The finish line puts you steps from downtown Omaha’s best restaurants and some of the city’s nicest outdoor spaces. Here’s where to go.
The Old Market is a five-minute drive from the finish line and Omaha’s most walkable dining neighborhood.
Le Bouillon is a French bistro with small plates and a patio ideal for post-race lingering.
Upstream Brewing Company offers house-brewed beers and a menu with something for every appetite, including pasta and burgers.
M’s Pub has been a fixture in the Old Market since 1972, known for its wine list and reliable comfort food. Jackson Street Tavern has a nice patio and a big menu. The Boiler Room is a destination for an upscale dinner.
Nearby, The RiverFront offers 72 acres of green space to stretch out and enjoy the June weather. Check out a toy boat from the boat cart (Sundays only) and speed around the Boat Cove. Or just play a casual game of frisbee.
Midtown Crossing’s Turner Park is about 2 miles from downtown. Park yourself in an Adirondack chair (each hand-painted one a work of art) or unfold a blanket on the green lawn for a much-needed rest.
Grab pizza at Ray’s Pizza and Wings or Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom, Latin food at Pa Mas, Mediterranean at Mazza or sandwiches at Pickleman’s. Proof has craft cocktails; Base Kamp and Chateau Vin have wine; and Thirst-Tea Café has bubble tea. Treat yourself to a post-race pedicure at Garbo’s.
Another nearby option (you’ve likely covered enough mileage today) is the Blackstone neighborhood, which offers even more dining, drinking and entertainment options. Think tacos, ramen, craft cocktails, ice cream, Reuben sandwiches and karaoke.
Then head back to your nearby hotel for a good night’s rest. Whether you raced or watched, you’ve earned sweet dreams in Omaha.
