pop-we Dinner Club Reviews Pink Poodle Steakhouse

Top Sirloin meal at Pink Poodle.

Just east of Omaha, across the Missouri River in Crescent, Iowa you will find the Pink Poodle Steakhouse that has been open since 1964. The location has had many things on the property since the 1940s: a house, a bar, a hotel and a tavern. Though the property has had two disasters a fire and a tornado, the wood arches that make up the cathedral ceiling are original. When you arrive at 633 Old Lincoln Highway, as you walk in the door you notice a large open room, with a couple old player piano’s to the left and a bar area in the middle of the room.

Tonight I had had the Top Sirloin for $17.95, which comes with a potato (I had hash browns), soup, salad, bread and they offer free refills. The steak was good sized, cooked to a nice pink medium and juicy. They offer two soups of the day, except for Monday as they are closed. The night we were there it was Potato that was good with large chunks of potato and a savory broth. The complimentary bread is homemade that everyone liked, as we had to keep asking for more. 

Beck ordered the Alaskan King Crab Legs (8oz.) with baked potato for $17.50. When they bring out the crab legs they also bring out a stand with the small candle to keep the butter warm for dipping the crab meat in. She really enjoys the crab legs and for the price you cannot go wrong. Check out http://www.pinkpoodlesteakhouse.com/pgsv2/dinner.htm for more information regarding Pink Poodle’s menu.

Nebraska AIDS Project Presents 20th Anniversary Event Dec. 1

Hundreds of people are expected to dance and raise money to support the work being done by Nebraska AIDS Project (NAP) on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 9 a.m. to midnight.

Attendees this year will be honoring the gala’s 20th anniversary at the historic Magnolia Hotel, 1615 Howard St.

This gala event has helped raise more than $3,000,000 to meet the needs of people with HIV/AIDS and their families across Nebraska, southwest Iowa and eastern Wyoming. Nearly 1,000 people living with the diagnosis receive help from Nebraska AIDS Project every year. The organization also provides confidential testing of sexually transmitted diseases in response to an alarming rate of infection in our community.

As part of this year’s gala, there will also be a silent auction, featuring works by notable and emerging Omaha artists. About two dozen works will be up for auction from such recognized names as Thakoon Panichgul (shown below), Eric Post, Amy Haney and Shari Post.

Helping to make the evening unforgettable are honorary chairs Dianne and Allan Lozier and event chair Carol Wang.

The Loziers chose to support this event because, “[The Nebraska AIDS Project]’s belief in educating the community and providing client services, prevention education, outreach and advocacy tools shows their determination to provide strategies to reduce risky sexual behaviors in our community thus reducing HIV/AIDS and STD’s.”

Sponsors of "Night of a Thousand Silver Stars" include Lozier, ConAgra Foods, The Nebraska Medical Center, Cox, Ginger’s Hang-Up, The Holland Foundation, P.J. Morgan Real Estate, Methodist Hospital and Delinea Design. Benefactors include Mayor Jim Suttle, Hastings College, US Bank, Omaha GLBT Sports League, Good Samaritan Hospital-Kearney and University of Nebraska Medical Center.

"I hope people come to the Magnolia, fall in love with a piece of art, and dance until their feet are sore, celebrating that for the last 20 years, they've been a part of an effort to help our neighbors live longer, healthier lives," said Carol Wang, event chair.
