    I've been to Milwaukee many times, mainly to watch the Cubs @ Miller Park (formerly known as) and Fiserv forum (steep walkways in the nosebleeds) but highly recommend going to Lakefront Brewery, their downtown is very similar to Chicago's.
    Also, remember going to this place called Cubanitas, it was a late night, had empanadas and sangria- spot was cozy! Just a suggestion. Great video!

    -Bradford Beach
    -Bay View (South Shore Park terrace/beer garden, restaurants/shops on Kinnickinnic, etc)
    -Milwaukee County Zoo
    -Milwaukee Public Museum
    -Custard at Leon’s, Kopps, or Gilles
    -The Rave/Eagles Club
    -River Kayaking or River/Lake cruise
    -Pedal Tavern through the Third Ward
    -Holy Hill (further out, but very cool, especially in fall)
    Probably missing more, but just some things from my personal list. 👍

Im born in Hamburg Germany as my parents both moved over here in the 90s but I did live in Milwaukee for 4 years age 5-9 and never forgot the magic of Kopps Custard!!! Lived in Whitefishbay at the time and there was a Kopps right around the corner, I can still taste that vanilla cookie dough!

UA-cam is doing itself a disservice by not promoting your videos, with your talent, you should have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. I have never seen a UA-camr who provides so much detail about a city's past, architectural marvels, museums, breweries, hotels, places to eat and enjoy the city. P.S. Cities across the US should hire you to be their spokesperson, you did an awesome job with this city. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.

The drivers in Milwauke are craaaazy and way worse than Chicago. People blow red lights all the damn time like it's no big deal. That's why a lot of people ride the limes and their bikes on the sidewalks.
