The Blackstone District, as a neighborhood, is a nice little area of businesses, eateries, and…read morebars. I love that everything is so close together, so that it is easily walkable once you find a parking place (which speaking of that, can be a little hard to come upon a parking spot!) But once you DO find a parking spot or get dropped off, there are so many places to go and eat and drink and hang out. Our favorites are Nite Owl, Crescent Moon, First Round, Scriptown, and Mula. I do think there is a premium on food and drinks, when it comes to Blackstone. Could you get a cheaper drink elsewhere in town? I think so, but you're paying that extra cost, I think, to be in a district with lots of different places to check out instead of staying in one place with one menu. I have a few friends who live in the Blackstone District, and that's also not an inexpensive housing area to look at when house hunting. But they do love the easy access to a lot of businesses. Right now it's HEAVILY under construction and it can be very hard to find a place to park and then walk to your destination. Some places have even CLOSED because of the construction messing up the access to their buildings, unfortunately. Overall, I think Blackstone is a nice little spot with some good businesses. I hope it doesn't go the way of Midtown Crossing where they added a bunch of business and then it kind of went downhill and places ended up closed (aside from the construction woes) and it ends up kind of a ghost town. But for now, Blackstone is a hip little area to check out, definitely!

I love this local pocket of businesses on Farnam. There is something for everyone from hair salons,…read moreto yoga, to coffee, bars and restaurants, games and fun. If you're looking for something to any night of the week (even mondays) Blackstone is where to go. They recently had a construction project hurt a lot of business so it's more important than ever now to get out and support all these awesome beloved businesses.

The sales associates were so helpful in assisting me to find a great pair of barrel jeans. I walked away with a couple of items I love. My only reason for 4 stars is because the Pistola jeans I purchased would have been $188 if I bought directly from the site...they were $208 at Novelle Eve. I love supporting a local business, especially a staple like this so I will be back, but might double check some of the price points before hitting the register :-)

I have mixed reviews about this store. Their clothing items are very cute and I loved several…read moreitems. However, I found the customer service to be very rude. I am an African American female in my late 20's. I entered the store and despite being the only person besides the worker in the store I was not greeted. The store was silent, with no music on and the worker didn't once come up to me to ask if I needed any help. However, when a white customer walked in the door she was promptly greeted with a hello and asked if she needed any help. I had found an item I wanted to try on and the worker saw me carrying this item and never asked if I wanted to try it on. I then was forced to try to coat on without a fitting room. AFTER fully trying it on and taking it off, the worker comes up and asks me if I want to try it on. I then told her that was no longer necessary. I am extremely disappointed in the service I received. I am not a person to assume my maltreatment is due to race, however the fact that a white customer received immediate treatment does raise suspicion. I would recommend this store address implicit bias as to their customers.

The store always has something fun to browse, and a wide selection of vintage. It can be a bit pricey, especially when clothes are used and sometimes have stains or holes, but there are still some great finds, especially in mens wear. I have gone shopping for my boyfriend and found great pieces for him there, but the women's section is more lacking. It is still a great place to browse and at least enjoy the aesthetics and fun knick knacks they have!

This big shop has been a fixture of Omaha's Old Market for many years…read more It's a beautiful space filled with amazing leather and fur products. I have to admit that the prices here are out of my normal range for jackets, mittens, etc. I don't think they are probably overpriced, it's just that things of these materials and quality are expensive. I came here to get some sheepskin slippers. At $119 they are among the lowest-priced items here. Still - to me, they are worth it. I know they will last a long time and are soooo cozy and comfortable. Slippers from other places might cost half as much, but these slippers are way more than twice as nice. The online selection is broader than the in-store stock. The slippers are available in other colors on the website but only the natural color is in the store. I admit, when I got these slippers home, there was a seam in the right slipper that rubbed against my little toe. So I did go back to exchange them and the staff were fantastic about making this exchange super easy, and they made sure the new slippers didn't have that defect. They encouraged me to bring these ones back if I was less than 100% satisfied. I am wearing them now and I can verify I am 100% satisfied.

Sometimes a little higher than you would find at a larger supermarket...but you won't find a larger supermarket in this part of town! It's in the Brandeis Building, and to not distract from the majesty, the signage is kept small and vague, so you may not realize the Dollar General goodness available here. I have noticed a few expired items on the shelves, thus the 4-star review.

Prices have been pretty low for the items I have come in for, and a lot of the merchandise is pretty cheap. There are other items that seem more expensive than what they would cost at a Target or wherever. And you might want to go elsewhere to get better-quality items. But I can walk to Family Dollar and I'm glad to have it here. Unfortunately, since we are in a "food desert" downtown area, you won't find any fresh fruits or vegetables here. There is a small section of frozen food. There are a lot of non perishable food choices but I would probably not come here to do "grocery shopping". Though there is actually a produce store a little walk south of here on 13th so that could fill out the rest. The staff have always been really nice, greeting me as I walk in, and have been very patient with customers I have seen who were a little...difficult. It's a hard job for sure! The store is probably a little understaffed...like everywhere is now, so some areas might be a little disheveled. It is ok!
