The Milwaukee Public Market

Let's Eat! 

Chances are if you've visited the fair city of Milwaukee in the past you may have checked out the ever so glorious Milwaukee Public Market. The Public Market is a great place to stop for a  bite to eat or for a bit of sight-seeing when you're out and about in the Third Ward.

This place has a little somethin' somethin' for everyone which is why it's one of my favorites. If you're feeling sushi they've got it. Craving a sweet treat? Look no further. Perhaps you want to keep it simple and are yearning for a sandwich? They have you covered!

Featuring bakeries, wine bars, sandwich shops, Mexican food and not to mention cheeses galore (this is Wisconsin after all) the Milwaukee Public Market has it all! The only downside to all of this fabulous-ness is everyone wants to experience it. If you're visiting on a weekend or over the lunch hour you can expect there to be a crowd. No worries though, in my experience the wait has always been worth it!

I have yet to experience everything the Public Market has to offer but I do have some favorites! If I'm fancying a sandwich I almost always go to the Green Kitchen. Here I order the beloved #14, a Panini with turkey, artichoke spread and loads of veggies. It comes hot off the press in a generous serving sure to satisfy even the largest of appetites.

Almost impossible to resist is C. Adam's Bakery. Showcasing ginormous cake slices, tantalizing cupcakes and seemingly endless trays of cookies your sweet-tooth will cry hallelujah! I can personally vouch that these treats are as delightful as they look. Sure, the cake slices are humongo but once in a while you've got to treat yourself!

Milwaukeeans love their coffee! With many specialty roasters in the area there are lots of different brews to choose from. Anodyne Coffee is the java pit stop featured at the Public Market. If you need a little pick me up to help fuel your adventure for the day give Anodyne a whirl!

As I said earlier these are only a few of the many different food and beverage options the Milwaukee Public Market has to offer. I have yet to be disappointed by a visit and I'm sure you will love your experience too! Oh and here's a special insider tip just for you... There is a ramp next to the market where you can park free for up to an hour with proof of purchase inside the market! Just be sure to ask whoever checks you out to give you a parking voucher. 

Happy Exploring!

They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side. http://bit.ly/2E1Bx9I Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast! Don't make the same mistake as I did and be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online,but be wary, print is the only ticket option so be sure you have a printer handy. If you forget to buy tickets ahead of time or if you're printer is acting up(darn things, grrr) fear not, Lakefront now offers 20-minute "mini tours" Saturday evenings. Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the

The American Horror Story Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans' rich history made for the perfect setting for season three of AHS, Coven. From Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau to deranged mass murderer Delphine LaLaurie, these figures weren't just characters in a TV show, they were real people who lived out their days in The Big Easy and who left their mark on the city forever. Now, AHS did take a few artistic liberties, for example, Laveau and LaLaurie weren't sworn enemies, in fact, they weren't even alive during the same time period. But AHS also got some things right, in addition to crafting Gris-Gris bags for healing and good luck Marie Laveau really was a hairdresser and Delphine LaLaurie was indeed as dark and sinister as portrayed. If you find yourself in NOLA and want to do some Coven-inspired sight-seeing here are a few stops you won't want to miss.  Marie Laveau's Tomb  Nestled in the famed St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 , you'll need to join a tour group to experience this piece of living history as it&

What to do in Crescent City

I recently checked a visit to NOLA off my bucket list and was impressed with all the city had to offer. A diverse mix of locals and tourists, music everywhere and an interesting art scene, our five days in New Orleans were well spent.  Exploring the French Quarter  Now I know that most people will tell you not to spend your trip trapped in the French Quarter, but man, there is just so much to see and do there. Odds and ends shops, tantalizing food and of course, booze, the French Quarter is jam-packed with excitement every which way you look. So, like the tourists that we were, we went against the abovementioned advice and spent a good chunk of our time exploring it and I'm glad to report that we didn't feel it was time wasted.  Once the home of early European settlements, the French Quarter has plenty of interesting history to explore including the intricate iron-detailed buildings that line the streets. Tiered and colorful, the architecture of this area is if
