Escaping to Omaha for a weekend offers a city steeped in youthful exuberance. Mainstream art is interwoven with street art and greasy spoon eateries are enjoyed alongside one of America’s finest restaurants. In fact, Omaha is worth visiting just for the experience of eating at The Grey Plume. Coupled with newly opened bike paths and quirky local traditions such as “Bobbing” (or taking a picture of yourself on the Bob Bridge standing between Nebraska and Iowa), it is a great destination for a weekend jaunt.
