Fast food. Culver's is a Wisconsin Fast food chain which started in Sauk City (located 40 minutes northwest of Madison). The Cottage Grove Road store is very popular and busy. The owner of this store is very involved in the local community. For a quick meal, it's a good spot.

Sightseeing
It's the iconic Wisconsin State Capitol. One of the most beautiful capitol buildings in the US. Often the site of protests and political activism. Every day has the potential for an adventure. Capitol offers daily tours. Want to have a picnic? The Capitol lawn is as good as any spot to enjoy a warm summer day. Wednesday's in summer also feature the Concerts on the Square. The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra performs an eclectic mix of music each week. If you plan on going, go early (like several hours) bring blankets, wine, beer, and snacks or an entire meal. The concert on the square is kind of a big deal.
