Arts, culture, food, nightlife: The Metro area is the place to experience Nebraska’s vibrant urban scene.
WHAT TO DO
The state’s largest city is bustling with things to do. Boat, hike, bike or birdwatch along Omaha’s stretch of the Missouri Riverfront. In the suburbs, discover the National Natural Landmark Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue, cheer on the Minor League Omaha Storm Chasers in Papillion and rack up deals at Gretna’s Nebraska Crossing Outlets. Tour inspirational Boys Town, which showcases the still-operating community, Father Flanagan’s home, Hall of History and the world’s largest ball of stamps.
WHERE TO STAY
Immerse yourself in luxury right in the heart of Omaha at Hotel Deco XV. This historic gem is one of the state’s Four Diamond properties. Refined elegance is the hallmark of the Magnolia Hotel, built in 1923 in the style of the Bargello palace in Florence, Italy. The property is the perfect home base for exploring the surrounding Old Market district of downtown Omaha. For the intimacy of a bed-and-breakfast with metropolitan convenience, check into Oft’s B&B in Bennington.
WHERE TO EAT
In Omaha, sample seasonal dishes in a hip setting at Overeasy, fill up on vegan fare at Modern Love or go for creative eats and drinks at M’s Pub in the Old Market. At Local Beer, Patio and Kitchen, with locations in Omaha, Gretna and Lincoln, pair Midwestern and Nebraska-brewed beer with designated menu items. In Waterloo, treat yourself to a choice steak and buttery crab legs at Farmer Browns Steak House.
CITY VIBES
WHERE TO DRINK
Gather ’round creative cocktails and fine bar food—served until 2 a.m.—at Nite Owl in Omaha. Relish the perfect atmosphere for conversation and drinks at Nebraska Brewing Company in Papillion. Enjoy one of the craft brew pub’s selections such as the crisp, mild Cardinal Pale Ale. Founded by two home brewers, kid-friendly Kros Strain Brewing in La Vista is known for its Fairy Nectar IPA, reclaimed barnwood bar and 30-foot, hand-painted graffiti wall.
