Thank you for giving Milwaukee a kind review. Most people don't understand what a treasure this city is. For it's size, it has great museums, theaters, wonderful shopping, quaint neighborhoods, and tons of activities. I call it a little "big"city. I typically will run into people I know when I am out and about in MKE (I live in the northern suburbs). BTW great video captures on this segment
It is a beautiful city! Appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed it. - Liz
Agree with everything you said. I live in the city and love it!
It’s true and baffling on how the media and so many outsiders Shit on this city constantly and never spent a full day here.
I'm so glad they went to the ramen place. It's the best 👌 my favorite. Welcome to Wisconsin. Thank you for all your kind words.🤍
Ya the city is perfect for yuppie millenniums. Do you live under a rock? There are people being shot and killed in the middle of the day in this city. Let alone alllll night long. The media haha
I've lived all over the US and in China. Milwaukee is sitll my favorite place. It has its socioeconomic problems but its such a hidden gem. If Detroit had Chicago had a kid it would be Milwaukee
Totally agree on the mixture.
As a lifelong local of many decades...Yes you made the right choice with Lakefront Brewery. Both for the beer choices and the location. And thank you for the video. It's great to hear your perspective.
Milwaukee has alot in common with Philadelphia and San Antonio . 100 yr old buildings. I love it .
Definitely!
Great video, but want to point out that Summerfest is neither every weekend or free. It's like $20 or more to get in and is usually held for 11 days at the end of june beginning of july but was in September this year with a weekend schedule because of covid. Thanks again for highlighting Milwaukee!
it's only on the weekends now, after covid they changed it up a bit.
I grew up most of my life is Wisconsin and I was so confused when other places didn't offer me a beer chaser with my bloody Mary 😅 I thought that was standard!
Haha! What the heck -- no cheese chasers?!
Me too
My parent had gone to New York and were at a restaurant for lunch and asked told their waiter about a chaser for their Bloody Mary and he thought it was great. Also when I show people the rotisserie chicken Bloody Mary from Sobelman’s they are shocked!!!
Milwaukee truly is great. Downtown milwaukee is stretched out far....hinders our skyline but opens opportunities to be filled in time. Milwaukee is one of the more densely populated cities in america....happy you enjoyed your time here!
Wish we had a couple more days to explore. I know we missed A LOT.
Do you have any "must do" suggestions for next time?
Thanks! - Dennis
@@EatSeeRV go travel outside milwaukee around the lake country. Hartland, Nashotah, Chenequaa, Oconomowoc, Delafield. That is where all of the founders of southeast wisconsin are from and settled to and where they were right after the native americans. Most came from germany and scananavia such as norway, denmark. Wisconsinites have 100% german ancestry from the people that came here during then. It is the most beautiful area in america.
Thanks for the wonderful review, I luv ❤️Milwaukee born,bred and raised, this city is a great place to raise children, it’s clean for the most part and you can get anywhere on the freeway in 15 minutes , and we have a beautiful lakefront off of Hwy 794, it is the most gorgeous view and shows the true essence of Milwaukee, the people are overall still friendly, we luv it and I’m so glad you did too ❤️
Home of our MLB Milwaukee brewers!
Yup!
@@EatSeeRV : if you like German food, you were in the right city for it too. Maybe next time you’re in town, catch A game and German food. They dance A polka at American Family Field!
#thisismycrew
Thanks for this video. I live in the Milwaukee metro area. Glad you enjoyed your visit here. The city tends to be underrated; some stereotype it as being backwards or run down but as you've shown, that's not true at all. Much of what we have to offer in food and culture is first class. Dining or walking by the riverfront is so nice and there's nothing like just looking out across Lake Michigan.
Thanks for checking out our city. Definitely doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
One notable branch of cuisine you missed in Milwaukee is Greek. We had gyros here before they were cool ;) The Greek family restaurant niche was, for the longest time, late night or even 24h operation. C19 mostly put paid to that. Once you go to "obviously" Greek restaurants like Pegasus, Omega, Mykonos, Oakland Gyros, or Genesis, you start spotting the same hallmarks in many other late night (often 24h, before C19) "family" restaurants around Milwaukee, such as Ma Fisher's, you realize they're all part of that same niche.
Mmm! We love greek!
