What do you like about Omaha and what are your favorite secret spots? My favorite thing about Omaha has got to be the food scene. There are so many great restaurants all across the city. My favorite recommendations are Block 16 and Salween Thai. It may not be a ‘secret spot’ for Omaha, but Gene Leahy Mall in downtown is a great place to check out!
