advise on must sees and charlies on the river

We have enjoyed visiting Boy%26#39;s Town which is on Dodge and the 144th area. Omaha%26#39;s chamber of commerce web site also lists some other ideas so you could plan according to your interests. When you pull up their site type in tourism in the search engine.

I have never been to Charlie%26#39;s On the River so can%26#39;t be of any help on that subject.

I think you are talking about Charlie%26#39;s on the Lake. I%26#39;ve been there once for lunch during my last visit (actually heading back this week to visit a friend), and it was excellent. I really enjoyed it. The menu has a little bit of everything, from steak to seafood to pasta. So it tends to make everybody happy. A lot of locals eat there.

If you want to sample some of the best Omaha steak, head to Gorat%26#39;s. They serve up some great beef: It%26#39;s kind of an Omaha tradition. Try: www.goratssteakhouse.com.

Probably one of the best places to head is the Old Market downtown. It%26#39;s a nice area to walk around and has a variety of clubs, restaurants, shops, etc. I enjoyed the Upstream Brewing Company a lot, nice atmosphere and casual. For something upscale, the French Cafe is excellent. There%26#39;s usually ample parking around there. Here%26#39;s a link to help: www.oldmarket.com.

Also downtown is the Durham Western Heritage Museum, housed in the former Union Pacific train station. It has a lot of history about Omaha and I loved how they restored the building. Try: www.dwhm.org/

Hope that helps! Have a great time.

Charlies on the River was the same restaurant as Charlies on the Lake. It was located on Maple, but recently closed.

The Holland Center is right downtown, within a few blocks of the Old Market. I suggest heading over to the Market after the show- there are always a lot of people about and it is fun to visit the shops and bars and just ';hang';. There are plenty of good places to eat as well. They also have carriage rides. Take a jacket, tho. The nights are getting chilly!!

If you are downtown before the show, make time to take a stroll along the riverfront- it is very safe, well-lit, and just a pleasant place to walk around- Rick%26#39;s Boatyard Cafe is right next to the river- it is a poular large, upscale establishment.

Have fun!
