Joe & Allison
Things To Do
Memorial Union Terrace
Enjoy a brat, beer, or scoop of ice cream next to Lake Mendota. No reservations needed, just enter along the east side of Memorial Union.
Madison Farmer's Market
On Saturday between 6:15 am and 1:45 pm, the farmer's market is located on "The Square" surrounding the Wisconsin State Capitol. Do yourself a favor and grab some Stella's Spicy Cheese Bread or squeaky cheesy curds.
The Boathouse
Located at lake level in the Langdon Building at The Edgewater Hotel, The Boathouse serves authentic Wisconsin favorites with a lake view.
Camp Randall Stadium
Camp Randall is home to the Wisconsin Badger Football team, and is the former site of a military training center during the Civil War in the 1860s. Grab a cup of coffee on Monroe Street and take a formal or informal tour of our historic stadium.
Wisconsin State Capitol
The Capitol is hard to miss - you can see it from just about anywhere in downtown Madison. The historic building is open to the public seven days a week with daily tours available.
State Street Brats
State Street Brats is a Madison staple. Take a seat out on the patio and enjoy a fresh Wisconsin brat and a pitcher of Spotted Cow.
Heritage Tavern
Fun fact, Allison used to serve here back in the day! Heritage is a great option for brunch or a fancier dinner.
Eno Vino Downtown
Located in the AC Hotel, Eno Vino has great cocktails and one of the best views of the capitol.
Lucille
Great spot off The Square to grab some pizza or a drink.
The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company
The Great Dane is one of Madison's favorite local breweries. Grab a beer and play a round of pool or darts.
Chasers 2.0
Second iteration of the bar where Joe and Allison first met! Order a snorkel in their honor.
Mickies Dairy Bar
Frequented by Allison in high school and Joe in college, Mickies Dairy Bar is a classic diner that has been a Madison go-to since the 1950s. The reasonable prices and extra chocolatey chocolate chip pancakes are what make people line up around the block for a table. Important - Mickies is cash only!
