JP & Robert
Things To Do
Des Moines' Downtown Farmers’ Market
Iowa Staple on Saturdays from 8-Noon! Stop by before the wedding and check out Uncle Wendell's BBQ (JP used to work for them and it was a blast)! Enjoy amazing brisket or indulge in a HUGE cinnamon roll. Make sure to get there early for that big thang!
Exile Brewing Company
Make sure to call for a reservation if you want to visit one of our favorite breweries!
RAYGUN
A quirky, spunky little Iowa store! Recommended if you want to get any souvenirs to mark your journey to the 515.
Culver's
Now that they both live in California, they don't get to enjoy this staple of a place. Best ButterBurger in their mind!
Smash Park
Fun & Games for all Ages! They have pickleball, bags, bocce ball, arcade games, and more. On a better note, they also serve drinks and slushies.
Tumea & Sons Restaurant
If you are looking for authentic Italian, visit this place in little Italy! Definitely a must stop when the B&G stop in DM.
Jethro's BBQ 'n Bacon Bacon
BBQ, bacon, and more! Fun fact, each Jethro's has specialty items based on the location. This one in West DM is the bacon location :)
Fong's Pizza
The Crab Rangoon pizza is delicious! *Chef's kiss
A Dong Restaurant
JP's favorite for Vietnamese Cuisine! #111 is her go-to :)
Cool Basil
This Thai and Chinese fusion has some great dishes and is a family favorite!
Zombie Burger and Shake Lab
A fan favorite of Des Moines with specialty burgers and yummy shakes!
Jordan Creek Town Center
This is the biggest mall in Iowa! If you want to peruse or find something you missed, I'm sure they'll have it.
