Was excited to see Food Fight has added another new restaurant to their lineup. Stopped by for brunch after the Saturday Farmers Market. We arrived shortly after they opened at 9a and were greeted warmly by the staff.
Wanted a relaxing breakfast before starting a hectic weekday, so I headed to BSBC downtown.
Ordered coffee (they serve Collectivo) and the lemon ricotta pancakes from the Sweet Stuff portion of the menu…. Delicious!
Menu said “light and fluffy” they did not disappoint. Topped with blueberry compote that would make an awesome pie filling in and of itself and a scoop of sweet whipped ricotta.
The waiter automatically brought syrup, I barely used it.
Waiter was attentive and kept my coffee cup full. He even offered a to go cup. Which is always a pleasant little perk.

Had a day off, it was a crisp fall day. What a great way to spend the morning. Took a travel mug full of coffee and walked around to see the animals.
Great zoo for younger kids. Not too big (like the Milwaukee Zoo) just right for them to wander around and not get too tired.
My husband and I haven’t visited the Avenue in years. Probably because we were not impressed the first time we went. (Old, a bit tired, food was not impressive) We knew that Food Fight Restaurant took it over. At first we heard they didn’t change much, then reports came in the revamped the menu, then remodeled.
Tonight we stopped on the way home from the airport. So glad we did!

My friends and I frequently go shopping on State Street. All the cute unique gift stores. Then we are sure to stop at one of the many restaurants. There are so many to choose from. It’s hard to pick just one favorite.
Overture Center is located here also. If we are headed to see a show we always plan a meal and shopping either before or after. Yes, even, sometimes both!

My husband and I have been going to Marigold since they opened. Usually on a Saturday after the farmers market.
Take a fried egg, applewood smoked bacon, use fresh tomato slices, sprinkle on some green onions then spread on the most amazing cheddar-spiked boursin on a toasted ciabatta and you have created the PERFECT breakfast sandwich!! Yum.

The State Capitol building on “the square” in Downtown Madison is absolutely gorgeous. Stop by for a tour while you take a break from the amazing Dane County Farmers Market. (Saturday April to November)
Be sure to head to the rotunda and look up. It’s a sight not to be missed. …. And if you’re feeling like a kid, lay down on the ground and look up. You won’t be disappointed.
You can feel the history in all the well-maintained details of building look for the different types of granite, marble and wood.
While on the outside be sure to look up at the cupola and see Ms Wisconsin gracing the top.
The grounds are landscaped and the flowers change with the seasons.
