Neighborhoods

Trendy neighborhood with access to Lake Michigan and some of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. **Go vintage shopping and grab a bite to eat on Kinnickinnic Avenue between S 1st Street and Logan. Come back at night for the bars and late night brats and bourbon at Vanguard. Then finish up with a decadent slice of pie from Honeypie. **Check out Tuesday evening concerts and the daily beer garden in Humboldt Park during summer. **Walk, run, or ride along the Oak Leaf Trail with beach access and views of downtown and the lake. There’s a beer garden right on the lake with a full food menu, too. **Hit up the Saturday Farmer’s Market at South Shore Park. If you want croissants from Rocket Baby Bakery, be sure to go before 8:30 am. You can find Door County cherries sold here, inexpensive flowers, and fantastic tamales and salsa. Live music starts around 10 am. The Green line bus and the 51 bus serve this neighborhood and go right by our apartment.

Architecture and shopping fanatics should check on the Historic Third Ward. **Boutique shops and chains like West Elm and Anthropologie rub shoulders here. **Stroll along the canal or rent a kayak or SUP from Milwaukee Kayak Company to explore Milwaukee from a different view! You can find the walking past on your left just past the bridge that turns S 1st Street into Water Street. Kayaks rent for $35 for four hours. **Grab lunch and some cheese or wine at the Milwaukee Public Market. There’s seating upstairs or outside. **Take a class at Spire, Barre Code, or Yama Yoga — tons of boutique gyms in this neighborhood.

The heart of Milwaukee’s nightlife is in this young melting pot of a neighborhood. Airbnb wrongly lists it as in Sheboygan — it’s definitely not! **Brady Street is the center for drinking, dancing, and having fun. **Want to learn a new skill? Try axe throwing at AXE MKE. **Catch an indie movie at the beautiful old Oriental Theater. **Head down to Bradford Beach for sun and swim, maybe even surfing. **Jazz Estate is a historic and popular jazz club. **Look for street art and murals by local artists.

Be careful driving in North Milwaukee.

People drive fast and some treat red lights as suggestions.
