Shownotes

Today in Downtown Tulsa: How do you design a neighborhood that people want to visit? Elliot Nelson has thoughts!

Elliot is the pioneering restaurateur behind McNellie’s, Tavern, Bull in the Alley, Mr. Kim’s, and dozens of Tulsa restaurants — as well as a driving force behind several pivotal developments downtown. It all started when Elliot realized that Downtown Tulsa needed a neighborhood pub. Elliot talks about what Downtown Tulsa was like back in 2001, what’s changed, and what still needs to change in order to become a thriving neighborhood.

Plus, don’t miss what’s happening downtown this week, including:

  • How to camp in a trailer on a downtown rooftop
  • A new brewery on 3rd Street
  • 2 free jazz performances
  • A pet adoption event
  • Special dinner deals on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
