Beer, motorcycles, and cheese. What more would a man need than the basics Milwaukee boasts? Both Miller’s and Pabst grew out from the Best family and Harley-Davidson motorcycles are made in the city. Outside of Chicago, Milwaukee is the largest city on Lake Michigan – the only Great Lake that’s entirely within US borders.
The blue and yellow Daniel Hogan Memorial Bridge spans an inlet into the city’s old canal system that used to let cargo boats unload at warehouses. One of these historic areas has been repurposed into a dining district called the Historic Third Ward – very much like Vancouver’s Yaletown and a little bit like Hamburg. If the gentrified restaurants are too pricey, the nearby Milwaukee Public Market has takeout for all budgets.
A little bit of lakeside holiday without the vicious Chicago traffic.
