Blackstone packs a dining street into a few blocks of Farnam, in the shadow of the old Blackstone Hotel. A Reuben came out of that hotel kitchen in 1925. The building is a Kimpton now, and Crescent Moon still serves a version of the sandwich down the street.
Between them: Noli's pizza, Archetype coffee, Scriptown's brewery, Nite Owl's cocktails, and Mula. The blocks are short enough to park once and walk every reservation.
Farnam here is the neighborhood. The hotel, the patios, and the brick do the rest.

The story
Named for the Blackstone Hotel (1916), this stretch of Farnam once housed Omaha's grandest lodging. The hotel hosted JFK, Nixon, and celebrities during its heyday. After decades of decline, a massive revitalization beginning around 2015 transformed the district into Omaha's premier cocktail and dining destination. The Blackstone Social, Scriptown Brewing, and a wave of chef-driven restaurants catalyzed the comeback. The historic hotel itself reopened as the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel.
