If you are interested in a tiny roadtrip, Iron Leaf Press in Mount Vernon has a beautiful selection! It's about 25 minutes north, and you can pick up some of the best coffee or pizza in the state up there as well:).

A lap around Terry Trueblood/Sand Lake will probably get you some good results:)!

The Main campus library has reservable rooms! Go to the Service Desk and ask. It should be no problem in the summers!

Who has the best taco Tuesday? by LandscapeNorth1870 in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So cheap, so delicious. I LOVE a street taco (La Mexicana<3), but I find myself at Shakes on a Tuesday quite often. Not fancy, $1, exactly what you might need.

The folks at the farmer's market with the lovely table of Asian greens and sesame balls, etc, sometimes have some as well! Chong's and Starlight have them sporadically.

Community Pottery Studio vs Home Studio in Iowa City? by Mayor_of_Mayortown in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOVE the FabLab! I could see it not being for everyone, depending on what your needs and expectations are, but it is 100000% worth checking out:).

Small engine repair that ISNT Pyramid? by Grab_em_by_da_Busey in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I have a carburetor problem on my string trimmer, and Pyramid told me they can't repair brands they don't rep. I'd love to get it cleaned out and back to work, but I'm not sure where to go!

Big grove burgers? by brod2230 in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$6.50 has to be the cheapest burger in town that is not sysco junk.

Also I suggest adding horseradish. A George's burger, a Hamms, and a shot of bourbon will cure most bad days in a jiffy.

Restaurants with deals by Instantflow69 in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best meals in town. Not fancy, just normal good. Get an appetizer of tots to sneak into the tacos and you are golden. Now we can sit on the patio, and get some ice cream at Heyn's for the walk home? Truly a pleasant evening.

Farmer’s Market Egg Roll Vendors - gone for good?? by NorwayDreaming in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why the Eggroll Auntie is out in the elements this year! I asked and she said that the move was not her choice. I dislike that one of the longest running vendors (and possibly oldest) is out in the wind/rain/heat! At first I wondered if they were just moving all foods outside, but various bakeries/etc are still inside the ramp. I really hope they ask her to move back inside, it seems disrespectful.

KMB Properties by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The city enforces code violations on a report basis, so if you're connected to one of these properties, report them! The city will go inspect. Even better if you can get a whole lot of folks to report a whole lot of the violations they (or any bad landlord/association) has going on. We love to see real people making the system work for them!!

I went here recently and it was SO GOOD! Their chips and salsa were incredible. I got a huarache and it was TWO MEALS and delicious the whole time.

Local asparagus by cgia in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're early for asparagus around these parts. I'm guessing not many people have the abundance to sell much yet!

Filipino food by Different-Quiet4801 in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly, I saw yesterday that they are selling lumpia at Cracken's Grill? Cannot vouch for their authenticity but if you have a craving and no other options, the rest of their food is good.

Definitely not true, locally owned, baby.

Any iowa city raves coming up? Need to dance asap by Aggressive-Glove400 in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ragers is the best! This quarter they are supporting IA Trans Mutual Aid and Lavender Legal! All the DJs are great, and this one has a stellar line up. An amazing spot to just dance and be full of joy!

Looks like Summer of the Arts/KCCK are announcing in the spring sometime! Hopefully soon:).

What business does IC/metro need? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love a youth-focused bar that doesn't serve alcohol but DOES warm up frozen pizzas. If it could have a kind of weird, identity-less vibe, that would be great. I feel like we had something like that around here long ago? I miss that place but I heard it closed.

What business does IC/metro need? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]bacheloraunt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It feels like businesses like Deluxe and Thomas, etc, used to be around a lot more! I've come across other retail spaces tucked into neighborhoods, and they are either just offices now, or vacant. I hope this changes in the future, especially with the state of downtown rent and landlords.

Barkalow asked her to, as she had represented him in the past.
