From October to May, the Madison Farmer's Market takes place inside the Garver Feed Mill. The Garver is only a short Uber/Lyft ride away.

Sandwiched between The Deliciouser and Giant Jones, Old Sugar Distillery is within walking distance of the venue and hotels. In addition to their cocktail and spirits menu, they also offer excellent NA cocktails. Try the NA Honey Cap; it's Kristyn's favorite.

A note for the out-of-towners: If you order an Old Fashioned in Wisconsin, it will be made with brandy. You will need to specify if you want bourbon.

A short walk from the hotel and venue, The Delicouser can be found next door to Old Sugar Distillery. If you have ever received spices from Kristyn and Kayla at Christmas, this is likely where they came from.

It would be an affront not to include a supper club on this list -- we are in Wisconsin after all! The catch for this one? This one offers brunch, too, oh, and it's a 2026 James Beard Award contender!

Our favorites: Chiliequiles, Steak & Eggs, and Calabrian Potatoes

But really... It's all delicious!

Oh, look! Another supper club!

Turn-Key Supper Club is just a short walk and a short drive from the hotels and venue. If you have the opportunity to eat there, take it!

Kayla's Recommendations: House Ravioli and Green Beans Almondine

Kristyn's Recommendations: Prime Rib with fries - the herb aoli is AH-mazing!

A fabulous vibe, an eclectic part of town, and another 2026 James Beard Award contender. With clever cocktail names like "Priyanka Left Me For My Brother", how could it not be a good time.

Public Parking is a 10-minute walk from the Moxy, and bonus: Jackknife Sushi delivers to the bar!

Giant Jones is within walking distance of the venue and hotels.

Looking for breakfast? Madison Sourdough has you covered!

Next door to The Garver, you will find the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Much like The Garver, Olbrich is a short Uber/Lyft ride away. You might even catch a glimpse of beautiful Lake Monona on the way.
