St. Patrick's Scene: The Irish Pub and Slim's
One of the small perks of my job at OnMilwaukee.com is my office that I share with the rest of the editorial team. It's a big, bright sunny room with three gigantic windows that overlook the hub of the East Side: the intersection of North and Farwell Avenues.

Milwaukee's best fish fry, 2008: Lakefront Brewery
Milwaukee loves a fish fry, but they can be pretty similar. Cod. Perch. Cole slaw. French fries. Potato pancakes. When it came time to pick a favorite, though, our readers decided to emphasize the entire dining experience at Lakefront Brewery Palm Garden. The Brewhaus Polka Kings, with accordions and lederhosen, helped sway the voters.
