Food Scene

Great happy hour and drink specials. This place used to be an old Blockbuster, then it was Obama's HQ during the 2012 election (keep this in mind when you arrive). Get there early!

Star Bar is a weekly spot for me. They have the best steak salad in town! They also have a solid brunch menu on Saturday & Sundays.

Best local coffee spot. But be warned that they do not have wifi because that is not their thing. Great coffee is. I recommend their espresso.

This place gets busy fast and any seat with a wall outlet is hot real estate. I love their food. I usually get a cheeseburger and a coffee, which sounds weird until you try it.

Des Moine's premiere ramen house. This place is run by a buddy of mine. I recommend any of their ramen, bah mi, or vegan whiz tots!

Drinks & Nightlife

My favorite bar. No TVs and a mid-century modern atmosphere. It is inside of what used to be the old Des Moines Register building. If you are a fan of classic cocktails and the TV show MAD MEN then you need to check it out.

Essentials

A local grocery chain with the best meat department around. They have an organic section right when you walk in. The only downside is that they are not open on Sundays.

Best local market in town. Its a halfway point between Trader Joes and Wholefoods. It is a little more expensive than your average grocery store, but it has a cafe inside that is outstanding.

Parks & Nature

Great walking trail (that also connects with the rest of the city) where you can also rent kayaks and boats. Great place for an evening stroll.
