Insider Tips

Some of my favorite things to do in Amarillo are baseball games at Hodgetown, music at the Amarillo Symphony, and of course attending one of the many rodeos here like Coors Ranch Rodeo or WRCA.

I love going to Palace Coffee. Palace’s convenient locations allow me to meet with friends and professional contacts in different parts of the city. When I’m not at Palace, I scratch my fitness itch at Verdure Fitness. The sauna and steam room are a must after a good workout. I think Amarillo’s secret weapon is the ease of travel through the town. I can get to all my favorite places in fifteen minutes or less from anywhere in town.

My favorite gem is the Downtown Dining District in Center City. The Downtown Dining District has 30 places to eat. These restaurants are locally owned by enterprising entrepreneurs. If you want to eat where the locals eat, go downtown.

A place I wish people frequented more is Skate Plex! I love going there on Thursday nights because it’s adult/college night! There’s something so nostalgic about tying on those roller skates, feeling the breeze flow through your hair as your zoom past people. It’s a must activity to do in Amarillo and they also play groovy

“I love walking down 6th street on the weekends. Going through all the antique shops, stopping at The 806 for coffee and snacks, sitting on their patio and just people watching. It feels nice to see people outside walking around. At night many places on 6th offer live music and host small events as well. We have beautiful history/ architecture here to view.
