For those coming in from out of town...
1) My Apartment - If you are coming in to Wisconsin on Friday you need to try a local fish fry while you are here. Patty & Chuck are one of our closest friends parents, some of the nicest people you'll meet, and serve up one of the best FF!! Don't miss out on the pepperjack cheese curds!
2) Cozy Inn - This is the oldest Chinese restaurant in the state of Wisconsin. (!!) They have THE best egg rolls ever, a super unique dining room, and fabulous cocktails. This is conveniently located up the street from the hotel. Tell them you are in town for Heather's wedding! She went to kindergarten with the owner's son and loves to visit when home.
3) The Buckhorn Supper Club - If you're looking for the authentic Supper Club experience we got you covered. This spot is only a short ~20 min drive and sits with a beautiful view of Lake Koshkonong.
4) The Looking Glass - Perfect local pub! Lots of Wisconsin beers, great bar food, and walking distance from the hotel. They have a great patio with lots of brunch options for Saturday. Ask for Sarah to make you the best bloody mary in town.
5) Rock County Brewing Company - We've never been but a new brewery is always a good option to have! If you're feeling frisky, Wiggy's is across the street and The Draft House is down the hill.
Update: We've been! The beers were good and the patio is cute.
6) Havana Coffee - We've recently stumbled upon this spot on trips back to Janesville. It's adorable with a massive coffee & latte list.... the everything breakfast bagel sandwich is so good! Quick drive from downtown.
7) The Bodacious Brew Shops - A short walk from hotel on Main Street you have the options of coffee at Bodacious Brew or a plethora of olive oils over at the...Bodacious Olive. Patio overlooks the river. Update: We recently got the Fall Oat Milk Latte and the caramel hazelnut latte on a trip home for our marriage license. Both were tasty and the back patio is so cute.

1) The Farmers Market - Janesville recently redid a ton around the riverfront next to the hotel. On Saturday mornings May - October you can take a stroll and check out local vendors here.
2) Take a Stroll - Janesville is known as "The City of Parks" and has many trails to check out via walking or bike. A few options are to look at the Ice Age Trail or paved trails by Palmer Park.
