We went here on our first date. Very close to the city, Black Husky is a Milwaukee staple and one of our favorite places. Think: dogs + beer. Enough said!
This is where we got engaged! Probably the best view of the city and is close to some breweries, coffee shops, and green space to hike, run, or sit on a park bench.
If you like donuts, you'll love Donut Squad, who's got fun toppings, amazing dough, and excellent service. Also serving Colectivo coffee (which is conveniently located a block south)!
Great coffee and even better breakfast sandwiches! You'll love their patio seating and can finish up your trip with a walk down to the lakefront.
MAM has excellent exhibits and is reasonably priced. With some exhibits that rotate and some that are permanent, you're sure to find something that speaks to you. Take a short walk around O'Donnell Park just west or head south to Lakeshore State Park for a longer loop.
If you're itching to get outside and love haunted woods, you need to check out Grant Park and Seven Bridges Trail. You'll see a mix of lakeshore bluffs, creeks, and heavily wooded trails and can drive south on Lake Drive to see South Milwaukee and beyond.
