Good Eats
The number, quality and variety of places to eat in downtown/Haymarket Lincoln has been a highlight of my years spent living here. (It’s also safe to say that, collectively, these fine establishments have been a prime factor in my current “not as trim as it used to be” figure.) 
That being said, one of the few things lacking in my downtown living experience is a decent fast (but not necessarily “fast food”) place somewhere between my places of residence and work. As you can guess, I was fairly excited to find out that Scooter’s Coffeehouse now offers breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I tried the roast beef sandwich last Friday; I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. A local (well, South Omaha) bakery, fresh ingredients, vacuum-sealed…tasty goodness. I’d probably have lunch there almost every day but for the fact that the sandwich itself is nearly $6 and the meal combo is $7.50. My downtown Lincoln lunch dream remains unfulfilled…

Oh come on! Danny’s Downtown Deli (10th and O) has good sandwiches. and there’s Maggie’s Vegetarian Wraps (8th & Qish), which is tasty. Both of those are quick eats, too.

I’ll admit that this is the point where my personal biases begin seeping in. Neither of those places is, in my opinion, fast on the order of “Subway/Jimmy John’s” fast (which is the standard I’m going be here), and for whatever reason, neither place really “does it” for me.
I guess what I really want is for Mortons to expand beyond Oxford and open their first non-UK location in Lincoln.

My favorite sandwich place in DT is Highnooners. You can get your sandwiches on croissants (which I always do), though a lot of people don’t know this because its not on their bag menus. I also like Danny’s. He is a really nice guy.
