurants, specialty art galleries, boutique shopping, high-energy nightlife, and live entertainment in a largely reclaimed urban environment.

2. Brookside Dining and Shopping District
Business DistrictHistoric Brookside is a laid-back, easy-to-navigate collection of unique restaurants, art studios and galleries, boutiques, and entertainment and nightlife venues, woven among specialty services, churches, and residences. Once a settlement area for the Creek Nation displaced from Alabama in 1834, it became home to Brookside Drug a century later. By the 1940s new residential and commercial development sprouted—elegant homes, churches, businesses, and wholesome entertainment—and these characteristics have endured. Some of the Streamline-style art-deco buildings survive, including the City Veterinary Hospital and KJRH-TV (formerly the Brookside Broadcast Center). Others have been retrofitted for new uses: the former Brook Theater is now The Brook restaurant and bar; Dunwell Cleaners, a family business for four generations, is now a popular sushi restaurant; and Holmes Elemenary School is now the Brookside Center.

3. Cain's Ballroom
Arts/Performance VenueThis celebrated, world-famous concert venue is an icon of music history, widely considered the birthplace of Western swing, which Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys called home during the 1930s. Today, it remains a small, vibrant, live-performance venue, hosting internationally known artists while still nurturing local, homegrown talent. Built in 1924, the building's signature architectural element is a spring-loaded dance floor constructed of maple laid in a concentric, "log cabin" style. Most concerts here are not seated events. The venue can accommodate a standing audience of 1,800.
