MONDO'S

This is a fantastic restaurant! My parents were in town recently to visit and we came here for dinner. Right away our service was great. The hostess was very outgoing and we were seated right away.. even though they were decently busy. It didn't take our server long to greet us and he made great recommendations. I ordered the primavera, which was awesome. It's linguine with mixed peppers with a somewhat spicy tomato sauce. My parents ordered the shrimp pesto pizza. I had a piece and it was just as awesome as my pasta. This restaurant is definitely worth checking out.

AZUL TEQUILA COCINA

I think this is a great Mexican restaurant, especially when it comes to their seafood. I've eaten here quite a few times and have really enjoyed everything I've tried. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.


BILLION AUTO

My parents recently came in town to visit and told me for my birthday they would buy me  a new car! Best surprise ever!!! And they told me I could pick it out myself! While they were here we came to Billion Auto to see what we could find. My birthday isn't for another couple weeks but my dad likes to shop around before purchasing. I wasn't very happy with this place. The salesman wouldn't even pay attention to me, he would only talk to my dad. I would ask questions and tried to tell him what I was looking for but he acted like I wasn't even there. Little does he realize, I will be the one picking out the car and it won't be from here.


IN-BOX BOUTIQUE

This is my favorite boutique in Iowa City and I shop here all the time. They have unique clothes and the cutest dresses. I've boughten at least 8 dresses from here in the last couple months. And if you find something that you really like but they don't have your size, there is a woman who does all of their alterations at a great price. She does a fabulous job and the service here is outstanding. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go shopping again :)
