Check into your downtown hotel for a three night stay. After time to freshen up, enjoy dinner at Warren Buffett’s favorite Omaha steakhouse, Gorat’s and eat like a billionaire. Gorat’s is an old-school Italian steakhouse that has been in Omaha since 1944, and eating a meal here has become something of a pilgrimage for Berkshire shareholders and Buffett enthusiasts. You might want to try Buffett’s favorite meal, a T-bone steak, double order of hash browns and a Cherry Coke. You’ll also get a peek into Warren’s private dining space inside Gorat’s.

Following dinner, take a stroll down the streets of Omaha’s Dundee neighborhood and experience gourmet ice cream at its best. eCreamery serves unique flavors churned to perfection. Featured on the television show, Shark Tank, the mouth-watering ice cream has also been listed as one of Oprah’s favorite things. Billionaire Warren Buffet took Paul McCartney there when the music legend visited Omaha. Order Buffett’s favorite flavor, butter brickle, which by the way, was invented in … you guessed it, Omaha.
