things to do
Mercado on Fifth
Since moving to the Quad Cities in 2023, we have enjoyed many events held at Mercado on Fifth. During the summer months, a large block party is held every Friday night. They typically have live music, great food and drinks, and an overall lively atmosphere! We highly recommend checking out this event if you plan to be in the Quad Cities on the Friday before our wedding. It is conveniently located a block from the Element Hotel!
Redband Coffee Co.
Looking for a really great cup of joe or the tastiest breakfast sandwich? Look no further than Redband Coffee! Sammy HIGHLY recommends the Chorizo Egg Sandwich with any of their coffee selections (you can't go wrong). Note: Both locations have a limited menu and no available seating, BUT they do have drive-throughs.
