New Years Day comes just a week after Christmas, and Omaha Union Station followed up its Christmas 1948 dinner menu with this New Years 1949 menu. Except for the cover, the menus are exactly the same: same appetizers, same soups, same entrées, same salads, same desserts, and same prices.

Since there were plenty of each, someone could have dined both at Christmas and New Years and found sufficient variety. Vegetables and desserts had traditional holiday dishes such as brandied sweet potatoes and fresh pumpkin pie. Vegetarians — not that there were any in Omaha in 1949 — would have had a problem as all nine entrées were red meat, poultry, fish, or shellfish.
