The Milwaukee Public Museum, Art Museum, and Zoo are popular. I also like Old
World Wisconsin (an hour+ west), St. Joan of Arc Chapel (on Marquette campus),
and Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum (the gardens with a lake view are
lovely). Miller Park is nice to look at too...if only the baseball stacked up.

As for dining, a true Milwaukee experience should included a fish fry and a
beer. The following are personal favorites and they come with a bit of
history:

- Historic Turner Restaurant, an 1880s landmark with German immigrant history
- Brown Bottle Pub housed in the old Schlitz Brewery tasting room
- Stout Brothers Public House has restored 19th century cream city brick and
several on-site brews

These and tons of others Wisconsin restaurants can be found at

If you enjoy cinema, try:

- Oriental Theater (at North Ave. & Farwell) was built in the 1920s. It shows
foreign and indy film plus a Kimball Theater pipe organ rises up out of the
stage and plays before the 7:00 show Friday and Saturday nights.

- Times Cinema (at Vliet and 60th) has some memorabilia. The show list favors
Hitchcock, with the owner having an eerie resemblance, but also runs classics
like "Casablanca," "Das Boot" and "Wizard of Oz." The popcorn is the best!
