Where and why?
2. Madison, Wisconsin. The hotel is right beside the capitol building. Plenty of food and bars within a short walk, and if you are ever there on a saturday morning, the farmers market just outside the hotel that wraps all the way around the capitol building is a must visit. Right in the middle of Badgertown, University of Wisconsin (like or hate, it is a fun place to be).

Also on the square, Graze, kinda pricey but the best baked mac and cheese on the planet. Very fun environment too.
KPWK- Tore and Lukes, just to the West in Arlington Heights. Kind of a hole in the wall, but awesome pizza, fries and dogs. Cheap too with a drive through. Also some nice hotels innthat area, the one i had a while ago was above a mall with movie theatres, grocery store, bars within walking distance. Kinda like a big outlet mall.
