5 fun and free things to do with your family this weekend

You're not going to run out of things to do this weekend. It will be easy to keep yourself, and the kids, busy with happenings ...

Can't get enough Woody Guthrie? Check out one of these events.

A friend told me he had thought more about Woody Guthrie in the last few days than he had his whole life.

It's no wonder. ...

The weekend is here, and it's time to do something out of your weekday routine.

Here are some ideas to kick start your weekend.

  • On Friday night, do something different. Go for dinner or happy hour at Edward Delk's in the Philtower. This sleek bar and modern restaurant is a great place to go for a drink or to share a short rib flatbread pizza.
    Edward Delk's, 427 S. Boston Ave., 918-770-4388

  • Have your Saturday morning coffee somewhere new for a change. Shades of Brown in Brookside is a nice spot for coffee, lattes and one of the coffee shop's signature drinks, a Prague mocha made with fine chocolate, espresso and steamed milk.
    Shades of Brown, 3302 S. Peoria Ave., 918-747-3000

  • Dinner and a movie: It's a classic combination. But Saturday night, do it somewhere different. Have dinner at Chuy's, the new Austin-based Mexican restaurant. Fresh salsa, blue corn enchiladas and fish tacos are all great. The restaurant sits in front of the Cinemark theater, so after dinner head there to see Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 3D.
    Chuy's, 10808 E. 71st St., 918-252-0405
    Cinemark, 10802 E. 71st St.


  • After a sleepy Sunday morning, check out Woody at 100, the new exhibit celebrating the life of Woody Guthrie, at Gilcrease Museum. For a fun Sunday out, come first for brunch, where the Rendezvous Restaurant is open from 11 am. to 3 p.m., then stay for the exhibit and to browse the museum's permanent collection. The Woody Guthrie exhibit includes writings, artwork, photographs and mementos honoring Guthrie, who was born in Okemah.
    Gilcrease Museum, 1400 N.Gilcrease Museum Road, 918-596-2700