Thank you for highlighting some of the great things about our city! I know it must be hard deciding what to do in such a short time. I highly recommend going to the Sherman Phoenix if you get back to town. Similar to the Public Market, but it's almost all Black-owned businesses. Lots of food, services and culture! Oh, and Chicago is actually only 90 minutes away, not a few hours :)
Thank for visiting my city!
Hey boo shout out from the mil you guys made us look great and great music
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's not hard to make it look great, we really enjoyed the city.
You would have to have gone on the Near South Side for the Mexican food. Not only plenty of Mexican restaurants over there but plenty of Mexican food trucks too. By statistical data most Mexicans in Milwaukee come from 3 regions: Mexico, Texas, and California. Why they come from California to Milwaukee's ice covered winters I have no idea.
We passed on Mexico's Independence day and realized when we got to the near south side. We must have seen 15 cars with Mexican flags flying on them! You're right we should have known better.. - Liz
@@EatSeeRV, no prob, Liz! Good video though. Very high quality in high definition. 👍
The most Mexicans through the last decades have come through Milwaukee to pick and can the agricultural crops of the harvest season. Very naturally, through the years many have settled through the years on their way to northern Wisconsin. Very rich and beautiful Mexican heritage and place to experience the culture and food of Mexico and southern US.
@@terraincognita2765, yeah, there are lots of Mexican working on Wisconsin farms. Although, I'm not sure that drives most Mexican settlement in Milwaukee specifically. For example, the Mexican from California brought one of their California gangs to the South Side of Milwaukee. And there are lots of Mexicans working in Grede foundry. Mexicans have pretty much taken over residential roofing and arguably commercial drywalling too--at least in labor in the latter, in operating companies as well in the former.
I live near Milwaukee and was thinking same, you need to go the the Near South Side for a Mexican food experience. (BTW my understanding is that our large Mexican population is rooted in skilled workers being brought from Mexico to work in the tanneries way back in the old days.)
I am from Milwaukee born and raised. I graduated from college there and lived most of my adult life there before moving out of town due to job. It is a great city and often gets a bad rap but has so many hidden treasures. The seasons are great and the atmosphere is second to none. Thanks for the visit and glade your experience was good.
I’m happy you enjoyed your 2 days in Milwaukee. Yes, Milwaukee is a very underrated city. Unfortunately, the cold weather days linger a little too long.
I'm sure. I can't imagine it in winter.
@@EatSeeRV It usually just snows in January and February but for the latter half of October through sometimes even april/may it’s just pure cold.
OMG! You did it! Maybe not everything, but the Public Market, the West Allis Market, the 3rd Ward and the gravel parking lot that is the Wis. State Fair Park RV Park! Well described! Next Time tailgating at a Brewers game and the Harley museum. There is a wall of "engine sounds" that Dennis would dream about. Flat-heads, knuckle heads, etc. Turn the handle and listen to the sounds!
Haha! Glad we did a lot in our short time. Yes both of those spots are supposed to be great. - Liz
I Liked The Public Market The Best, But It Was All Great! Thank You!! Hugs To Everyone!!!
Thanks Mickey Mouse! We loved it all
Being from Detroit (thank you for your kind review of Motown), the Midwest is awesome, Milwaukee is awesome!
Hi to you all, we stayed at the Wisconsin State Fair Park in 2019 great location to access all that Milwaukee has to offer, and there is so much to do there and never enough time Thanks for sharing your travels 👍
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed your time there too - Liz
Love this review - MKE deserves the love and good vibes. I was *weirdly* ecstatic to see the Beer Flight Carriers that I built for Lakefront Brewery getting little cameos in the video. Hopefully you enjoyed the beer!
That's awesome you built those! Great job
Milwaukee has like amazing architecture similar to old Chicago. The difference is, Chicago had a fire, Milwaukee never did.
wrong ! the 3rd ward fire on Oct. 28, 1892, wiped out sixteen square blocks, burned down 410 buildings and 215 freight cars !
Phew I’m stuffed! 😁What a fabulous city, such varied vibes, thanks for taking us there. I love seeing markets with local products 👍
Us too, it's such a fun way to see a city!
MKE rocks! one of my fave USA 🇺🇸 cities! Nice video Eat See RV :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it - Liz
I grew up 3 blocks away from the West Allis farmers market. Mom would go every Wednesday and Saturday on Sunday's it turns into a flea market, it was the best place to find old costume jewelry to play dress up as a child.
