Make a (restaurant) list and check it twice
My wife and I eat out often, but too often fall "victim" to going to the same old places. So, I made a list of places we need to go to. You should too.

Eating good 'n' cheap in Milwaukee
Pinching pennies until payday? Well, you still have to eat ... and while the higher end, trendy joints seem to get a lot more media play, hometown Milwaukee has more than its share of some great places to get cheap eats that won't bust your budget, and will leave you with a happy tummy and a smiling face.

Despite long history, martinis still thriving in Brew City
There is something about a martini. Maybe it’s the glass: tall, stemmed and sometimes intricately designed, or perhaps it’s the crisp, cool liquor that just kisses the upper quarter of that glass when properly poured. Or maybe it's the implied status boost. Doesn't matter why; Milwaukee just loves 'em.

Buffalo wings guide
The exact origin of Buffalo wings is unknown, but many Milwaukeeans might not even care. It doesn't matter who started the craze, just as long as there are enough places around town that can keep it going.
