It's no surprise that someone with a library degree spends a few Saturdays a month at a bookstore! Check out Jessie's favorite bookstore in Madison!
One of our favorite things about living in Madison is being within walking distance of the farmer's market! The last market of the season is the morning of our wedding so definitely check it out and pick up some spicy cheese bread! Bonus: pop into the Capitol! The interior is breathtaking!
We ate at Vintage the first night when we moved to Madison! Many happy hours and boozy brunches later, it's still a favorite!
One of the best happy hours with amazing tacos and margs!
One of our neighborhood coffee shops!
This is an amazing coffee shop right around the corner from us! We recommend the Sassy Toast and the bagel sandwich!
Amazing bread, pastries, and food, this is a favorite for breakfast and lunch!
The Chazen Museum of Art is on the UW-Madison's campus and is free and open to the public! It has an amazing collection of art covering a wide range of periods and geographical locations.
Another favorite spot for dinner right down the street from us! The pizzas are made with super fresh ingredients and they are always changing up the menu. They also have locations in Sun Prairie and Monona!
Olbrich Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place with areas to explore both inside and out!
Friday evenings often find us at our favorite neighborhood dive bar, Caribou! They have one of the best burgers in town!
Would it be a trip to Wisconsin without going to a brewery?
The North side is an area of Madison that has really been growing since we've moved to town. Northstreet features a coffee shop, a bakery, and one of our favorite breweries, Youngblood!
If you're looking for a classic breakfast, Ogden's is the place! We recommend going early because seating is limited!
