The walk around the river is a relaxing way to spend some time any time of the day. You will see various buildings, sights and people around the stroll.

Right on the Milwaukee river, next to the Lake, this neighborhood is full of converted warehouses. Great shopping, restaurants, river walk and charm. If you come to Milwaukee, take the time to walk this neighborhood. Cute and charming.

I liked that there were so many shops in close walking distance and friendly people/entertainment. I disliked how hard it was to find good parking.

Love this part of Milwaukee though I must say parking is a hassle. I love all the hip stores around it and the old town feel. There's something for everyone. I also love the Public Market where you can buy deli and cheese to bring home.

This restored historic district was bustling with activity even with chilly temperatures, but the parking is scarce and difficult to find. We also enjoyed Hudson's coffee shop, as it was a local take on an upscale Starbucks.... More

Like visiting Boston or parts of NYC. Lots of restaurants, and wonderful small shops...walking around fun. The PUBLIC MARKET is so much improved and the food was really good. The shows at Broadway Theater Center were marvelous and such a beautiful facility...bravo!
