Q5: The desserts are still on our mind..... Where are your favorite places to indulge in a sweet, tasty dessert in the Midwest? Maybe you found cupcakes, bread pudding, or cookies... #MWTravelChat

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

@TravelWithSara @mwtravelnetwork @VisitMedora @NorthDakota Steak fondue? Yum!

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

My pick for pie in #lincoln is definitely #staufferscafe One place also included in my #100thingstodoinLincolnbeforeyoudie is #goldenrodpastries as they have gluten free desserts. Including pie sometimes.

Q4: Let's talk about dessert, specifically pie! Where have you found the BEST pie in the Midwest? #MWTravelChat

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

@Lazlos is actually Nebraska's oldest brewery pub (30 years strong!) That is one of the #100thingstodoinlincolnbeforeyoudie @ZiplineBrewing is another one that I recommend that you check out as they have tasting rooms!

After my book #100thingstodoinLincolnbeforeyoudie came out, a new Italian steakhouse opened up in #Lincoln I can't wait to try #casabovina which features #piedmontesebeef from the #mercato I have "herd" rave reviews. :-) #MWTravelChat

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

In my #historyloversguidetoLincoln book, I highlighted the history of @MistysLincolnNE This steakhouse definitely knows its way around a cut of beef. @historypress #steak #MWTravelChat

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

There are several great dining options where a person can find a great steak mentioned in my #100thingstodoinLincolnbeforeyoudie @reedypress book:
@LazlosBrewGrill
@Piedmontbistro
@TheSingleBarrel

Nebraska is the #beefstate after all

In my #100thingstodoinLincolnbeforeyoudie @reedypress book, I actually managed to include TWO pizza places as I picked @valentinospizza as my longest standing Lincoln dining tradition. So delicious! #MWTravelChat #pizza

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

I have eaten some great pizza across Nebraska, but today I am highlighting places from my #100thingstodoinLincolnbeforeyoudie @ReedyPress book. My pick for Lincoln's best pizza place? Lazzaris. I do believe that the crab rangoon pizza did it. #MWTravelChat

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]

Hanging out at home in Southeast Nebraska. Well, there isn't any snow on the ground. Sometimes we still have the white stuff in March, so that's something. But it is cold and rainy. Have my coffee ready, so I can chat this hour.

We have so many great @NEGameandParks locations! I would happily go to any of them. One place that is popular is @LakeMcConaughy If it is too chilly to explore outside, they have a great Water Interpretative Center

[Midwest Travel Network @mwtravelnetwork]

I agree that Toadstool Park is one of Nebraska's hidden gems!

[Postcard Jar @PostcardJar]

A5. We do! And parks are a great way to explore while still being safe! There are so many parks from which to choose, but we have to think that Toadstool Geologic Park in @NebraskaTourism is one of the coolest anywhere! https://t.co/VXR5WYs5oc #MWTravelChat

[Gretchen Garrison @NebraskaOdyssey]
