The Hungry Frog

1101 N Pennsylvania Ave
Oklahoma City, OK 73107

The Hungry Frog is housed in a ratty little building on the corner of 10th and Penn. The sign on the outside of the building (see pics above) was enough to drag me in. Now upon discussion with fellow Okcbites blogger, Dustin I have reconsidered my opinion of the sign. Dustin made a pretty good point when he said he has a problem with a place using a cartoon character of something they serve to encourage business. The frog on the sign looks super happy, but little does he know they are about to cut his legs off and serve them as a meal. I guess I can’t argue with such thorough logic.

1492 New World Latin Cuisine

The Highly Anticipated 1492 New World Latin Cuisine 

There is so much to say about Oklahoma City’s newest Latino eatery that three of the four OKCbites staff have decided to contribute to this review. 

Overview

Located in OKC’s up and coming Midtown area directly across from the highly acclaimed Café do Brasil sits 1492 New World Latin Cuisine.  The restaurant has converted one of the historic Beverly’s Pancake house locations, specifically the Walker site.  The renovation and launch for 1492 has been in the works for a year and garnered the attention of myself and numerous others all over the city.    The ambiance is great.  One can be seated next to the large picture windows and view the hustle and bustle of lower walker while relazing in the dining room.  With a large bar area, swank chandeliers, and a soon to open patio; 1492 has positioned itself to offer an upscale dining experience to the city’s affluent and young hip crowd.
