Milwaukee in winter
Why would a traveler ditch one freezing city for another? asked Lauren Viera in the Chicago Tribune. Well, sometimes a quick jaunt to the Caribbean isn’t an option, and sometimes the best antidote to winter is a vibrant urban setting. Milwaukee’s dining scene extends far beyond bratwurst. You can find a satisfying Friday-night fish fry almost anywhere. Bacchus, the city’s newest restaurant, serves up “flawless” cuisine. The “fabulous” Milwaukee Art Museum, which holds a permanent collection that rivals those in most major cities, has a new wing designed by Santiago Calatrava. Don’t tell the Chicago Institute of Art, “but I kind of like Milwaukee’s art museum better.” The same goes for the coffee—“better” than in Chicago. Did I mention beer? “Milwaukee is a brew town,” and a pub tour can even include the Pabst Mansion, which borders the campus of Marquette University. Beer baron Capt. Frederick Pabst lived in this massive greystone residence in the 1890s. “Winter, schminter.”
