Brady Arts District
Named for Wyatt Tate Brady, a shoe salesman who opened one of Tulsa's first mercantile stores at the turn of the 20th century, this is one of the oldest areas in the city, comprising historic performance venues like Cain's Ballroom and Ole Lady on the Brady (Brady Theater), but which has now evolved into a informal creative hub for eclectic restaurants, specialty art galleries, boutique shopping, high-energy nightlife, and live entertainment in a largely reclaimed urban environment.
