For German restaurants you can't forget Maders http://www.maders.com/restaurant.cfm <http://www.maders.com/restaurant.cfm> and for beer, Sprecher (plus brownie points for claiming you went to a museum) http://www.sprecherbrewery.com/sprtour.html <http://www.sprecherbrewery.com/sprtour.html> And of course if you have time to travel come by and see the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison. Madison is about an hour west of Milwaukee and en route to the Portage/Baraboo area discussed earlier.

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 www.foodspot.com <http://www.foodspot.com/> . 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! Constance R.
