What Our People Say
I love going to world-class shows at Hancher Auditorium. There is an incredible variety of performances, from straight-off Broadway musicals to demonstrations of Sufi whirling to a lecture on climate change by Bill Nye (the Science Guy). There is something magical about dressing up and seeing once-in-a-lifetime events with my family. I also love visiting Barrett's Quality Eats in Coralville (a charming town 10 minutes away from Iowa City). The founder, Cory Barrett, is a 3-time James Beard award semifinalist!
