The Insider’s Guide
My first book, The Insider's Guide to Omaha and Lincoln, is the first nationally published travel guide written about the two cities. It includes my take on more than 150 restaurants, including many you've probably never heard of before. My "Insider's Picks" throughout the book include favorite thrift stores, dive bars and hangouts. It also has practical sections: one on where to stay when you're visiting and a second perfect for students or people relocating to Nebraska.

Matthew and I had been out and about six evenings last week. SIX. By the time Sunday rolled around, all I wanted to do was nothing. And that’s entirely what we did until 4 p.m. arrived and the brunch we’d … Continue reading
