Omaha | TicketBarato
A vibrant, thriving city with a promising future and a rich past, Omaha is a model for American cities. Omaha boasts many rare accomplishments while distinguishing itself as a city with an active plan for the future. While many of the city's Western neighborhoods are rapidly expanding, the city's downtown is equally bustling during an exciting transformation.
While not a major destination city, those who find themselves in Omaha will find attractions, great restaurants, and friendly people. The Henry Doorly Zoo is first-rate, with an indoor jungle, indoor desert, a night creatures walk-through under the desert, a large walk-through aquarium with sharks, and a new gorilla house. The Air and Space Museum in nearby Ashland offers a look at USAF aircraft from what was once the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Base, among other displays. Boys Town is now Girls and Boys Town, with its own museum that recalls the days of Father Flanagan and keeps the Oscar for the namesake movie that starred Mickey Rooney.
Restaurants are well-supported by locals, and it's not all just great Nebraska steakhouses. Among the usual chains, some locally-run favorites are Gorat's (Warren Buffet's favorite; he lives nearby), Angies, Angelo's, Caniglia's, and the French Cafe. The Old Market district between downtown and the Missouri River offers boutiques and more restaurants in a turn-of-the-century atmosphere, complete with its original brick streets.
