30 Things Every Midwesterner Should Experience
Peaceful lakes, sweeping vistas, state fair food -- here is our list of 30 essential Midwest experiences. Consider this a checklist for this year's travel, in case it's time to renew the senses.
Taste fresh ice cream and smoky ribs
Taste ice cream, thick and fresh, straight from the Babcock Hall Dairy, a University of Wisconsin-Madison operation said to make the Dairy State's best. Buy a cone or cup at the Daily Scoop Deli on the UW Memorial Union terrace. It tastes best from a seat on one of the terrace's trademark sunburst chairs with a Lake Mendota view (left).
Taste the tangy, smoky, sauce-slathered ribs at Arthur Bryant's, a 75-year Kansas City, Missouri, barbecue institution. For the most authentic experience, go to the 18th and Brooklyn location in the heart of the city's jazz district. It's the original.
