π€ August Local Favorites β Birthday Month Edition! πβ¨
August was my birthday month, which meant lots of eating, drinking, shopping and celebrating β but the best part was doing it ALL LOCAL. Here are a few of the Omaha spots that made my month!
π Set The Bar β
Nebraskaβs first womenβs sports bar and such a great addition to Benson. If you havenβt been yet, check it out for the next Nebraska game! Great food, drinks, TVs and an atmosphere made for watching sports.
πΆ Omaha Dog Bar β
Hands down my dogβs favorite spot in town β and pretty great for the humans too. π Off-leash play for the pups, a full bar + snacks for us, and Bark Rangers keeping an eye on everything. They also provide doggy daycare as well!
π Avoli Osteria β
Where I had my birthday dinner this year! Housemade pasta, an extensive w**e list and that intimate Dundee atmosphere. Exactly what I wanted for a birthday dinner. π€
β Hardy Coffee Co. β
One of those Omaha staples I keep coming back to. Great locally roasted coffee, pastries and multiple locations around town. This month I stopped into their N. 30th Street location!
π· Idle W**e & Goods β
Such a fun Little Bohemia stop with a great selection of w**es and curated goods. Plus, itβs right next to Lumen B**r Co. and B**rcade, so you can easily make an afternoon or evening out of the neighborhood.
π½οΈ Clio β
One of my favorite restaurants from Flagship Restaurant Group! The second you walk in, the beautiful Mediterranean-inspired space takes me right back to Santorini, Greece. Amazing food, gorgeous atmosphere and definitely one of my favorite Old Market spots.
π§ββοΈ Ananda Omaha β .omaha
My favorite yoga studio in town in the cozy basement of a building on 49th and Dodge in Dundee. The space has such a calming energy, the instructors are welcoming, and itβs one of my favorite places to move, reset and recharge.
π Stoysich House of Sausage
My go-to local butcher. Ken has owned this Omaha staple for decades, and they make 100+ sausages in house along with fresh meats and so much more. And if you go, you HAVE to try their award-winning dried beef!
