Having grown up in Bay View there are a few things in my life that are staples; Sweet Rolls, Friday Fish Frys, the South Shore Water Frolics, and Leon's Custard Stand. If I had to use one word to describe Leon's I would have to say. "quality". I always see the delivery trucks out back bringing in the fresh ingredients, and you can taste them in their custard. My favorites would have to be the Leon's Special which is a super sundae with their yummy salted pecans. If Mint is the Flavor of the Day, I would highly recommend a Mint Hot Fudge Sundae. It's absolutely delicious. My fiance is prone to a chocolate custard sundae with the strawberry sauce. Ya the parking can be a pain, but the line moves quickly and the prices and custard are worth the wait. Thanks Leon's for sticking to your guns, maintaining your quality and menu over the years, and of course for continuing to support the South Shore Frolics. Summer wouldn't be the same without the two of you!
Pros: Best Frozen Custard On Earth, Awesome Hours, Great Quality

I work a block a way from Swig and my coworkers and I frequently visit for happy hour. We don't always eat when we visit, but when we do it's always amazing. For us however, the happy hour prices combined with attentive service and relaxed atmosphere make it our only destination in the neighborhood. After working down the street for over six years with limited options, we are thrilled to have this gem in our neighborhood.
Pros: Happy Hour, Service, Food, Ambience
Cons: Parking

I love Pizza Man Pizza!! It's a little pricey, but it's so yummy. You can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. My favorite is the chicken with artichokes and cream cheese (I know it sounds weird, but it's soooo good!).

Social environment. It is hip bar dining. The burgers and dessert are great. Best Martinis in Milwaukee. If I have to take someone in their 20's or 30's for a trendy, unpretentious burger meal with alcohol, I would choose this establishment. Service is above average. I have taken many people who are unfamiliar with downtown Milwaukee and everyone loved this place.
Pros: Trendy burger bar with great drinks
Cons: None

This goes out to all you Webber-Haters out there! George Webb is a cool, happening place to go at, well, at whatever time you want! Just because they cater to the after bar crowd after midnight does not make them a bad place. As for an "ethnically diverse" place that does not discriminate against poor or homeless folks, what the hell is wrong with that?! If you're a daddy's litte rich girl or even just a snob, this place isn't for you. For the rest of us hard working folks who just want a sit down restaurant that's not going to waste all of our beer money, George Webb is the place to be. All you Webber Haters can go somewhere else! (PS - tip the staff, waitstaff don't get minimum wage and with such inexpensive food, tipping them is important.) Party on!!

We dine at Harbor55o several times in a year,miss the Pieces of Eight, but the building and the crew are mostly the same, if you are looking for that open water,ships sailing by in the warm weather or that chance to watch Mother Nature in her finest weater chances, Harbor 550 is the place. Have had warm and grand experience there for almost 40 years..Please bring you childern and see how dinner can be a family affair. You can't compare the view of the Lake right at your window to anyother lunch, dinner or just let's have drinks with any other spot in SouthEastern Wisconsin or the Gulf of Mexico..
Pros: Its the only place I have seafood, any thing..always very nice
Cons: They put ice in the Alexander Brandy

I haven't really tried the custard but the Chicken Caliente Sandwich is phenomonal. It's basically a sandwich with chicken, wing sauce, and jalapenos. Amazing! The fries are good too.
Pros: Chicken Caliente Sandwich

The Milw Co Zoo is one of the best in the best in the US. It keeps animals in their natural habitats, and more interestingly, places predators very near their prey, kept away only by moats in most instances.
A wonderful zoo at a great price. If you are a Milwaukee County resident, show your id on Mondays and get in for reduced admission.
