Kid-friendly Milwaukee restaurants: 2009
Sure, kids love chowing out of boxes at the golden arches, but Milwaukee is filled with many other easy, affordable restaurants just waiting to clean the food, sugar packets and forgotten small toys from under your table.

Things are pretty complicated in the world these days, so we're sticking to some simple pleasures this week. A favorite song from Marshall Crenshaw (pictured), a tasty dish from Beans & Barley, a book about pets, a place to have your pants fixed and the simplest, quickest side dish known to man.

Why not have brunch twice?
Considering yesterday's beautiful weather, I deemed it a lazy Sunday and decided to have brunch twice. Of course, I didn't plan this in advance but when a friend called to get brunch at Trocadero mid-brunch at Beans and Barley, I decided to venture over for my second consecutive brunch of the day.
