Juventino's, Blue Sushi, modern love, Ahmad's, really can't tell you all that you should try. These are just the ones I take my friends to when they're visiting from out of town

Photography- hit up the zoo, Fontenelle Forest, or Lauritzen Gardens for neat nature stuff. The Old Market has interesting architecture. A bit out of town- the old town area of Plattsmouth is quintessential old midwest city, and the architecture is really cool. One place to eat- what kind of food do you like? Burgers and that kind of thing, check out Block 16 off 16th and Farnam. You won't be disappointed. Adana's Kebab House in Bellevue is amazing stuff plated beautifully at good prices ($8-10ish for the average meal). B&B Classic Dogs in Bellevue is somewhat unique with all kinds of special hot dogs plus an in-house small arcade. El Basha off 72nd and Pacific is the best Mediterranean that I've had. If I had to pick one place, though- Block 16.

The zoo or lauridsen gardens would be your best bet for photography in my opinion. Some of the city parks might be alright as well but it depends what kind of photography you're looking for. Down the by pedestrian bridge you might find some good cityscape photo opportunities for instance. What kind of restaurant are you looking for more specifically?

The Joslyn Art Museum has a little sculpture garden. There are also large bronze sculptures scattered around Wilderness and Pioneer Courage Park. I know it’s not Omaha, but I really like Korean House in Bellevue. It’s a little family-run Korean restaurant and the owners are such wonderful people. Very fair prices and my family visiting for our wedding loved it. If you wanted nature, Glacier Creek Preserve is a beautiful prairie reprieve in the city. (NW Omaha/Bennington)

There’s a mini waterfall at Louisville lakes

Second the zoo for photography, or maybe catch a bike trail or something along the river. Creighton U campus has some cool giant gothic-style buildings and the general assortment of sculptures and fountains etc. Not a restaurant but if you want the best doughnuts or muffins in town, check out Sweet Magnolias Bakery on 40 th & Cuming. Mom & pop shop owned by a young couple that makes AMAZING baked goods - the home made pop tarts are phenomenal.

There are a lot of great, more urban than nature, places to photograph in the Old Market area. The only place around here that I am aware of with a (very small) waterfall is Platte Rive State Park. For an intimate dinner I would recommend Brother Sebastians.

The Drover. I always make sure to go back every time I'm back in Omaha. Their whiskey bone-in ribeye and filet are ridiculously good.

This looks like Green Acres. The items on the right I don't remember seeing the last time I was in there buying ground flax seed.
Can someone who has used Tish's Restaurant in CB for a party message me? Looking into using the room at the end of April and have some questions. Thank you!
