Kids gonna run at school in Kenosha. I love the easy 2 hour drive from martucky.
Yup, many agree with you. Parkside or Concordia? And do you really live in
Marseilles?A couple Milwaukee Walker's Point notes from Saturday's visit: There's a new bakery/coffee spot, Greige Patisserie, on Florida just east of the Iron Horse Hotel. They make all pastries and cakes on site. I had one of the better chocolate croissants in recent memory. Didn't try, but the cakes available by the slice or whole on order looked outstanding. Good coffee drinks, too, and savory pastries were available. There was wine by the bottle on shelves. I should have asked, but maybe this is a Milwaukee thing - buy an off-the-shelf bottle and drink it there? Same thing at a coffee bar/art gallery (MARN) that I saw that afternoon.
Brunch at Toast Milwaukee on 2nd just north of Florida. This was different from Toast in Louisville (an ok chain) and delightful. We had eggs Benedict, croquettes, and avocado toast. Croquettes were quite good, sausage/bacon/gouda, racquetball size globes very crispy breading, just a little gummy inside. Breakfast potatoes with the Benedict were also notably good if a little peppery. Custom-squeezed OJ from a local source. Fun atmosphere, too. I was definitely the oldest person in the room.
