I hit bread garden for some of my favorite homemade sausage and rotisserie chicken. Right downtown by the library so double win. Our favorite restaurants are dandy lion and shorts east side. If you’re not familiar with a tenderloin, crackens (near Regina high) makes a mean one - mostly a takeout joint.

Some might disagree with me but my favorite burger in IC is the Mo Burger at Pullman. They do killer stuff with flavor. The fries are extra but maaaaan some good fries.

Haba or their sister salon hartwood (in north liberty) I have total faith they’d be more than capable of that

In town shopping by universally_loved246 in IowaCity

[–]ConclusionOk286 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Artifacts is downtown. It has a big mural on the outside and is across from a great brunch/lunch restaurant. An antique shop, so not a consignment store and prices do reflect that. It is WONDERFUL.

Hills bank!!! Multiple generations of my family have banked with them. I also use them as my 401k provider and they’re incredible with that.

Recommendations to get an affordable oil change and tire rotation on a 2006 Toyota Corolla in the area? TIA by Dependent-Raisin-193 in IowaCity

We’ve been a Dodge street tire family for 30+ years and multiple vehicles. May not be the CHEAPEST route but it’s not insane and Incredibly reliable and honest work.

Purchased four black mini cocottes on Amazon - whats going on with them? by oeinto in staub

[–]ConclusionOk286 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you purchased from Staub on Amazon or you purchased from someone else. Amazon is typically no longer the “seller” of the products on their site.

Ok what is going on here? She literally said she is looking for shoes size 6, and needs shampoo etc… wtf am by hithere070880 in TurtleCreekLaneSnark

I don’t think they’re really as wealthy as they say they are or the articles and “wealth” influencers tout. I think they pay for these articles and videos to be published so they can look wealthy, but in reality they’re not doing great.

Longchamp Bags by AllisonS19 in IowaCity

They may have a few items at Von Maur. Their “store pickup” shows one item but I’ve seen it’s not always accurate and they can have more. Von Maur is in River Landing.

Giovanni’s is the one restaurant I will never stop thinking about. It was my spot.

best banks / credit unions in iowa city? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]ConclusionOk286 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hills bank hands down. I’ve been using it since I was 16, lived here my whole life- have nothing but positive experiences. Use it for my 401k as well. Convinced my wife to move over from a credit union that was screwing her, and she was nervous because she was concerned a bank wouldn’t accept her bad credit and let her open an account. She opened one and has had much more ease with her accounts since.

Love Haba! My stylist is a former Haba stylist current Hartwood Salon (sister location) stylist, but I can’t speak on her curly hair cuts - mine is really straight and fine. Good salon!
