Just want to say that it's worth navigating the street car construction in the Blackstone District. I went to Artemis Tea & Botanical for the first time this past weekend for a mahjong event and I was blown away by the menu and the gorgeous decor. I didn't get pictures of it, but they have a lovely patio, too.

Make it 96 degrees with excessive humidity and you’ve got Nebraska this week. 🥵

I don’t even care how sweaty and gross I am, I’m not taking this hoodie off today. This is a protest hoodie.

There's no place quite like Felius Cat Cafe & Rescue in Omaha. It's a nonprofit coffee shop where you can hang out with friends that also happens to have a cat playroom. You can meet and play with adoptable cats! It's as laid back and chill as any coffee shop, with the added bonus of cats.

📍 5015 Dodge St. in Dundee
📲 Cat playtimes can be booked online at felius.org (proceeds benefit the rescue mission)

Thank you to Felius Cat Cafe & Rescue for sponsoring this Reel!
