Lunch break dates
My boyfriend and I work opposite schedules, so we try to grab a bite together when we have time for a break. Here's where we've been and where we'd like to go.

Crave Italian American -
218 Sixth Ave. - Des Moines (Downtown)

Ritual Cafe -
1301 Locust St., Suite D - Des Moines (Downtown)

Report this commentThe Juice staff saw Sophia off to The Register with a farewell lunch here and it was divine. Pricer than the skywalk, but not by much, and you get even more than you pay for.

Something Italian -
400 Walnut St., Suite 2, skywalk level - Des Moines (Court Avenue District)
Report this commentNow open on Friday nights, we stopped in for a couple slices of pizza on my boyfriend's dinner break. Almost nothing else is available at that time in the Skywalk, so this is a great option.

My top spots to bring out of towners
When people come from out of town, I love to pick spots that really showcase Des Moines, and tell visitors we arent just some small town.
Updated Never Been, Need to Go list
I have no visited a handful of the spots on my old lists, but of course there are now new ones to add!
My favorite burger spots
Everyone loves the good old all-American burger. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the classic cheeseburger, and sometimes I like more of a twist. Here are some of my favorite spots.
