Lefty's on Greenwood

[CoffeeBean]

I know its backwards, but my wife immediately asks, "Long?"

I went to Lefty's twice yesterday. Had the nachos for lunch and broccoli soup for dinner.

I was very impressed with the staff, the feel of the place and the menu. It could turn out to be a hangout...

A friend and I watched basketball there a week or two ago.  Drinks were good, good amount of TV's, although I think they missed the boat not doing a large projection screen on one of the big blank walls.  They had just rolled out food that day, the chicken wings were ok, but not great.

Haven't been to the restaurant yet, but just drove by there this evening and shook my head as I noticed there were no awnings along the entire north side of that building.  Not pedestrian friendly and that will hurt sales.  And not just for them.  I don't get that.

Lol....What.....Awnings.....

We're you the one saying that awnings were "illegal in Tulsa" ?

In seriousness, though, that was my biggest complaint with GreenArch while living there.  It was all concrete and asphalt around it, with these little wisps of shrubbery.  The only real exception was a sod patch in the parking lot so that pets had a place to go.

I remember seeing this rendering of the building (before construction had started) where there were trees around the building, and it would have been super nice.  Guess they cost too much money to put in/maintain. http://www.tulsaworld.com/business/realestate/greenarch-brings-apartments-retail-to-greenwood/article_04374996-ea94-5034-817b-7940ad3400dc.html?mode=image&photo=1

The ball park has trees on the street.

Maybe the GreenArch building will look better once the lot across the street gets developed?

I've heard the building is very noisy.  Did you find that to be true?

Yes, but to me, that's apartment living.  Ceilings and floors aren't sound-proofed/insulated, and are "hardwood" (sealed plywood) so if you live below someone with "heavy footsteps" you heard every one of them.  (I did).  Pets are allowed, so if you're around someone who allows their pets to yap constantly or run around crazily, you'll hear that (same folks with heavy footsteps).

Interior wall to the hallway is thin, so if you've got someone talking on their phone as they are coming/going to the stairwell, you'll probably hear some stuff.

There was one instance where the people below me were having a small get-together, but had the music so high up that the Bass was rattling stuff in my apt. When I went down and asked them to turn it down, they were very responsive about it, super apologetic   Most of the residents seemed to be part of the Teach For America program, or other "young professionals" (like myself) that worked downtown, so it's part of the crowd.


If you want an apartment that isn't noisy at all, go with the University Club

Center Plaza (Central Park Condos) was pretty sound proof.  That is, unless the neighbors on the one side of our apartment were getting their freak on then all bets were off.
