For antique lovers, there’s no better way to spend a day than poking through thousands of unique finds and going home with some new (old) treasures. But all that shopping takes a lot out of you, so what are you to do when you suddenly run out of steam in the middle of your shopping day? At one Nebraska antique store, you can pause for a bite to eat without ever leaving the building.
Located almost exactly between Omaha and Lincoln, Platte Valley Antique Mall is a favorite destination of antique hunters, pickers, and folks who enjoy a good day-long shopping excursion.
No matter what you're into, you can bet that there's at least one vendor here with just what you're looking for. No two visits are ever the same because the inventory is constantly changing.
When you get a bit peckish after all that shopping, head to the Platteapus Cafe and Pub. The neat little dining room looks a lot like the other country cafes that you'll find all around Nebraska.
The menu is varied enough to satisfy just about everyone. The savory, perfectly cooked roast beef sandwich is probably the most popular item on the menu, and it's totally worth a try.
You can also grab a drink to go with your meal or snack. Their bloody mary is one of the best in the state, and it's affordable enough that you can even pick up the tab for the friends you're shopping with.
By the time you've shopped, had a meal, and shopped some more, you'll no doubt be worn out and ready to go home to admire your new treasures. You'll be planning your next visit before you know it!
