Drinks & Nightlife

One of the best views in Madison. Set atop a brand new hotel just off the Capitol Square, floor-to-ceiling windows give you an amazing view of the Madison Capitol. The soft white glow of the Capitol at night is pretty amazing. This tapas bar is 2nd to none.

Entertainment & Activities

In the Summer, the Terrace is one of my favorite places in the U.S. Set on the Lake Mendota lake-shore, they serve traditional grilled fare, amazing ice cream, lots of great beers, and offer free live music from a great stage with great sound on weekend evenings. Hundreds of college students line the shore and piers sunning themselves on nice days. Truly a Madison signature!

Although there is a $10 cover, and 2 drink minimum (they offer N/A drinks too), this has been a pretty consistent source of laughs for me over many years. Sometimes there are duds, but most of the time I've left very happy.

Sightseeing

State Street is a great runway to the State Capitol building. Many shops, restaurants, and bars line the street making for great people watching, and great shopping. Many indie shops, and not so many chains.

Parks & Nature

Some of the most amazing views in the area. Especially amazing at the peak of fall colors.

Essentials

Only 3 blocks from my front door, they have a full service grocery store, AND everything normal Target offers. Reasonable prices on quality food.
