It was one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever dined in. Â The food was good,occasionally great. Â Prices were high by Omaha standards. Â They never adapted to changing tastes, and they found themselves competing with many other expensive restaurants that had menus more familiar to the American palate.

So there is a skate shop on 13th Street just north of Jackson with no signage, anyone know how long it has been there?

Re: Old Market Tenant news
I am assuming you are referring to the building that was most recently a used furniture store. The current store, I believe has Van's signs in the window when I have walked by. I have seen it there for the past 2-3 months, but it seems like it is never open.iamjacobm wrote:So there is a skate shop on 13th Street just north of Jackson with no signage, anyone know how long it has been there?

Indian Oven closes, yet another staple of the district gone.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Another gorgeous restaurant with inconsistent (at best) food and service. I hope that a quality restaurant operation will take that space.iamjacobm wrote:Indian Oven closes, yet another staple of the district gone.
Re: Old Market Tenant news
When I went food and service were always good.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Been there a couple of times. Fair. Have to say that the OM has to compete with the whole city. In some genres, the OM will not be able to compete. People are just not going to drive from 180th and Pack a Lunch to eat Indian or Mexican when there are literally dozens of equivalent or better places on the way.nativeomahan wrote:Another gorgeous restaurant with inconsistent (at best) food and service.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Restaurants come and they go. It's sad to see it go, but then, we know that a new restaurant will come along to take its place. It's how the whole darn human comedy perpetuates itself. Westward the wagons across the sands of time. Shoot there I go rambling again.

Silo barely looks open. The only sign indicating its presence at 517 S. 13th Street is a small sticker that reads “SILO” in black, block letters. The sign, which sits slightly askew, is pasted on a glass door beneath a blank, gray marquee.
It’s intentionally vague. Enticingly exclusive. Silo, a skateboard shop which officially opened in June, doesn’t even list a telephone number.
“It’s almost like going back to beeper days,” says store owner, Brant Van Boening.

Speaking of 13th Street, local Omaha Photographer Scott Papek is going to open a gallery in the building south of Julio's. The building that use the be the adult store.
Looking at a Feb opening. He has already had a store in the Westroads Mall for the past 14+ months.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Noticed today that Old Market Sundries is moving into a shared space with Tannenbaum. Any idea if something new is going in the corner bay where Sundries was?
Re: Old Market Tenant news
Red Square moved out yesterday. New tenant has already claimed the space, but I am not sure who.

Red Square, as in that funky Russian nic-nac place on the SW corner right above OMA, that for years I would walk into and think how cute but never purchase anything? That Red Square?Brad wrote:Red Square moved out yesterday. New tenant has already claimed the space, but I am not sure who.
Re: Old Market Tenant news
I bought a cool T-34 t-shirt there... sort of a WWII history freak.
I always found it annoying that the shop was inaccessible from the passageway... what was up with that? Refused to participate in the passageway upkeep association or something?

Re: Old Market Tenant news
I always assumed it was a security deal. We have a fair amount of shop lifters in passageway, some work in groups and its had to keep an eye on everything.Stargazer wrote:I always found it annoying that the shop was inaccessible from the passageway... what was up with that?

Walked by today and the name of the new place is Dolci. It says Italian desserts, ice cream, coffee, and tea.skinzfan23 wrote:Noticed today that Old Market Sundries is moving into a shared space with Tannenbaum. Any idea if something new is going in the corner bay where Sundries was?

Pals for five decades unite for sweet taste of success with new dessert shop in Old Market
Called Dolci, which in Italian means sweets, the shop’s menu includes a wide range of flavored ice cream, espresso and Italian desserts such as tortes and biscotti whipped up by two local pastry chefs.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Sounds like Julios in the Old Market is closing. The building was recently sold. They are going to remain open through August 29. The Old Market location has been open since 1977. The west Omaha location will remain open.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
I use to like Julio's back in the 90's, their food was good even though the restaurants need a refresh even back then. I don't think they have refreshed their menu or the restaurants since 1977.skinzfan23 wrote:Sounds like Julios in the Old Market is closing. The building was recently sold.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
The Julio's out west got a rehab recently. I think the Flagship Geoup bought that one?

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Any word on what is going into the former Julio's location? Did they close because of business or because the building was purchased and their lease ran out?

Re: Old Market Tenant news
That place never changed or tried to set itself apart. Just a bar, no entertainment, ambience was meh. It was only a matter of time before it lost to more exciting competition.

I remember about 5-6 years ago it was quite popular. But there was no real draw to them. No unique feature. It was popular because it was cheap and it had very sociable bartenders.
Re: Old Market Tenant news
Something called Monster Club Pub and Grub going in here.
Re: Old Market Tenant news
Please no hip hop club! The world "club" just seems to bring trouble.
Re: Old Market Tenant news
Based on the appearance of the sign, I highly doubt that it will be.

Re: Old Market Tenant news
The Monster Club, a new horror-themed bar and grill, is headed to the Old Market
The restaurant is taking over the former O'Connor's space at 1217 Howard St., and will have the same owners as Drastic Plastic, said Neil Azevedo, Drastic's spokesperson.
The Monster Club will be horror-themed, he said, not a haunted house.
"It's going to be more of a museum experience, with different sorts of props honoring the fun element of horror over the years."
He said statues and posters, among other ephemera, will decorate the space. The owners plan to serve a family-friendly menu of "elevated pub food," and then, after 9 p.m. gear toward adults. The restaurant will serve a full menu.
Re: Old Market Tenant news
If the staff are not in monster outfits, ie. warewolves, vampires, Frankenstein's monsters, mummies, etc., it's a huge missed opportunity to make it really stand out considering their theme.skinzfan23 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 3:38 pm

Re: Old Market Tenant news
Agreed. My brother used to date a local actress who played Lucille Ball as a waitress in an Old Market restaurant. Inevitably she would get orders wrong and do her best acting. Other local actors would also play parts... I forget what place that was, this would have been late 80's.
