FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Get your weekend started early with a late lunch at Riley’s Sandwich Co. & Social House. It’s dog-friendly so be prepared to dole out a few pets! If you’re in the mood for something sweet after sandwiches, grab a signature cupcake from C. Adam’s Bakery in the Milwaukee Public Market or walk off your lunch with a stroll along the Milwaukee River.

The Historic Third Ward is 10 square blocks of Milwaukee’s past, present and future. Once a rough and tumble spot along the Milwaukee River, it rose from ruin — not once but twice — to become the arts and culture district it is today.

 

It’s Midwest Nice all the way.
