Blackstone - Omaha, NE Area Guide

This trendy neighborhood is truly golden.

Downtown Omaha Pedestrian-Friendly Universities Trendy Nightlife

If your idea of a great lunch is a Rueben sandwich and a beer, you'll love Omaha's Blackstone District. This is where the classic sandwich was first created, back in the 1920s, and where you can still sample the original at Crescent Moon (which also happens to be one of America's Top 100 Beer Bars four years running). Speaking of Beer, the Blackstone District is home to several famous breweries, including Farnam House Brewing and beer halls like Huber Haus. Aside from the Blackstone District's great food and beer, this neighborhood is highly walkable and filled with historic and trendy warehouses converted into lofts. Dating back to around 1880, the Blackstone District has always been an Omaha favorite, even earning the nickname "Gold coast" in the 1920s. Your Blackstone apartment will place you on the east side of downtown, directly south of Midtown. The Blackstone District is in the heart of Omaha, near some of its favorite destinations, including the Old Market, Creighton University, Joslyn Art Museum, and the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
