A Treasure Trove of American History: Unveiling The Prominent Americans

A Treasure Trove of American History: Unveiling The Prominent Americans

As a history buff with a particular fascination for American figures, I was ecstatic to discover The Prominent Americans. This unique product piqued my curiosity – a collection of beautifully crafted, miniature figurines depicting iconic individuals who shaped American history.

Beyond the Textbook: Bringing History to Life

What truly sets The Prominent Americans apart is the focus on storytelling. Each figurine comes packaged with a captivating booklet detailing the individual's life story, accomplishments, and impact on American society. These booklets go beyond dry facts and figures, weaving a compelling narrative that brings these historical figures to life.

A Gallery of Greatness in My Home

The figurines themselves are a sight to behold. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, they capture the essence of each prominent American. From George Washington's stoic expression to Marie Curie's determined gaze, the figurines transport me back in time and spark my imagination. Whether displayed individually or curated as a collection, The Prominent Americans add a touch of historical charm to any room.

A Learning Experience for All Ages

The Prominent Americans aren't just visually appealing; they're incredibly educational. I've found myself delving deeper into the stories of individuals I might not have known much about before. This has sparked a renewed interest in American history not only for me but also for my children. They love learning about these historical figures through the engaging booklets and the interactive element of the figurines.

More Than Just a Collection, It's an Investment in Knowledge

While The Prominent Americans might initially appear as a collection of figurines, it's much more than that. It's an investment in knowledge and a captivating way to learn about American history. The combination of beautifully crafted figures and informative booklets creates a unique learning experience that's both engaging and enriching.

A Recommendation for History Enthusiasts (of All Ages!)

If you're a history buff like myself, or if you're looking for a captivating way to introduce your children to American history, then The Prominent Americans is a must-have. It's a beautiful collection that educates and entertains in equal measure. The attention to detail, the captivating stories, and the interactive element make it a truly unique product that I highly recommend.

Brasil-sil-sil-sil

Natalie Scatorccio x Fem!Reader

Tw: I tried to translate as best as possible some Brazilian terms and things that in reality I think would not really have a translation, but that I still tried to make it understandable for everyone.

(English is not my first language)

Natalie who loves you very, very much and is obsessed with your culture, like she thinks it's so amazing and loves hearing you talk about it <3

Natalie has never been interested in really learning other languages, I mean I think she would know a little bit of Italian but mostly the swear words, but Portuguese? She is really interested in it, mostly the swear words (of course), but she really thinks it beautiful so much when you speak it and she always says that you sound like you are "singing".

Natty would try to make Brazilian food when she saw you sad and missing Brazil. She's not really a great cook but what counts is the intention and hers were definitely the best.

Her first real trip abroad would probably be with you and obviously with the destination being Brazil :))) thinking about your family who travels during Christmas and New Year's time to celebrate with their relatives in your country and you beg your parents to take Natty along :3

Natty who is literally like this: 😲 and you're still just at the airport lol

Leaving the airport and taking an Uber to her grandparents' house and she spends the whole way glued to the window like a puppy, looking and pointing at everything she sees and thinks is cool.

Thinking about living near the Center/Copacabana and she can see Christ the Redeemer from inside the car and she's all bouncy like:

"I want to go there, can we go there? Please, come on, come on, please it looks so cool!!"

Natty really likes Brazilian architecture and the aesthetics of more traditional houses because it is so cozy and has a warm, comfortable vibe.

Natty who loves her family because well...people can say whatever they want about Brazil and Brazilians, but the fact that we are an extremely warm people is kind of undeniable.

You would probably serve as a translator to mediate conversations between her and her family members since few of them actually speak English, yet, despite the language difference I can easily imagine her having conversations with your grandmother without your help where neither of them can really understand what the other is saying, but somehow they understand each other (??) they are not speaking the same language or anything but you just catch them talking and agreeing and getting along really well while Natalia helps her peel potatoes in the kitchen.

Natalie would be 100% a fan of MPB, samba and funk (especially old funk).

I can really see her loving Rita Lee, Alcione, Claudinho e Bochecha, Mc Marcinho (and secretly Mc Carol and yes, I think she would probably know what Carol's songs are about because she asked, she would also find the lyrics the height of humor).

Natalie who totally loves and worships Brazilian bikinis and would look like a cartoon character, eyes popping out into big hearts and tongue drooling 😭😭 she just loves you so much and thinks you look so hot in one.

She loves how Brazilian barbecue is so different from American barbecue and I honestly think she would like Brazilian barbecue better.

Her love garlic bread.

She would love to go to museums and tourist spots and would want to take lots of pictures with you and she is not really a fan of taking pictures but she just wants to have memories of good times with the girl she loves so much :(( she is so sweet.

I would love to take out at night to enjoy Pedra do Sal and I know she would love.

