Enjoy fresh air, a little sun and something cold to drink.  Couple this with the atmosphere of Downtown Lincoln and the Historic Haymarket while discovering local outside eateries and you have the best of both worlds.  This summer, explore the area’s many sidewalk cafés.
 
Eating outdoors can be ideal for a quick bite between meetings or a relaxing dinner after a long day of work.  Many of the restaurants feature outdoor seating with shade ensuring you can enjoy your meal on even the warmest of days.

Downtown Lincoln and the Historic Haymarket offer a wide variety of options to those who would like to enjoy the outdoors as well as a great meal.  With options ranging from deli sandwiches to the perfect steak, there is something for everyone.  A meeting place to enjoy coffee with friends or a freshly brewed beer from one of several local breweries after work.  You can find what you are looking for.
