We’re already mid-January?! That must be why the city’s buzzing with good stuff: warm plates, new places, and ways to shake off the winter blahs.

There’s a new supermercado on L Street serving up fresh pastries and horchata, a board game café where strangers feel like friends, and one very adoptable corgi who’s stealing hearts (and probably socks).

If you needed a sign to get out and enjoy what Omaha’s offering, this is it. See you out there!

In today’s Scoop:

  • 🛒 A Fresh Flavor Arrives

  • Makers, Meet Your Muse

  • 🧩 Gather, Play, Then Brunch

The Gist: The New Year brings something new to South Omaha. SpartanNash has opened a small-format Supermercado Nuestra Familia at 2323 L Street, offering big flavor in a quick, easy-to-shop space. Inside, you will find a full-service carnicería, fresh pastries, aguas frescas, horchata, and an expanded bakery filled with favorites like tres leches cake and flan. It is designed for everyday stops without losing the warmth and culture locals expect.

Why It Matters: Right near schools and on a bus route, this market makes culturally familiar groceries more accessible for the neighborhood. The opening includes community celebrations and a $5,000 donation to South High School.
