A newer restaurant in downtown Milwaukee is a place called Moe's - on Plankinton Avenue. My Son says great food. As for German Fest - what to wear - In Wisconsin - the weather can change in a matter of minutes - I would check weather - right on the lake can get cool especially at night. And of course go to Leon's for custard - Everyone who comes to town to visit - always hits Leon's (was on Food Channel) Enjoy.

If you'll have "localguy" with you (or reasonable facsimile, he'll need lederhosen. For those who want a sneek peak at that garb, check here:

Enjoy your trip! (I'm a Milwaukee native myself.)

I'm also coming home for a bit in August.

I'll try Moe's.

The restaurant at Hotel Metro was very nice when I was there last.

The third ward is really growing--more and more restaurants and galleries. We like Coquette Cafe, Sauce and The Palms. Water Street has lots of bars, very popular with the 20 and 30 somethings. For a fancy meal, I'd chose Sanfords or Eddie Martini's. The area around 6th and National has lots of Mexican restaurants--La Perla is always fun. Singha Thai in West Allis is my favorite Thai place. What kinds of places do you like?
