101 Things to Do in Lincoln

[darkhorse85]

The wine sucks but the people are nice and the place is fun to visit.

 

The vineyard is great. I just can't stomach their wine. Too sweet.

Deer Springs was actually good wine and a cozy little atmosphere.

I've done 20 of those, but I only lived in Lincoln for 4 years during college.

Yeah, I haven't even tried their wine for a long time. And it's pretty pricey, especially for the quality. What's weird is, they've won a bunch of awards.

24 - Except for one year in '92 I haven't lived in Lincoln since '84. I haven't heard of most of the restaurants. I did eat a Runza at the original Runza on the corner of Pioneers and Van Dorn on the way to Pioneer's Park

Only 24, but to be fair I wasn't 21 when I lived there.

 

I'm intrigued by this Yia Yia's, tell me more.

 

It's crap pizza. I make much better pies at home.

 

 

No, it's not. No, you don't.

 

 

Anyhow, I love Yia Yia's but I can't figure out why they serve a hunk of bread with their pizza. a) it's not that good and b) we're already eating pizza so why do we need it?

[JJ Husker]

I've only done 18 on that list but, I only lived in Lincoln from 1981 to 1986. Most of those didn't exist then.

 

So, is Lee's Chicken still open? Loved that place.

Because one slice of pizza isn't that filling, I guess. And it's good, basic bread. Nothing special, but it's yummy with salty butter.

 

Ask for parmesan when you pick up your pizza. It's good on the bread, too.

With Red Dead Redemption's additions to the list I add 6 more, making my total 24. Who's slightly less pathetic now?