That's fun! - Liz
Love Wisconsin
It's a great state!
Christine said her favorite part was the lady bugs crawling up the wall of the building. Especially since she painted an old bowling ball to look like a lady bug and it is in on of her flower patches. 🐞
That's awesome! It seems to be a thing up here? We also just saw it in another city? I wonder what it means. We have a love hate relationship with lady bugs. We love the native ones, but the invasive ones from Asia made our RV home for the winter and we dealt with hundreds nesting in our RV our first year on the road 🤨🐞- Liz
Gee...I've lived in Milwaukee for years and never even HEARD of those restaurants. But now....gotta try! Thanks for educating a "local".
Thanks for such a positive video about Milwaukee. I've lived here for most of my life and you showed me a couple places that I still need to try. ❤
And here I am trying to reduce my food intake..... this is torture. LOL! I love food videos as I love to cook. Glad you enjoyed this wee break from diving, snorkeling, kayaking, climbing, swimming, hiking.... to name but a few activities. Noting wrong with the concrete jungle- just small doses is all one needs to feel 'topped up'. See you next week. 🍾🥂🥢 🇳🇿🙋🇳🇱
Haha I'm sorry! I'm sure that sparked cravings. We agree it's a balance. - Liz
Milwaukee food tour, in my opinion:
pork shank at Mader's
fish fry at Packing House (also the banana cream pie)
ice cream (frozen custard) at Leon's
ponza rotta at Jimmy's Grotto in Waukesha
Maria's pizza on 51st and Forest Home
Corned beef or reuben sandwich at McBob's on North Ave.
"better butter burger" at Hooligan's
pastry at these 4 bakeries Simma's, Grebe's, National Bakery, Sciortino's
burger at Oscar's on Pierce
malt or shake at Mazo's (across the street from Leon's)
That Bloody Mary...OMG!
Oh wow - you definitely bring out the desire to go where you are! We aren’t far from here right now - really enjoyed this.
Awesome! Exactly what we're going for - Liz
I loved seeing all great food that looked sooo good on your plates. I was getting hungry seeing it lol! I also liked the market. Thank you for taking me along in this food adventure. Hope you had a great time and have a great week and see you soon!
The food was so good! The market was great too! - Liz
@@EatSeeRV Oh good! It looked good!
You are close to Kenosha now ,,, and Milwaukee is I nice City to visit used to live around that area back in the early 70's , saludos amigos Liz and Danis
Nice!! Saludos Rudy
Sweet! My sister went to college in Milwaukee and liked it so much she stayed in the area. We’ll have to hit up some of those places next time I visit. 🥟
Definitely! Thanks for watching, as always Tara! - Liz
🌹
Wisconsin has a special vibe, makes it hard to leave the kind hearted people
@@maxjaeger40 🌹
Summerfest normally not a weekend event. This year it was a weekend event because of the virus. Normally it's a 10 day run event in late June, early July. It is the world lagest music festival.
Thanks for sharing more info on this!
This was awesome. Also fun fact, I live right by red light ramen. If you make it back, I can suggest a bunch of spots to check out. Also, I hope you got coffee here because Milwaukee is the best city for craft coffee. We're brew city 2 fold.
I remember when you guys videoed in Traverse City Michigan and that's what the first time I decided to follow you and I'm glad I'm following you I love you so much from Traverse City Michigan
I'm glad you did too, Carrie! Thank you :)
My first time in Milwaukee, I went to the Safe House...it's right downtown, did you see it?
We're not familiar with it. - Liz
The Safehouse is a great suggestion!! A classic MKE secret!
@@EatSeeRV
It is a spy themed bar. There are passwords, missions, and "spy" bartenders. It is certainly unique.
It was number 3 in the world voted the best food destination I could have taken you to a lot of interesting places I know the best fine dining too burgers
Wow! Didn't know that.
Glad you enjoyed it out here!
Great video guys, the food looks delicious! 😋
Anne & Eric
Thank you both! The food was so tasty - Liz
They tore down most of the beautiful buildings in the '60s and replaced them with sterile boxes and parking lots. Prior to that, the architecture in Milwaukee was every bit as stunning as Chicago.
We still saw so many beautiful buildings and felt it was just as gorgeous as Chicago! But yes, I'm sure it's changed, as nearly all cities do overtime - Liz
I almost expected John Cleese to offer you a wafer thin mint (Mr. Creosote) after all that food. Yum. Good episode.
