Milwaukee Public Market, Milwaukee

A hub for locally crafted foods and sweet treats in a stunning building that evokes Pikes Place while honoring its Milwaukee roots. Inside you will find a variety of vendors selling freshly prepared food. The offerings are expansive, so make sure to take a little stroll before making your final decision. You will definitely be drawn to the swordfish in the sky that directs you to St. Paul’s Fish Market. You certainly can’t go wrong there because their lobster roll is incredible. After your tour of the lower level, take your treasures upstairs where there is plenty of seating available. If it’s nice outside, then head outside where you can sit by the river or just take in the livelihood of the Third Ward.

In Chicago there is a place called French market near the Ogilvie station. This public market reminds me of that with a Milwaukee's spin. We love all the variety it offers with a cute little display and classy presentation. They have carefully chosen the selection of old and new favorite. Whenever we have a chance, we try to eat real, clean, slow cooked food and they had all the options we were looking for including a real candy store! We will definitely be back.
