Night Out on the Town


Half-hour south of Madison, Wisconsin is the small Swiss Villiage of New Glarus. This Green County town embraces its heritage much like many of the other Wisconsin towns. Most notably is the authentic Swiss food of the New Glarus Hotel.
This isn't a Swiss wannabe restaurant, but the authentic foods you'd find in Europe. On the menu are the Schnitzels, Roestis, Fondues, Raclettes, and assorted sausages. On certain days you will be entertained by local polka bands and on other days recorded Swiss Yodelers are on the speakers.
In order to make the trip complete, stop by the local New Glarus Bakery, Maple Leaf Cheese and Chocolate Haus as well as the New Glarus Brewery for the freshest local goods. A definite worthwhile four hour trip from Iowa City.
