Eat

Omaha and much of Nebraska are known for high quality corn-fed beef. Below are a selection of locations to eat in Omaha.

• Katie's, home-style greek food. This is one of the places we go whenever we return to Omaha. (Local, $9 per person, mid-town).
• Venice Inn (http://local.google.com/local?q=Venice+Inn_+Omaha+NE&btnG=Search&sll=41.258611_-95.937500&sspn=0.197180_0.225906&f=q&hl=en&latlng=41258611,-95937500,9733908136138930044), Italian food in a kind of surreal atmosphere. Good food. (Local, $12 per person, west).
• Mister C's (http://www.mistercs.com/), Italian food in a kind of surreal atmosphere. I describe Mister C's as like having dinner with Hunter S. Thompson in Venice at Christmas. Good food, but environment is the reason to eat here. Same owner as Venice Inn. (Local, $12 per person, west)
• The French Cafe (http://www.frenchcafe.com/), french food, particularly known for their pepper steak. (Local, $15 per person, down town).
• The Diner, classic American-style diner in Downtown area.
• Jaipur, Indian food. (Local, $12 per person, west)
• The Garden Cafe, American cafe food. Years ago they had the best "Omaha Hot Beef" sandwich and they advertised with the slogan, "We Love Food". Since then the ownership has changed and it's clear from what they serve that they no longer, "Love Food". The baking is still good, but the rest is not much better than truck stop faire. (Local chain, $9 per person, multiple locations)
