newbo city market

As a Monticello-native, I haven't had the chance to experience everything Cedar Rapids has to offer yet. Recently, I got the opportunity to take some time away from work and visit the NewBo City Market - one place, in particular, that I have heard a lot about. For those of you who haven't been there before, I highly recommend you check it out as soon as you can. Make sure you show up with an empty stomach, too. There are so many different food vendors, you'll regret not trying at least one!

Baconfest 2014 is rapidly approaching, are you ready for all the bacony goodness? You'll be able to get all sorts of wild bacon concoctions, like bacon cupcakes and bacon ice cream. But do you know the finest beverage accompaniment when enjoying a strip or two of the good stuff?
