Milwaukee Food Tours

Ever been on a food tour?

If you like to eat and you like to learn new things about your city or a city you are visiting, I highly suggest trying out a food tour.  Milwaukee Food Tours was started by a couple who went on a food tour in NYC and when they came back her to Milwaukee they thought, "Why not give this a go in Milwaukee?", and we are glad they did!

The tours are all about two to three hours long and are for the most part walking tours of about two miles.  The tours are lead by locals ranging from college students to thespians to retired teachers looking to have some fun.  I personally am a fan of the Brady Street tour and the 3rd Ward tour but there are may tours to try!  What I especially like about the company is that they take real pride in teaching their tourists about the history and culture behind the food and location along the tour.  For me, when touring I find it important that the tour is equally amusing to educational and I think Milwaukee Food Tours does a fantastic job!

Milwaukeeans don't think that if you have lived here you know all that is to know about Milwaukee.  This is a great activity for tourist and locals alike!


...and she's back!

I know, I know, I made a commitment to be good about this blogging thing and then I stopped completely!  The SHAME!  Well folks, I got a new job and I have been travelling all over the Midwest and not spending quite as much time in good ol' MKE as I had hoped BUT I am back and things are slowing down so I am here with a great MKE update coming your way.

Thanks for hanging in there.

Cheers!  M
