    A group of friends and I came out for the Halloween festivities at The Capitol District. It was pretty fun! Unfortunately both times I've been out to the Capitol District it was basically dead. Definitely didn't have the vibe I was looking for. You'd think with the set up (outdoor patio, the surrounding bars and big screens) it'd be a more happening place. Definitely disappointed.

    I've been to a couple of Nebraska football games here to watch on the big screen. Love the big screen! Nice that they have tables sitting around or you can bring your own lawn chair and sit. Just wish they had a better choice of food and drink during the game. Not a huge fan of the places that they have which is very limited and recently went to watch an 11:00 AM game. KETV had a segment the Friday before on their Welcome to the Weekend segment stating that the game once again would be on the big screen with many tables and even heaters at the tables which was certainly intriguing as it was supposed to be quite chilly for the first few hours. My friends and I arrived 30 minutes before the game to find not one table. They had all been stored away already and the igloos that you can rent had taken the place of all the tables. Security that was working there had no knowledge of any advertisement for the game so I was thankful we brought our lawn chairs which was kind of a bummer to eat in without a table. Not one heater in sight. Ended up getting a slice of pizza from the only place that was open down there which would not have been my first choice. Next time I will try to remember there is a new Kum and Go in the District which I could've went and got a cheaper slice of pizza from and perhaps enjoyed even more! Super poor planning.

    Love Capital District :) All of the bars are fun - each different in their own way. Perfect place to go with friends.

Because I am a woman in my mid forties, I HAD to try one of their specials aptly named "Hello Kitty"; but make her hot! I do love a strong hazelnut flavor to my lattes and this gal didn't disappoint. Very smooth, zero irritation on the stomach, with a smidge of a caramel kick at the end. Requested oat milk out of preference - or maybe habit? - but she was wonderful. I had my eyes on a few of those cupcakes in their display case and never mind those breakfast sammies listed on their menu... next time, next time... Can we talk about their study rooms for a minute?! Where was this when I was deep in the studies?! Perfect place for a small gathering of sorts, especially in their $20/hr conference room. But those bathroom stall doors... does that green not just make you happy?! If urban coffee shops filled with art from local artists, big plush comfy couches, lived in comfy chairs, or just dig the vibe of a downtown coffee shop, try them! If you aren't a coffee lover, there's other drinks on the menu for indulgent purposes, along with some pretty neat combos; flavored cold foams with such-and-such...

The desserts are SO good, and the coffee and tea varieties are awesome. Good selection of herbal teas and drinks if you're avoiding caffeine--I got an iced hibiscus and chamomile tea blend that was superlative. Super friendly staff. Really patient and kind when I realized I hadn't specified decaf for my coffee drink, and remade it immediately. Can't wait to return for open-mic night or one of their other events! Or just to stay and read awhile...

    The Durham Museum is in the old Union Station. I'm glad they were able to preserve the building…read morebecause it really is spectacular. There are many permanent displays about Omaha history, and there are train cars you can walk through; enthusiastic docents are often there to answer any questions. There are temporary exhibits here as well, and in the summers they will have something cool that the whole family will enjoy. There are lots of programs here, many of them free with admission or membership. I do recommend getting a membership if you think you might want to come at least a couple times in a year. And you probably will want to! There is a soda fountain/snack bar area. The ice cream is great! The food is okay. It's a museum and not a lunch destination. The museum is located right next to Omaha's Old Market.

    I was in town visiting and wanted to see how Omaha's Union Station compares to the one we have back…read morehome. It was built in 1931 in the Art Deco style and designed by LA architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood. The museum has lots of photographs and examples of materials used that would be a delight for all those interested in architecture. Downstairs was the train depot and where you can go inside and sit in the train cars. Most of the rooms appeared to be part of their permanent collection, but part of the downstairs area has rotating exhibits. The exhibit on display was "The Negro Motorist Green Book" which you may be familiar with if you watched the 2018 film "Green Book." I had a great time at the museum and would return, although check the calendar as I went when the NE SciFest going on and I prefer calmer museum visits. Still, definitely would recommend checking it out!

I enjoyed the crunch and freshness of the broccolini and Klamato olives for that added punch of flavor .... The citrus herb grilled chicken had a lightness to it..herbs made it even more delicious.another of my absolute favorite was the hearty roasted squash soup ...topped with sunflower seeds for taste and texture. last but not least the berry cobbler...cherries, strawberries, topped with crispiness .it was a sweet light dessert for the win ..then the best part that completed the perfect night for ME was when I was nominated for Rookie of the year ...and surprisingly enough I won...I humbly accepted my award...smiled the rest of the night...knowing my journey has just begun! We chose a table and eventually we had more people join it and we immediately had so much to talk about...more new friends! The staff was amazing ...the service was top notch ...the bar had lots of options ...well stocked and organized ...the Photo Booth was perfect for making our memories permanent Marguerite who painted our portrait demonstrated how she saw us through her eyes...loved the retro yet sophisticated imagines she created for us! Thank you Meg for your dedication and hard work...the event was an EPIC and very memorable (especially for me)
