8 Wisconsin Pizza Joints Where Thin, Tavern-Cut Squares Keep Families Coming Back

One pizza parlor on this list has been serving thin-crust pies since 1921. That’s over a century of cutting pizza into little squares instead of wedges. I love that detail. It means great-grandparents and great-grandkids could argue over the same corner pieces. In Wisconsin, tavern-cut squares are a family...

Uptown Janesville lands winter market through new management agreement

JANESVILLE — The Uptown Janesville mall lost its winter market when the Janesville Farmers Market opted this fall to move its over-winter spot to the downtown YMCA — but a new group is working to cultivate a new market at Uptown Janesville. Local nonprofit group Faire Market Institute, a cottage industry led by manager Alicia Klos, is operating The Janesville Mall Holiday Market at Uptown Janesville, the official name for the mall’s new winter market. The Uptown Janesville Holiday Market kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14. It’s specifically scheduled this year on weekends that are opposite the Janesville Farmers Market’s downtown market at the YMCA. “We didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. We wanted to go opposite their weekends,” Klos said. The Janesville Farmers Market had operated out of the mall for the last several years, but the group this year signed a contract to lease space for its winter market at the former Janesville Boys & Girls Club space at the YMCA off West Court Street. This year, Klos took over volunteer management of Milton’s Community Day Market. That’s a Friday night vendor and food market held on Milton’s east side once a month. Klos said many farmers market

Morning Bloom a new breakfast restaurant in the former Sweet Berry location to open

JANESVILLE— A new brunch restaurant, Morning Bloom, is preparing to open in the former Pearl of the Orient and Sweet Berry location, bringing another breakfast and brunch option to the area after Sweet Berry closed just three months after opening. The Alcohol licensing committee Tuesday morning, the committee unanimously recommended a positive approval to the city council for the restaurant's license. Bardil Ahmedi, the new restaurant owner, is opening a similar restaurant that will operate every day from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. The building at 2701 Milton Ave. housed Pearl of the Orient from late 2022 until early 2024. Rio Brazilian Steakhouse then planned to move into space, but backed out last year. Former owner Tommy Nguyen’s mother Xinh Le owned Sweet Berry. His mom has been the landlord for a building that houses Riverside Family restaurant in Rockford, Ill. Last year, Le had the idea to open a restaurant of her own in Janesville, and the idea blossomed from there. After purchasing the building, they repainted its exterior, repaved the parking lot, cleaned inside and constructed a bakery area that will serve as a mini-café serving items such as pastries, coffee and tea. In October the restaurant abruptly

The Most Romantic Steakhouse In Wisconsin Is Tucked Away Where You’d Least Expect

A dining room that started life as an 1861 hotel now serves A5 Miyazaki Wagyu and blue cheese-crusted filets. That combo alone made me sit up and start checking my calendar. The Greek Revival building was once the largest public building in its tiny town. A still-active railway line runs right across the street, which feels almost too charming to be real on a date night.
