Driving Route 66 Through Amarillo, TX

Historic "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" runs for one mile along Sixth Ave. through Amarillo, TX.
Daisy was welcome here.  Most restaurants have outside seating.

Antique shops and restaurants line Sixth Ave.  Several of the antique stores are (or seem) a block deep.  We ate at The Golden Light Cafe (great hamburgers).  It has been in continuous operation since the 1940's.  Cowboy Gelato and Bracero's Mexican Bar and Grill also serve delicious food.  They have outside dining so Daisy was with us.

The Big Texan Steak Ranch, home of the free 72 oz. steak, moved from Rt 66 to Interstate 40 in the early 1970's.  We ate there several times.  (Once Daisy was with us in her bag.)  There is a wonderful gift shop, shooting range, maze, hotel, swimming pool, and candy shop all in the same complex.

Here you can "swim across the state of TX"

Many businesses have kept their original bones (paint & structure).
