Ivanna Cone

Who doesn’t like ice cream? Ivanna cone has it. They have some traditional favorites but they really stand out with all the creative flavors that rotate through. They are within walking distance if you just had dinner in the Haymarket and have a really cool atmosphere inside. I love getting a waffle cone with a couple flavors and … Continue reading "Ivanna Cone"




The Oven Cellar

I would assume (almost) everybody in Lincoln knows about The Oven. It’s a great place to get Indian in Lincoln. But I’m not sure everybody knows about the Cellar below The Oven.

While it might be unfair relative to the small operation and silly blog lists like this one, it’s to the benefit of you, the patron. The entire complex reminds … Continue reading "Casa Bovina"

Zipline Brewing

Zipline just does it better than anyone else in the state. I’d even put them up against pretty much any other brewery I’ve been to. They have awards to back that feeling up, including a Great American Beer Festival 2015 and 2021. The gold medal beer was also the first Zipline beer I ever had … Continue reading "Zipline Brewing"
