“Take a lunch break to digest what you’ve seen in the morning, before touring the rest of the developments,” Nancy Boe of CBSHome representing Dunsany Flats suggests. She recommends staying Downtown area for dinner. The Omaha Symphony is playing at the Holland Center, the Ringling Barnum and Bailey Circus is at the Qwest, Taste of Omaha continues until 11 p.m., and the Capitol District, the Old Market and the Slowdown always have entertainment.”

“We encourage the ‘tourists’ to plan to spend the entire day in the area. This is a good way to get a feel for what living downtown is like,” said Chris Redfield of jLofts. “There are a lot of great events in the area every weekend all summer. Taste of Omaha and Nebraska Children’s Home’s Sand in the City are two of the downtown activities, in addition to the weekly Farmer’s Market.”
