Iowa City
 

Recently visited Iowa City and have the following positive suggestions:

A Bella Vista Bed and Breakfast

Linn Street Cafe

Airliner (pizza)

Old State Capital

Hoover Presidential Library

Devonian Fossil Gorge

To this I would add the Amana Colonies, about 20 miles west of Iowa City.

And dinner at the Brown Bottle.

Go Hawkeyes

All terrific places (though I haven't ever been to the B&B mentioned). Givanni's downtown is also great for Italian.

tom18 - have you ever been to a brunch at the Ox Yoke Inn? We go maybe twice a year and each time I find that I don't have to eat for, oh, about two days. :-)

Is Mondo's still around? Great spot for pasta when our daughter was a student at the U.

Mondo's is still in Coralville - the downtown I.C. one shut down a couple of years ago. Same owners as Givanni's.

Iowa Girl - Nope. Haven't been back to IC for awhile.
