If I could eat breakfast at Aurora every single day, I would. The biscuits are too die for. The BLTA has the BEST garlic aioli on it. The berries & cream french toast is so fluffy. The coffee is always good. They've got amazing espresso based drinks and brunch cocktails.
In case you can't tell, this is one of my favs. Seriously, check it out. They get super busy on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so head there early or call and check on the wait time.

여행 팁
준비물
Bring a hat, sunglasses and hair ties!
OKC is a windy and sunny place! Make sure you've got something to keep your hair out of your face and the sun out of your eyes.
교통편
Travel by car or ride share!
OKC has some really walkable areas, but you'll need a car or a ride share to get there. If you're in a district that's walkable, like the Paseo or Bricktown, you'll be good to go once you're there, so make sure you wear your comfy shoes! Downtown does have a rail system that will take you around.
여행 전에 기억할 점
Games & Concerts
If you're headed to a concert or a basketball game, buy your tickets ahead of time to make sure you get good seats! You can walk up to the box office, but you never know what nights will be popular ones.
관습과 문화
Check hours on restaurants if late night dining!
A lot of restaurants near the downtown area close at 8:00 or 9:00 pm and may be closed on Sundays or Mondays. Make sure you check hours online ahead of time if you're out and about!
