1. Crystal Corner
the crystal is pretty much my favorite bar in the country. many fond memories of this place - hometown sweethearts specifically! epitome of what a dive bar should be, drinks are cheap, bartenders are fantastic (have patty make you a vodka cranberry…More »
2. Dane County Farmer's Market
i am completely in love with the madison farmer's market. i've now been to a fair amount of farmer's markets around the country, but going to the madison farmer's market was a religion to me. saturday mornings i would dutifully rise early in the…More »
3. Mediterranean Cafe
delicious, cheap eats - they move quickly, their food is good, and i ate here nearly daily for a summer.
i'm a creature of habit - always the lamb and beef schwarma in a pita, no tehini (i'm not a condiment person). only one other place in madison…More »
4. King of Falafel - CLOSED
this was one of my favorite madison restaurants
it has 2 sides to it - a fine dining side, and a hole-in-the-wall side. though it's the same food, same price, and both have nice atmospheres, because of my penchant for cheap eats and the strong…More »
5. The Old Fashioned
delicious restaurant on the square - get your fried cheese curds, mac and cheese, and other fatty wisco classics all in one place. if you want to pretend to be healthy, their salads are pretty decent too.
try the minnesota beer "hot chocolate" - dark…More »
6. Pel'meni - CLOSED
the discovery of this place in 2004 forever changed my tastebuds. since it's closed now, i can finally review based on the store when it first opened and i fell in love with it, and not after the shady change in business owners where i boycotted the…More »
7. Deli Delicious Llc
i will grant that it has been almost 4 years since i've been here, but given that it's a teeny family-owned family-run sandwich shop that i ate at most days over the course of a month, i thought it was a shame no one had reviewed the place yet!

the ice cream drinks are the best ever - the almond joy was incredible. why do more bars not still make ice cream drinks???
lighting here is kind of odd, but i get that it's an ambiance thing. what i *don't* get is why there's any sort of problem…More »

So Hyde Bar is brand spankin new, and it's actually a pretty cool club scene. Fresh birch lines the bar, the aura is sleek and hip. Drinks are reasonable, and while you can opt for bottle service it's not required. I went on a Friday night, and…More »

Meh.
I thought this place would be better by the looks of it. It seems cute from the outside, and even cute from the inside, but the food just really wasn't that great, and service was awfully slow given that the place wasn't at all crowded, our…More »

20. Sugar Maple
There aren't a lot of places I get excited about going to when I'm back in Wisconsin, and that's especially true of the Milwaukee bar scene. Thank heaven for friends with good taste, because on my last trip home they took me to Sugar Maple, and I…More »
