Where Are Madison’s Best Patios?
Who doesn’t love a little outside time? Ideally, paired with a beverage and good friends. Cap Times photographer Ruthie Hauge has been cataloging local outdoor gathering spaces in what started as a pandemic passion project but has grown into the ultimate list of Madison-area patios.
Host Bianca Martin caught up with Ruthie to get the scoop on the latest and greatest patios in our city and beyond.
Join us every Thursday as we explore Madison's food culture, from the brewers and bakers to the chefs and cheesemakers.
