Grocery Stores Near our Hotels

[jesse_the_k]

We've got lots of grocery stores in Madison; many deliver; all sell beer because Wisconsin; some are within ready walking distance of our hotels; all are on bus lines or cheap cab ride away (we do have Uber here).

If you need to keep costs down, in addition to the free food in the Con Suite, many groceries offered prepared food & deli. I've noted those which offer catering if you're hosting a party.

From nearest to farthest away...

What a great list! It would be wonderful if you linked this post in the wiscon dw community!

[emceeaich]

Please do!

[jesse_the_k]

D'oh, I thought I had. It's there now.

(I'm using the beta entry page & it doesn't supply a "choose where to post dropdown," or at least not somewhere I thought to look.

[emceeaich]

And if you are up for a rental, many of those places further afield are easy to reach on a bike.

Such a meaningful comment, I made it myself on the DW thread where I finally posted this info.

Why do preschoolers not love spending hours n fancy cheese shops???

[jesse_the_k]

The smell?

Extrapolating from my experience of being almost kid-height, any busy store is a forest of strange butts. Can't even see what's drawing the adults' attention.

[kalmn]

I love you so much, Jesse. Am now giggling about butt forests.

[jesse_the_k]

So glad to herd a giggle your way :,)
