Madison area BA's - a few questions

Best stores to hit up: Rileys, Steves and Stars. Woodmans has good prices, but less dynamic a selection but all the regular off the shelf stuff is available at good prices there

 

First off, good choice! The Dane County farmer's market is really a great experience. I STRONGLY suggest the cheese bread....follow your nose and the crowd.

Secondly, there are no beer or wine sales at the market. But, since it's Wisconsin, alcohol is always a short distance away

Thirdly, there are many great places to stop. Riley's is a short walk from the market and a should stop. Right next store is Brickhouse, which has a pretty solid tap list and a varied menu. If it's nice out, which it should be, spend the whole morning walking to these places. State Street is right there, there are plenty of great restaurants/bars on the square, and Madison parking rates are laughably cheap.

Have a great time!

First off, if you go to brickhouse you have to order the mac and cheese and put the Cholula hot sauce on it.

Second, make sure you visit the malthouse.

Third, I suggest checking out the Dane and Weary Traveler (bobs bad breath burger)

 

Store-wise: Jenifer St., Star, Riley's in that order. Woodmans and Steve's are great too for volume, but generally the first 3 are my go-to's. If short on time, Riley's is closest as BarrytheBear mentioned.

Old Fashioned on the square has 50+ WI beers on tap and a great brunch, Marigold Cafe is good for breakfast too. +1 to cheesy bread @the market

 

Depends on where you go and who you know . Riley's is yor beat bet though I know where you can get thumbprint chocolate abby

 

They also might have some Cranbic left I remember hearing someone mention.
