i love this hipster cult favorite for mexican -- you'll feel like you're eating at a mexican matriarch's house with all the statues of mary & jesus looking at you. great for dinner or brunch. the tres leches cake is to die for & the patio is great on a summer day.

this is one of my favorite new restaurants in milwaukee. pricey for everyday, but i love it for special occasions. the food is out of control good. for a lower-key but still fancy vibe, go downstairs to their oyster bar, oak & oyster, where you can have drinks & order appetizers. this is one of the few places in milwaukee where you'll see people really dressed up.

Parks & Nature

this trail is in my backyard & runs alongside the milwaukee river. you can follow it all the way downtown to the riverwalk. i love it because you still have some views of the city, but mostly you feel like you're in another world, away from the hustle & bustle of city life.
