We went here on a Sunday in order to be able to find a parking space, which can be a challenge. The architecture is so very impressive, it's like stepping back a half century at least, to old brick streets and warehouses and open cafes. The area is very safe and live music can be heard from every corner, as... More

I didn't get to visit very much -- it was a business trip. But I did get to walk around. What impressed me most were the myriad choices of ethnic foods. I tried two different ethnic varieties and they were pretty good. It would be great fun to explore options.

I love going to the Old Market. I like to drive downtown and walk through the Old Market to see, smell and listen to all of the activity taking place. Saturday's in the Old Market during the spring through late fall is the Farmers Market. I love waling around and tasting the food and watching the people. Omaha has a... More

What struck us is that there are so many funky independent yet thriving small shops and restaurants. Yes there are a few chains, but they are way outweighted by the most unique and inviting businesses. You have to go in, they beckon you.

You haven't experienced Omaha until you go to the Old Market. Over the years, this has expanded and become the place to go. Nice restaurants for every budget. I love sitting outdoors, which is an option in nice weather. I love the street musicians that make me feels I am in a world class city.

Wonderfully preserved old town feel with lots of atmosphere. The cobble streets and the various eating houses make this area a must to visit.

This area is so unique and fun. On a summer night, there are so many restaurants/bars that have outdoor patio's that it is really fun to sit and just enjoy the activity and people watch. It is an area that is well attended by most visitors to the city plus the local people. Many of the older buildings have been... More