Haha! It was a yummy episode - Liz
Summerfest is not every Friday and Saturday through the summer. It usually runs for about ten days at the end of July. (This year it was September for some reason), and it is not free.
I love when you do your food reviews! I live in Wisconsin but have steered away from Milwaukee because I thought it would be too big to be enjoyable. You’ve opened my eyes to a more positive view. I just may check it out in the future. BTW, we just finished 3 weeks touring the UP of Michigan because of your inspiring videos. Couldn’t believe all the sandy beaches! Boondocked at several of them. Also took ferry to Drummond Island as well as Mackinac w our bikes. Thanks so much for all your tips! ❤️
Yay, thank you!
So glad to hear you had such a great time! - Dennis
You definitely need to come to the 414! Tons of great food, art, music and traffic is easy to navigate for a bigger city.
Born and raised in milwaukee. Thanks for enjoying my city!
Too bad you didn't have more time, it looked magnificent!
Agreed!
Hey y’all ….we loved Milwaukee too!I don’t know if you found our card on your window…we were laughing so much…what are the odds of staying at the same place twice ?peace and love…..Ruthie and Annie
We did! What a small world. We LOVED that you reached out again but sorry to have missed you. Seems like our paths will likely cross again at this rate 😉
Lovely!
It's such a fun city :)
My hometown. Great place. Gotta hit summerfest. I stayed at the Wisconsin state fair park RV park many times. It's only 5 minutes to my brother's house.
Just for the record, Summerfest isn't a free event, nor does it run every Friday/Saturday during the summer.
Great choice on both markets. Been going to both for years. Can’t have done better
Wish I was there!
You'll have to come visit. It was a great city!
Thanks for sharing another awesome video like always, very nice city 😁👍🤗
Thanks Miguel!
I love that you love Milwaukee!! Just some food for thought- I used to go to red light ramen before they had a brick and mortar space (it was on Saturdays after 11 at Ardent) but I no longer support them after some very concerning things about the owner Justin Carlisle came to my attention. The restaurant industry can be a weird place, but I don't support serial cheaters and people who treat others poorly. Next time you come, try Tochi in West Bend instead. It's better anyway!
Thanks for the nice review of this great city! However, a tiny bone to pick: summerfest isn't free. They have free days (like if you bring a can of non-perishable food you get in free) but tickets are not free
Yes thank you for the correction for others!
Awesome video!! Thank you!!
You guys missed the best wings at Points East Pub. Award winning!
Glad to see you guys had a Good time here. Your Welcomed back anytime and should meet up with my friends and I, we’d take you to some amazing craft breweries and I’d make ya my homemade beer brats and northern pastès and tailgate for the ballgame. Lake Michigan has some really nice hiking and bike trails to.
One more thing summerfest isn't free
Omg, if i had known you were in town, I’m a big fan.
I use to live by LFB, good times at night lighting off fireworks right by where you sat
It happens for 11 straight days in June do some history it’s only the worlds largest music festival. I’ll provide a guided tour whatever your interest.
Thanks for sharing what it looks like normally. We clearly don't know much about it!
Btw summerfest is $22 entry open from morning till 2am
Thank you for sharing more info!
Now go to the Northwest side and share your thoughts.
I can still think Milwaukee is nice, even if it has some tough neighborhoods. No city is without that
Food portions in milwaukee and wisconsin are huge normally
Come back in June 28th 2022 Summerfest will be lit.
Milwaukee is my hometown.
Milwaukee seems like a very cool city with great architecture. Sounds like good beer makers as well. Hahahahaha. Where next guys, did you mention that? I think you should have crossed the border for a quick visit to Canada. Hahahahaha Cheers!!!
It's beautiful! Yes, beer must be in their blood down there. No Canada for us this year but we're SO close! - Liz
Summerfest is 3 weeks and it's not free
RIP Red Light Ramen.. Closed down recently
Nooooo that place was so good!
@@EatSeeRV I didn’t even get to try it and it was my number one place i wanted to go out to eat to…
Lol wait till you hear a shoot out.
Good ole freeway drive by shooting.
I wish we could've met. great vlog
Are you in Milwaukee? Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! - Liz
You missed everything. I live in Milwaukee and I’m saying that
I'm sure we only had a weekend!
