  • Nebraska: A Day in Omaha - Travel Vlog | What to Do, See, & Eat in the Cornhusker State
    For state #33 in our journey to all 50 states in a year, we made our way to Nebraska! We only had one day to explore the Cornhusker State, so we focused our time on the largest city… Omaha! And while it is the largest city in the state, it’s not exactly the Manhattan of the Midwest. Don’t worry though, we managed to keep ourselves busy and entertained! From the excellent coffee at Archetype Coffee to the delicious Reuben Sandwich at Crescent Moon (home of the original Reuben Sandwich) to the world-class Henry Doorly Zoo to a bridge named “Bob”, we made the most of our short time in this midwest metropolis!
    Check out our “One Day in Omaha” travel itinerary for tips on planning your visit!

    We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
    What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
    This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.

    Love your guys energy! Subscribed to watch more adventures! As a Native of Omaha I have to point out one small detail that is easy to overlook not being from the area. The Crescent Moon Ale House (Awesome place) doesn't claim to be where the Rueben was invented (since it's only been around since 1996 I think, It was concocted at the Blackstone Hotel (Which is now the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel) which you actual look like you're standing in front of around the 14:15 mark of your video or so. Rueben Kulakofsky owned a grocery store and used to play weekly poker games at the hotel and asked for the ingredients to be assembled together for a sandwich. Hope you enjoyed Omaha! Lots more to see!!

    • @AdventuresofMattandNat
      @AdventuresofMattandNat  2 года назад +3

      Thanks so much Brandon! Yea... That was totally my bad (Matt). I MEANT to say that Crescent Moon was supposedly where the BEST Reuben Sandwich is since it's been voted the best in Omaha... Not where it was created. I'm kicking myself too, because I made sure to do my research ahead of time, but I got my info mixed up after a long day of filming! My apologies, and thanks for correcting it here! And for being kind about it! -Matt

      Omaha native here and an SOB (South Omaha Boy) and that is the story of the Reuben I know as well. I don't go downtown for nightlife so it was interesting to see a few things I wasn't aware of. It is impossible to capture Omaha, & NE in a day if you spend most of that time at our zoo because that is an all day stop by itself. AS we sit here in February I will add the zoo is great even during Winter as there is so much to do that is inside, & close together. You can hit the Jungle, Desert Dome/kingdom of the Night, Aquarium, & the Mutual of Omaha building all without being outside for over five minutes. I have nine kids, & the zoo is amazing for getting "outside" when we have cabin fever. There is nothing like the humidity of the jungle, or the heat of the desert to help brighten your mood.

      Not just one park, two other big connected parks in the downtown, and the new mutual of Omaha skyscraper and street carc route, as well as landscaped bridges to connect neighborhoods. Omaha is ditching the car centric vision of other cities and become a pedestrians paradise.

    Being from Omaha our zoo is definitely one of the best. The best thing about being local is having a zoo pass because it can take the whole day to see every single thing Henry Doorly has to offer. My family has made it our mission to go to the top 10 zoos in the US. We've been to six including the top 4 and personally non of them compare to our zoo. (PS the old sea lion exhibit used to be a public swimming pool!)
    I hope you guys went through the passage way in the Old Market!!
    The Gene Leahy Mall used to be beautiful especially at Christmas. It's so sad that they removed the sunken River and waterfall. I'm just glad they decided to keep the iconic slides.

    • @chrissyjoy08
      @chrissyjoy08 2 года назад +3

      Totally agree. Gene Leahy Mall was awesome! I miss the Christmas lights there and even other times of the year.
      Aksarben is very beautiful during Christmas though, as is midtown crossing down at 30th & Dodge/ Farnam.

    A few fun facts about the zoo:
    1) The Desert Dome has different levels of glass tint depending on height. This is to help regulate temperatures so it isn't too hot in the Summer and lets in more sunlight in the Winter to help heat the area.
    2) Beneath the Dome, in the Kingdoms of the Night exhibit, if you look closely in the corners you'll see spotlights. These are turned on at night to simulate daytime and flip the animals' circadian rhythms so they are active during the day (There aren't any windows so how would they know) when people are there.
    3) The Scott Aquarium is entirely open topped. The reason you can't see anybody up there is because they have extra vents from the A/C that blows lightly on the water to make a bunch of ripples. Every animal that gets introduced to the aquarium goes through a minimum 30 day quarantine before being introduced to the exhibit tanks.
    4) In the gorilla exhibit, the small, child level domes were originally meant to be open so kids could shake hands with the gorillas. Partway through construction, someone realized that letting a 400Lb animal grab a child was probably a bad idea. So they put in the plastic domes instead.

    The Reuben was invented in the Blackstone hotel, across from the crescent moon.
    Also, it definitely takes all day to get through our zoo.
    The old market is a hit and miss, definitely can get weirder at night...

    I actually spent a lot of time at the Crescent Moon as a kid in the 90's lol. My mom worked there so I would watch Disney movies downstairs with other kids. Haven't been there since 2011 though when I turned 21. The Henry Doorly Zoo has a sweet 2 day pass deal where your second day's ticket is discounted heavily. It's worth it considering how much there is to do there. Old Market is a great place to chill and hang out. Relaxing during the day and wild at night. You definitely stayed in the best part of town for tourism. College World Series season also gets crazy and fun. Zoo during the day, baseball at night. Omaha is real wide so there is lots of stuff to the west as well. But then you start hitting chain restaurants and 1000s of interchangeable sports bars. Westroads mall is pretty awesome though. Could have hit up Omaha Steaks and get it right from the source too but that's not a huge deal lol.

      Oh, that’s awesome! What fun memories! And that’s good to know about the zoo pass because there is so much to see and do there! We definitely enjoyed our visit. We definitely should’ve hit up Omaha Steaks just to say we did! Maybe next time! Thanks so much for watching, Matt!

      Located not far from Offutt AFB is a place called "Stellas".....If you want one of the best burgers you've ever had, that's the place. Also Dinkers as well. If you have time to make the drive to the SAC museum (which used to be located near base but now outside of town) I'd highly recommend for anyone enlisted or their family. Top 3 in US. Hope you enjoy!
