Often it takes a non-local for us locals to appreciate all that Milwaukee has to offer. Admit it, you don't explore our city as much as you'd like. None of us probably do.
Thankfully, though, our fine staff and those from the countless travel sites and blogs continue to find the gems and jewels that make Milwaukee great.
The latest collective list comes from gadling.com. In a post called "Traveler's Guide To Quirky Milwaukee," writer Jessica Festa takes a tour of several of the places that help keep Milwaukee weird and wonderful.
The Bronze Fonz, Bryant's, Kochanski's, Safe House and others made her list.
Enjoy it here and remember to support all of the quirky places that make Milwaukee great.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
