A fried chicken joint on the outskirts of Omaha (also a biker bar at night). The chicken is really good, but the interesting thing is that they feed the leftovers to raccoons and feral cats. The animals hang around all day and longingly watch you eat. If you're lucky, you can sit next to the wall of windows and watch the 'coons fight each other for position in the "viewing decks" built onto the tree outside. Definitely a unique dining experience.

City/town information

Home to the former world’s richest man Warren Buffett and a slew of other multi-millionaires, Omaha has a high concentration of wealthy inhabitants. You’d never know it, as most of them are completely unassuming. Maybe some of their luck will rub off on you, eh? With one of the best and most diverse music scenes in the country, it’s no wonder Omaha is on list after list of the top music cities in the United States. Catch a great local show at The Waiting Room, Slowdown, Barley Street Tavern or Venue 51. There’s a concert or open mic every night in this city. Ask a local how long it takes to get from any point A to any point B, and the answer will be 20 minutes. Kind of like when you order Chinese take-out and the wait time is always 10 minutes. With easy interstate access and manageable traffic (even at rush hour), it’s quick and easy to get around the entire city. Since 1950, people from around the U.S. have flocked to Omaha to participate in America’s favorite pastime, the College World Series. Deemed the best in the U.S.–and not just by locals–the Henry Doorly Zoo boasts the largest geodesic dome in the nation, as well as the largest indoor rainforest. Bears, monkeys, penguins and any other animal you can think of is housed in this massive zoo. Known as part of the Silicon Prairie, tech startups and entrepreneurs abound in Omaha. Check out the “Silicon Prairie News” for the latest in tech and creative in this booming sector, and if you’re entrepreneurially minded, you’ve got to go to The Big Omaha conference. Joslyn Art Museum boasts an amazing collection of fine art from Rembrandt’s to modern masters. The best part? Admission is free. The Art Deco masterpiece that was once Union Station has been turned into Durham Museum, where you can tour vintage trains and view changing exhibits ranging from the 1960’s to fashion to photos. Both museums are perfect destinations for rainy Saturdays. If you like a certain soft drink, snack food, ad campaign or fast food menu item, chances are it was tested in Omaha first. Since the city’s demographics are similar to that of the nation as a whole, we usually get it first–and sometimes only–here.

Hi, I'm Bob. I'm a bridge. Technically I’m a 3,000 ft. pedestrian bridge, but actually I’m a 3,000 ft. magic trick – suspended in air by mere cables (and two really tall towers and a whole lotta something going on under the water), but other than that it’s all magic. For my next trick, since I’m the first walking bridge to connect two states, if you stand in just the right spot “POOF” you’re in two places at the same time. Take a photo and now you're "Bobbing"…trust me, it’s a thing. Like most bridges, I have a troll. At first, it was weird, but OMAR has become my true, blue friend. So get to know me (and OMAR) a little better. Check out my Vlog – I like to share visually. Learn all about me in the What About Bob section (read it now, before it becomes a major motion picture). Under Walk on Bob you’ll find out how to find me, and a list of places to get some grub that aren’t too far from me…I’m thoughtful like that. You can always chat with me on Twitter and Instagram!

The Homeowners Association of the Towns of Little Italy commissioned the sculpture "Stile di Famiglia" (Family Style), which is a restaurant term for serving food the way it would be at a big family dinner. It represents the feel for The Towns' neighborhood, which seems very fun, friendly, and close to each other, much like a family. I feel it represents the vibe of both the neighborhood and sculpture wonderfully and gives a nice nod to the Italian heritage in both the language and meaning.

I feel it represents the vibe of both the neighborhood and sculpture wonderfully and gives a nice nod to the Italian heritage in both the language and meaning.

WEATHER DRESS APPROPRIATELY

How to Dress for Winter in Nebraska. If you are just going to and from work most days, you can probably get by with minimal winter wear. A really good winter coat, some gloves, and a hat should serve you well. Layer - If I am going to be outside at all, I can’t sing the praises of layering enough. Not only can you stay warmer and more comfortable, but it’s also completely adjustable throughout your day! A pair of good boots is just so handy to have, as you never know what the weather will bring. And just when you get all your winter gear out, don’t be surprised to hit a gorgeous 70 degree day mid December where you’ll be ready to break out your flip flops!!! Ah, welcome to Nebraska! This is especially handy on days where it starts out frigid but warms up as the day goes on or if you are getting active and need to peel off layers as you heat up.

My favourite place to hang out on the patio in the Spring and Summer. The management, staff and guest's are some of the best in the Midwest!

Everything about this place is 100% ME and who I am! The mixology is off the chains, decor is amazing and the food is as locally sourced and procured as you can get. Their sister restaurant Pacific Eating House is also mentioned in this book!
