Milwaukee & the Arts?
 
Hi,
We have an afternoon in Milwaukee... during Labor Day Weekend.
Is there an area of the city that has art galleries......and any suggestions for lunch?

Re: lunch--what type of food, what budget?

The Third Ward, south of DT, has several galleries and interesting shops.

A nice lunch......price doesn't matter.
Type of food? Anything but Sushi!

If you have a street/streets that you could suggest for galleries....thanks!
