Are you looking for an elegant place to have dinner but don't want the elegant price tag? Then make your way to OHMS Cafe and Bar. You will be pleasantly surprised by the impressive menu that includes such favorites as rib-eye steaks, New York strip and elk tenderloin that are as delicious as they sound. There's also pan-seared salmon, herb baked chicken and lamb chops that will satisfy any healthy appetite. The wine list and dessert selection are equally inviting, and add to that an interesting, inviting atmosphere and expert service, you've got Amarillo's most sophisticated place to dine.

If you want to find a variety of specialty shops while getting a taste of Amarillo's past, check out the Historic Route 66 downtown. The shops usually don't stay open late, so starting your shopping excursion either just after 10 am or before 5 pm is a good idea. Aside from these great little stores, you'll enjoy the rustic architecture that harkens back to a time when there were horses in the streets instead of cars. Even with it's modern update this area has retained that dusty, old-time feeling and a lot of character that you'll enjoy while shopping the streets of this district.

In Texas everything is bigger, right? That holds true for museums, too, as the Amarillo Museum of Art stands as one of the largest facilities in the United States. With various collections both permanent and traveling, the museum celebrates the creation of art as well as invites it, as it offers classes in various mediums for both children and adults. The staff and supporters work hard to ensure that the venue's mission of providing quality visual arts programming to the residents of the Texas Panhandle is a continuous and successful one. If you appreciate art, this is an attraction you can't miss.