Did you stay near the fairgrounds downtown?
We stayed at the fairgrounds RV park.
Shhh.. We are Trying to keep it a Secret .
I was born in washahara co but i but raised in the south . thank God .Lol joking. But hopefully in 2022 . I plan on spending next summer in the north .
Awesome! I hope you like it. - Liz
When ya coming to Nor-Cal?
2022!
How do you come to Milwaukee and say that the Mexican food doesn't compare to Mexico. And then say that the Ramen in Mexico is sub-par. What were you truly expecting.
Very good point haha
I was born and raised in Northwest Milwaukee but moved to Colorado after college, many years ago. When I went back to Milwaukee in 2008 and again in 2017, it was very disappointing and sad to me. . The once vibrant downtown was dilapidated and nothing much there. The Lakefront was as I remembered, still pretty. Maybe the city is better in 2021. Glad you enjoyed it however.
Was full of life when we were there. I know things have changed for the city over the past decade. You'll have to give it another visit. - Liz
It is better now. There has been a slew of new construction, downtown and elsewhere. Almost all of the expressways feeding into town are getting rebuilt and upgraded right now. The former Grand theater on Wisconsin Ave, vacant for _decades,_ has been brought back to life as the Warner, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's new home, practice space, and performance stage (freeing up dates at the Marcus Performing Arts Center for other acts)
Go further into the city and even if you come out alive or un molested you’ll have a much different view of milw.
I was born in Milwaukee I'm 21
Get out while you can unless you voted for Biden. If you did stay there and get what you deserve
🌈❤️🌹🌈❤️🌹🌈❤️🌹🌈❤️🌹🤩🤩🤩
Glad you didn't get robbed or shot while you were here.
That's cuz she ain't go to the north nor southside
What's with you losers shitting on this city? Why don't you go back to your country town and start a nice family with your cousin?
Unfortunately, nothing you said about summerfest is accurate...
Good thing people can do their own research if an outdoor festival with music sounds up their ally. 👍 Or you can share here
@@EatSeeRV I suppose vloggers could too
Everyone wants to be a vlogger and live van life and be on UA-cam. Clearly it's not for everyone and holy freaking ads. Add a few more and you'll have more ad time than actual video
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I will say, Red Light Ramen is over rated. You'll get better ramen for a fairer price at Artisan Ramen or at Tanpopo
Thanks for the suggestions!
I put them on the list for next time. - Dennis
Milwaukee one of the segregated cities still in america
Nearly every city is segregated. Sadly historical housing policies for and and property rights built a foundation for segregation. A great book on the topic is How to Kill a City if you're interested in learning more.
Great book. I suggest a book by my friend called a 500 dollar house in Detroit@@EatSeeRV
This is like 5% of Milwaukee. The rest of Milwaukee is a hell hole.
Very much not true. Some areas you should stay away from but isn't that true of all bigger cities. Milwaukee has a lot to offer and is a underrated City that only gets recognized when something horrible happens.
@@jillanthony5191 I've lived in Milwaukee most of my life. Downtown Milwaukee, around the colleges and anything along the beach is very nice. But all of that makes up only about 5% of Milwaukee. And West Allis is not Milwaukee. People call it Milwaukee, because it in Milwaukee county. Milwaukee County overall is pretty good, and I will not argue with that. But 95% of the City of Milwaukee itself is a hell hole.
@@wtxohnthao2612
Even though I did grow up in West Allis I have lived in the city of Milwaukee most of my adult life and to be honest I don't see myself ever leaving the area we are in now.
I have to agree that the Northside and a big portion of the Southside is nothing but trouble, lived on the Southside and My husband and I decided to move because of the shootings that were happening only blocks away.
Maybe, but pretty much everywhere is s hellhole
Thanks Chicago for trying to clean out your hoods and sending your refuse up here!
I've lived here for 70 years...worked in law enforcement for 30 yrs. The three most important things to do in Milwaukee are....stay out.....dodge gunfire.....try not to get killed by reckless drivers. With the crooked dems running the city there is little law enforcement and rampant crime!
Milwaukee is the most segregated city in america and a horrible place to live or raise kids. Lived there for over ten years and left during the pandemic. best decision ever
Milwaukee has alot in common with Philadelphia and San Antonio . 100 yr old buildings. I love it .
I LOVE the old buildings!!
