And re: hotels, the Southeast part of town has lots of people coming and going in its hotels due to railroad work…but Southwest Lincoln is probably more accessible due to it being close to where the west bypass drops folks off. Haymarket is centrally located but costs more and isn’t readily accessible on Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights.
I would say Engine House for breakfast. Mexican I would say El Cielito Lindo on 1st and o st. Lead Belly’s for their crab Rangoon dip. Let me know if need a date to any of them.
