Underwood Avenue is Dundee's front porch: a few tight blocks of independent kitchens between streetcar-era houses. The neighborhood was platted in the 1880s as one of Omaha's first suburbs, and the porches, brick, and trees still do as much work as the restaurants.

This stroll stays on Underwood, from a nonprofit dining room through coffee, ice cream, a century-old pub, handmade pasta, and coal-fired pizza. Elmwood Park is a beautiful walk of its own, south of Dodge Street, on the far side of the historic neighborhood line.

Dundee rewards a slow afternoon. Order something, walk half a block, and order something else.

The story

Dundee was platted in 1880 and developed as one of Omaha's first streetcar suburbs. The name comes from Dundee, Scotland. Warren Buffett has lived in the same Dundee house since 1958, purchased for $31,500. Happy Hollow Country Club (1907) and the historic Dundee Theater (1925, now a Film Streams location) anchor the neighborhood's century-old identity. Underwood Avenue's restaurant boom in the 2010s transformed a quiet residential strip into one of Omaha's top dining destinations.
