27 Exciting Ways to Eat in Milwaukee Right Now
"After the big boys that made Milwaukee famous and before the craft-beer boom that has seen dozens of third-wave options sprout in just the past few years, Lakefront became the most ubiquitous local beer of area bars and liquor stores. Rent one of its mini riverfront “hop houses” — private dining spaces complete with heating, wood floors, and white tablecloths — to sample the beer-battered cod at a Friday fish fry. Indoor dining, outdoor dining, takeout, delivery."

How to Plan the Perfect Weekend Getaway in Milwaukee
"Stop into Sobelman’s, a Milwaukee Landmark, for lunch and possibly the world’s largest Bloody Mary. The bloody’s here are a meal in themselves with a whole spread of food artistically skewered and perched on top of a pint glass. Even though most Bloody Mary’s come with a slider sticking out the top, Sobelman’s burgers are not to be missed. A trip to Sobelman’s pairs well with a Brewer game the Brew Crew play just down the road, However, game days can be quiet busy here."
