Yummy pizza restaurant in downtown Papillion Nebraska and one of Josie's family favorites. We love to sit at the bar; have a cocktail or wine; struggle on whether to order the Whipped Ricotta, Illegal Cheese Bread or Wagu Beef Meatball appetizer; torn between the Chicken Cielo or Sweet Perfection pizza; share any of the salads to cancel the calories; and always leave wishing we would have tried Beer Cheese Soup or a candied rimmed milk shake. For big groups you may want to order take out and walk over to Twisted Vine but walk in and check on the seating.
Nebraska's staple fast food joint. Don't ask too many questions but just try it... "Cheese Runza, Frings, two sides of Ranch" and dip it all in.
Best dive bar in Downtown Papillion with the cheapest beer in the whole metro area. You'll run into a friend or at least make one before you leave. Play darts or wait your turn for table shuffle board. Josie's brother Cole lives a block away if you can't find your way home.

88 Tactical is so much more than a shooting range. Their website is a little confusing but they do take non-member reservations under the drop down menu under SHOOT. Check out their site and make a reservation or find the other activities they offer.
Okay, we may not sell you on the Nebraska wine but some of it is actually not to bad. The vineyard tasting room does offer some beers, cocktails, and small menu of food. They do have the most amazing rural sunset you can watch from their property that sits high on a hill looking over one of the South Sarpy valleys. Check their site for music and tasting events.
Upscale steakhouse with a full bar and a patio, plus an event center.
The most known and oldest icon to many traveling to the Omaha area. This district neighbors to a 72 acre urban park, The Heartland of America Park at the Riverfront. The bride's favorite things are M's Pub for their Thai flatbread and a glass of wine, Hollywood candy (vintage style candy shop), Ted & Walley's (Bride's favorite ice cream parlor). There is also a farmers market on Saturday mornings in the old market area which will be taking place during June. There are so many good restaurants and hidden gems throughout this area that are worth checking out!
72 Acres. 3 Parks. 1 Name. All having miles of connected walking paths, art, and events year round.
One of Old Markets Oldest restaurants and a menu for anyone. Most of their staff has been around for decades. We love to sit at the front corner of the bar, order a dirty martini, and enjoy the Thai Lahvosh or Escargot. Bigger parties are urged to make a reservation for dinner but lunch is usually easier for a drop in bite.
Just outside of Downtown Omaha this district resurged after many renovations in the last decade. Popular to the younger crowd in the late evenings but it really is for all ages. Great culinary scene with a few boutique shops peppered in.
Blackstone Districts best for tequila. They have top shelf and tequilas you may never heard of not to mention the best street tacos and guacamole. Sit near the front windows to enjoy the activity of the district and soak in the good natural light.
Located in the Blackstone District and big player in the redevelopment of the district. It is a must walk thru if you're in the area and love old architecture, speakeasy, and a couple restaurants. They even offer day passes to their outdoor POOL CLUB which is a cabana oasis in the summer. Watch their site in early spring to make your reservation before they all snatched up.
Get your top shelf drink and watch the best urban sunset in the Blackstone District.
