Toast of the Coast
Midtown Crossing will welcome a new tenant in April. Della Costa will be a seafood-inspired Mediterranean concept restaurant. The establishment will occupy the lot recently vacated by Brix at 220 S. 31st Ave. Owned by former M’s Pub partner and current Herbe Sainte co-owner Ron Samuelson, Della Costa translates to “of the coast” and will feature seafood interpreted into Moroccan, Spanish, Italian, and French dishes.
T.R.E.A.M On

Boho Rice and Market House
Construction is well under way at Market House, and Nick Bartholomew is anxious to get his team back together under one roof. While he patiently waits, he continues in his pursuit to bring quality flavors to Omaha’s foodscape. We first told you about Barholomew’s vision in August of 2016. The long-awaited fried rice shack “Boho Rice” will be opening in April, and is just one piece of the development pie taking place in Little Bohemia. The Reader is excited to witness the rebirth of the neighborhood!
