If
you’re from the Midwest, it’s just a matter of time before you’re
wrecked with a Tex-Mex craving. When it happens, enjoy the sampler at

Known
for its chicken Marsala and delicious pizza, Nomad is a cozy, upscale
Euro-American delight with plenty of veal options, as well as a filet,

After some serious shopping
at Blue Seven, you’ve likely worked up an appetite. Pop in for sushi

If
you’re craving Italian — and lots of it — enjoy this family-style
restaurant. All the dishes are crafted with love, handed down through
generations of proprietor Cathy Cummings’ family. While you’re there,
indulge in the Fat Tony’s pasta special, complete with your choice of
pasta and meatballs or Italian sausage.

Pho’nomenal
7504 N. May
608-4151

You
can expect your favorites like rice dishes, noodle soups and egg rolls.
If you’re extra hungry and can’t decide between the three, try a dish
that combines them all — vermicelli with shrimp and spring roll. On the
go? Grab one of the many smoothies: avocado, mocha blast, lychee, mango,
blueberry or taro.

Mediterranean Imports &
Deli

5620 N. May
medimportsokc.com
810-9494

Forgetting
about reality, even for a little while, is one of the best parts about
living in a city. At Imports, the overgrown vegetation beckons weary
road-warriors to come in. Lunch specials range from Italian salami to
mujadra (lentil pilaf) and fresh baba ghanoush is served up daily.
