Tex-Mex cantinas and authentic steakhouses offer hearty meals after a day of exploration. Most attractions sit within a walkable six-block radius, with ample street parking available. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings provide the perfect base for experiencing this slice of genuine Panhandle heritage.
Polk Street Historic District
Polk Street Historic District showcases Amarillo's oil boom legacy through stunning Art Deco buildings and the glowing marquee of the historic Paramount Theatre. Galleries display regional artwork while Western heritage shops line tree-shaded sidewalks. Route 66 memorabilia adds nostalgic charm to this walkable cultural hub where history feels alive at every corner. From upscale steakhouses to casual Tex-Mex cantinas, the district satisfies diverse tastes with chicken-fried steak and green chile specialties. Restored boutique hotels occupy early 1900s buildings, offering personalized service. The six-block area is easily explored on foot, with seasonal trolley service connecting major attractions.
