Whether you want familiar food made with care and pride or a taste of something new, there are lots of choices that will please you. Here are a few ideas: Williamson Street/Atwood Corridor This is one of Madison’s hippest neighborhoods and is densely packed with interesting restaurants. Some favorites include— • Sardine (Fine dining with great lake views) • Alchemy Tavern (Gastro Pub with dressed up versions of tavern favorites) • Umami (Trendy ramen and dumpling house) • Bandung (Indonesian—like a savory cross of Indian and Thai cuisines) Middleton/Far West Side Despite its local reputation as a maze of chain restaurants, this area is actually home to plenty of interesting quality independents. Just few quick minutes from the Alliant Center via the Beltline with lots of free on-street parking. • Taigu Noodle (Incredible Chinese noodles made and cut by hand) • Louisianne’s (Cajun/Creole) • Hubbard Ave Diner (Retro-style diner—sister to Monty’s Blue Plate) • Sofra (Middle Eastern/Turkish) Fitchburg If you’re staying at the Wyndham Garden, there’s a whole new part of the Madison area that you may never have explored. • Thirsty Goat (Barbecue/Smokehouse) • Haveli (Indian) • Great Dane (Southern outpost of Madison’s original brew pub) • Curry in the Box (Pan-Asian curry for eat in or take-out) And you can always ask a local—many ORA reps and retailers are based in Madison and love to share their favorites 6 ORA Membership Directory • Listed alphabetically by member last name • All members are exhibiting unless otherwise noted Need help finding a brand or product? • Index of all brands (alphabetical) is located at the back of this Buyers’ Guide • visit www.orareps.com for an up-to-date list that can be sorted by product category ORA Governance and Operations ORA Board of Directors President ...............................................................
