| - Hilldale Shopping Center is not a place I frequent, even when I'm visiting Madison. Madison has some really great, local shops in different parts of the city and it's fun to stroll, but Hilldale is not one of them.
It's not a place I would go to shop, unless it's for one or two specific things; there aren't a ton of stores. It seems very convenient for this part of the city, especially if you live in Shorewood Hills. It's anchored by Macy's and Target, but most of the shops here are a bit more upscale. There's an Anthropologie, Lululemon, l'Occitane en Provence, The Northface and Pendleton. There's also a Fleming's Steakhouse. Twigs, a very upscale, local, women's clothing shop, just opened a location here.
Hilldale is essentially a yuppie shopping center, that's perfect for Madison's upper crust families to do their average, day to day shopping for the "common" things. A day spa for children just opened here. Very exciting!
I do not live in Madison, but I believe I can attest to the convenient location and nice assortment of restaurants. And Hilldale might signify yuppy Madison, but it gets a couple of stars because it has Sundance 608, which was the first Sundance Cinema in the country. It plays big budget movies, but also great documentaries and foreign films. Pretty cool, definitely not your average move theatre in an average shopping center.
