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.
With big talents, big shows and a big schedule of upcoming shows, there's obviously nothing little about the Amarillo Little Theatre. The venue is a constant center of activity, and the various staff members and volunteers work hard, along with the directors, technicians and actors to put on the best show possible. Some of the highlights of the upcoming season include La Cage Aux Folles, Footloose, Chicago and Of Mice and Men. So if you're looking for some fresh entertainment with a Broadway flavor, look no further than the Amarillo Little Theatre for big-time fun.
Sometimes, an intimate chat over a cup of coffee is better than any fancy, expensive evening out. Capture those special one-on-one moments at Roasters Coffee and Tea Co. Choose from an impressive selection of gourmet coffees and teas as well as a luscious pastry or muffin to go along with your selection. The quaint tables and relaxed atmosphere of their shop will only add to the mood, even if the two of you have to rush off to the office after you're done sipping on your beverage.
