Oklahoma has never really been known as a destination vacation in the United States because it doesn't have an oceanside beach or glorious mountains or many places. It's also not known for major events in history or many places to adventure and sight-see. Oklahoma may not seem like your typical vacation spot, but if you love road tripping and trying magnificent meals, then Oklahoma is the place to go. Oklahoma is known for its food and has many different restaurants throughout the entire state to prove it.

1. Blue Moon Cafe

In Ada, Oklahoma, there is a diner/cafe that looks like it's straight from the 1950's. The decor is full of Elvis Presley and Rock n' Roll. The food is all-American and definitely worth a trip to go back in time.

2. Abendigo's Grill

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.
