Located at 2234 S. 13th Street, is Sokol Omaha. Founded in 1862, Sokol is an organization dedicated to the physical, mental and cultural advancement of its members, and the children who attend its gymnasiums. For over 130 years, Sokol Omaha has been a pillar of the South Omaha community, providing excellent gymnastics training and facilities, while serving as a gathering place for wedding receptions, private parties, meetings, conventions and public events. In recent years, the Sokol Underground which is downstairs at Sokol Omaha, has become well known as a safe, nonsmoking hang out for young adults to listen and dance to live music. The Sokol Underground presents a musical genre of rock, alternative, pop, punk, metal and hard rock. The grand ballroom in the Hall is spectacular and may be rented by contacting Dan Rannels or Gary Masek at 402-346-9802. Happy Motoring!
Located at 1108 Howard Street, in the heart of Omaha’s Old Market, is Vivace Restaurant. Voted Omaha’s Best Italian Restaurant in 2008 by the Reader’s Choice “Best of the Big O”, Vivace has always been one of my personal favorites, for its combination of great food and great atmosphere. With exposed brick interior walls, lots of heavy oak wood furnishings and elegant table linens, Vivace has a classy and inviting appeal to its guests. The Tilapia and the Lasagna Bolognese are both very good dinner choices, and their menu includes other contemporary Italian fare. Vivace has an extensive selection of Italian wines, unrivaled in Omaha. Vivace has a party room that will handle group sizes up to 30 people, and they are open 7 days a week, serving lunch and dinner. Try their Sunday Brunch. Benvenuto e felice motoring!
