Among the most quietly developing metropolitan areas in the United States is Oklahoma City. With a burgeoning downtown district, a professional sports franchise (Oklahoma City Thunder of the NBA) and a major university (University of Oklahoma) in bordering Norman, Oklahoma City is fast becoming a major metropolitan area. Among the many draws of Oklahoma City is Bricktown, a district in the city that features plenty of dining, culture and of course, places to stay.
