One of my favorite places to go to on Friday nights in Sidney is Stewie’s. For a smaller town, it amazes me how packed the bar will be on a Friday night. The music is always loud enough that it reminds me of being in a bar in Lincoln. The staff and especially Stewie himself are extremely friendly and definitely work their ends off to get you a drink as fast as you can pay for it. So, if you ever find yourself in Sidney, Nebraska on a Friday night then get to Stewie’s and have a drink with me!
I am a pizza lover and the past couple of years I have grown to love Sam and Louie’s pizza. It is a small pizza chain that started in Omaha, but has continued to grow. I respect the company for helping smaller communities in Nebraska to grow by placing restaurants in other Nebraska towns and not just Omaha and Lincoln. I moved to Sidney, Nebraska a few months ago and I was like a kid in a candy shop when I saw there was a location in town.
The pizza is thin crusted, which helps you taste more of the sauce and toppings and not a lot of bread. One of my other favorite things to get is their cheese bread with spinach dip. I love how the environment of the restaurant feels like you are in a pizzeria and not just any kind of food restaurant. Just like the downtown Sidney and downtown Lincoln location I think the brick gives the environment more vibes of feeling like you are in an old fashioned style pizzeria.
Sam and Louie’s can be found in these towns across Nebraska: Alliance, Beatrice, Blair, Bellevue, Elkhorn, Grand Island, Lincoln, Omaha, Seward and Sidney. Next time you are in one of these towns, I recommend you look up directions to Sam and Louie’s and go have a great slice of pizza for lunch or dinner.
One of my friends that I used to work with found out a few months that she had a brain tumor and had to undergo surgery to get it removed. At the age of 24, she is one of the strongest persons I know. She is from Crawford, Nebraska and continues to live life to the fullest. I believe she has been a true reflection of not letting anything get to you, just take life as it comes and fight through the obstacles at hand.

I encourage all my supporters to help her out and share Lenita’s story with everyone you know, so others out there with the same story can be heard and a cure for cancer can be found.

Oh happy Friday, it’s a great night and I am enjoying a night at home with some in my glass that I got from Mac’s Creek Winery and Vineyards in Lexington, NE. I visited the winery back at the end of August and enjoyed my short visit.
Something that was different about this winery was how the vineyards came all the way up to their back deck. The green vineyards right next to their light tan building is beautiful. I believe it is a great place for a date, whether it is a first dance or a 25th wedding anniversary date, it is well worth the drive to Lexington.
I want to make a trip back to Mac’s this summer and enjoy an afternoon of sitting on their deck and drinking a few glasses of wine and I hope everyone reading this post will decide to join me as well!
One of the little things I have always enjoyed about living in Nebraska is driving down interstate 80 and other main highways. There is nothing more stress free than driving out in the country with wide open fields and herds of cattle every few miles. Driving gives me a chance to think and a time to rock out to music. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter where I end up and sometimes it makes an adventure better when you don’t have a set destination and can just get in the car and drive.
I like what I have developed my blog into. I like my theme of traveling and talking about small businesses in Nebraska. My number one resolution for 2013 is to blog more than I have in 2012. I appreciate the support from everyone. If you have an event, small business or something about Nebraska you would like to share with me and would like me advertise it through my blog, please contact me and let me know.
Here is to a good 2013! Let’s keep Nebraska and America going strong with what we have already built.
My favorite kind of gift giving is a gift card along with a little gift for the home or personal use. I have discovered a shop in Sidney, Nebraska called Accents Home Decor. They have a wide variety of cute gifts from WillowTree to baby gifts to decorations for the holidays.
Accents has so many cute things for either Christmas gifts or birthday gifts. I find a lot of the stuff they carry come from original and creative people that have their own small business making things for a home or gift buying. Not everything in the store is Nebraska made, but it is nice to see the creative things people create from other parts of the country.
Now that I live in Sidney I know I will be shopping at Accents more often for gifts and home decor!
If you are a wine lover then this is one place you need to put on your yearly bucket list. Located in downtown Lewellan, Nebraska there are about 6 different wines you can taste. My favorite was the chokecherry which I learned is a native fruit and not many wineries in eastern Nebraska make wines with chokecherry.
For only $20 I had to get myself a bottle. If you need a good Christmas gift or a good drink to take to a Christmas party then be sure to make it to Lewellan and get a bottle.
I had a pleasant afternoon chatting with the owner and she really makes her winery feel like you are drinking in the comfort of your own home.
