Walk to Hook and Lime for a casual lunch. This Mexican restaurant is a short walk from the headquarters and offers a relaxed atmosphere for a midday meal. It is open until 9 PM on weekdays and 10 PM on weekends, making it a reliable spot for lunch.

Head to The RiverFront. This urban park stretches along the Missouri River and replaced the older Gene Leahy Mall. It is a pleasant place to stroll, with greenspace and views of the river. The walk from Hook and Lime is short, and the park is open to the public.

Find a spot along The RiverFront to watch the sunset. On April 15, the sun sets toward the WNW at 20:03. The park’s orientation and open space provide a clear view of the sunset over the river, creating a peaceful end to your afternoon.
Local tip
The RiverFront is a modern addition to Omaha’s riverfront, offering a clean and accessible path for walking. Check the weather before you go, as the open space along the river can be windy.
