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!

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.

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.
