Nice area! I visited on a frigid winter day, so there were not a lot of people out and about, but I nevertheless enjoyed my time in this area of the city and anticipate that on a nice spring, summer, or fall day the area would be even better. Cool architecture--a lot of pretty warehouse-style buildings that are well-preserved. The area is easily explored in about half a day. It's a nice concentration of local businesses, restaurants, and hotels. I liked that there were not very many chains, and some of the stores had quirky character. There were a lot of appealing dining options, ranging from craft breweries with casual atmospheres to some fancier places with beautiful dining rooms. A nice mix of cuisines, too--Mexican, Asian, seafood, steak, etc. And some coffee shops, too. Definitely a great place to check out when in Omaha and, have to say, a neighborhood of this character was a pleasant surprise for this business traveler, even on a cold winter day!

We liked this area for waking, looking at architecture and the preserved historical buildings were enjoyable to see. Lots of restaurants in the area with not much in the way of shopping. Weather was perfect for evening walking.

We flew in from Michigan to see John Melloncamp at the Orpheum theater. Never been to Nebraska, never wanted to. Friends razzed us for wasting our time coming here. Well let me tell you, Omaha is a great place. Shopping, restaurants, parks, museums, we could not do or see everything in three days. The city is clean, feels very safe. Spread the word, Omaha is fun!

This was basically number one on the things to do in Omaha list so we had to see it. It’s a really nice area with lots of shops and restaurants. There are a good variety of little shops. My favorite was the Christmas shop. Parking is metered but wasn’t too bad price wise. My only gripe was that the maps were a little confusing. We were looking for a certain shop and where it was on the map didn’t exactly match up with the real streets. It’s a nice area to walk around for sure though.

There was so much to do all packed in a very walkable distance. I stayed at the Hyatt Place in the Market. There was a wonderful ice cream shop, Ted & Wally's, directly across the street. On the other corner were three Breweries and one also had a distillery. On the other corner was the Hollywood Candy Company. Please don't assume it was rinky dink, oh no it was Walmart super center size plus. I'm fairly sure you haven't seen anything like it. The Durham Museum totally blew my mind. I was there about four hours and still missed reading some of the exhibits. It is huge. Most fascinating is they have a signed letter from Charles Dickens. Walking on the Bob Kerry Bridge from Nebraska to Iowa was not only unique and interesting but fun also. That being said I would highly recommend you go see for yourself. However, I believe Nebraska should stop saying Nebraska isn't for everyone. It was definitely for this person.

We literally went there every day during our stay and tried restaurants ranging from luxury to bargain, tourist to upscale. Spend some time in the huge park called Gene Leahy Mall (not a retail mall) at the Riverfront, which is adjacent to Old Market. We loved upscale V. Mertz restaurant in The Passage for a special event dinner. We also had meals at Jam's--touristy but lots of choices on the menu; Tupelo Honey, Southern inspired food with some modern touches; Twisted Fork Grill and Bar, also touristy but with great outside seating to enjoy the view. It's a fun place to walk, a renovated old warehouse and manufacturing district, and you can read about or ask about the history of the various buildings. Lots of security on weekend nights but we never felt unsafe walking.

Fun part of town with many restaurants and interesting shops. The area is safe and very walkable with many hotels nearby. Street musicians add to the char,. A fun place to psend a relaxing evening.

Plenty of places to eat and enjoy an adult beverage, but not a ton in the way of shopping. Some places are not open on Monday or Tuesday and several places don’t open up till the afternoon, so check hours of operation before you go. I recommend Upstate Brewing Company for a meal and beer flight while you watch a game. It is open 7 days a week and offered some of the best food we had while in Omaha! You can walk here from some of the hotels in the area, such as the Embassy Suites. The Old Candy shop just across from the Embassy Suites offers chocolates, jelly bellies and delicious soft serve ice cream.

Great historic area! We enjoyed our time browsing around the Old Market District. Many boutiques, shops and galleries, restaurants and local pubs, cafes and jazz clubs make the Old Market a favorite stop when visiting Omaha. We walked around to check out the area for 2 hours before having our late lunch at Mouth Of The South - Old Market. Easy parking.

Fun place to visit. Great shops and variety of eating places. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Family friendly places to eat and visit. Must hit the candy shops!