Trying to teach her to samba but she is a bit clumsy, however she learned to shake it funk like a good Brazilian very quickly and you are in shock, because what the hell did they do to your sweet girl 😭😭😭 your cousins taught her and she thought it was super fun, she shows it to you like she just won an award, full of pride for having learned and it's cutie.

Imagine going to the beach with her and having to drench her from head to toe in sunscreen because she's so white and otherwise she'd be as red as a shrimp 🤏 so baby, I can't stop thinking about her with her cheeks and the tip of her nose covered in sunscreen because her face is the place that burns most easily.

Drinking caipirinha on the beach and eating corn with butter or fried fish with potatoes <33333

Playing ball with random people on the beach because a game between two or three people always ends up attracting strangers who end up joining in the game :)))

She would 100% buy a bracelet, earring or ring from some artisan seller on the beach.

Getting bikini tans on the beach with her and bleaching your hair on the roof of your house with her and your cousins ♡♡♡ imagene her sitting on the roof with your hair wrapped in aluminum foil and a towel over your shoulders with your cousins while you wait for it to be time to wash the product.

Again talking about the fact that Natalie likes swear words because she would really love them and would love the variety of swear words and expressions that Brazilians use to show anger or indignation because there are SO MANY options and they seem so much funnier.

100% buy a blouse from Brazil or if you have one she just takes yours >—<

Imagine celebrating New Year's Eve with her on the sands of Copacabana and kissing her when the countdown ends, she would melt like butter in your arms and love the fireworks

Now let's talk about the religious part:

A little discretion and observation: Umbanda is an eminently spiritualist and spiritualizing religion. Therefore, the faith professed by its practitioners, most of whom are mediums, requires a strong belief in God and in the existence of the spiritual world that interacts with the material plane all the time. For those who are interested, I recommend that they research and study more about it, as it is a very beautiful and interesting religion; here I will not go into much depth on the subject because I am not a practitioner and I do not see myself having a great place to speak and understand it, despite finding it incredible.

She would be like a curious puppy honestly, asking questions all the time and being all curious about everything.

She would try to record the names of the Oxirás and Pombas Gira because she thinks they sound good and are cool to pronounce.

She would find the clothes and leashes so cute and I can see her asking if she can wear a leash too <3

If she went to a Terreiro during a party for one Oxirá she would literally look like this: 😲😲 like so amazed by everything.

She would love to interact with the entities.

If she had the opportunity to be in contact with the Erês at some point, I can really imagine her sitting on the floor playing with them and being so sweet <33 and they would really like her.

She would like to try to learn how to sing a point and try to understand the "difficult words" and she wants to learn so much because she knows that your religion is so important to you and if it is important to you, then it is important to her too.

I would be extremely angry if someone tried to offend your religion in any way.

Rusty Anchors

Maybe it was ordained in the stars that one Charles Vane would meet James Flint, but at the moment the singer had no idea of the man. In fact all he cared about at this moment was getting a drink at this pub. He liked England. Hell, he fucking loved it. If he had the choice he might not ever leave it, but Charles was a wanderer. He liked seeing different places, meeting different peoples and cultures, learning different languages.. which one might not expect from the leather-clad rockstar. His band was due to play tonight at this particular city, which he also enjoyed immensely. It’s closeness to the sea was a calming thing. His father adoptive father Edward was a sailor, and he had fond memories of being on the sea. Before he’d taken him in, Charles had been nothing but a scared child in a fucked up welfare system. But look at him now.

Yes, look at him. Charles Vane, lead singer of Rusty Anchors. This was his band, a band he’d formed when he was young and now they traveled the world. The UK was a particular destination favorite, as it seemed they had more fans there than even in the US. It might be why Charles had decided to get an apartment there, and this quaint seaside city was the town he chose. He was clad in leather from head to toe. It was hot as fuck but it damn sure looked good on stage. Besides, who didn’t enjoy a sweaty Charles? He’d lined his eyes with kohl, black leather vest atop a short sleeved red shirt. He was dressed for the gods, but right now all he needed was a fucking drink.

The concert tonight had him a bit stressed out. It was a big one, and as cool as he might’ve looked, Charles just wanted everything to go smoothly. There was already chaos backstage and the damn thing hadn’t even started. Hell, he’d walked out of the rehearsal. He needed some space. So he ordered two doubles of whiskey, immediately pounding one down. He was going to take the other and get some air outside, when he turned too fast and slammed into a stranger. His drink spilled, partially on whoever the fuck this was that got in his way — and of course this is Charles’ haughty ass so HE was the one who got offended, staring at the other man as if he’d committed the world’s greatest offense.

“ Watch where you’re going, asshole. “ The words grumbled forth with an eyeroll. And he was so in his own head he didn’t even get the best look at the guy. He’d just turned around, determined to ignore him and get another drink.

See, this was why Americans got bad raps as tourists and visitors.

Day 18 - Across Germany

Time to travel to my last destination!

Five hours of train are too many hours of train ;_; especially if you're sitting backwards and you only have a little bit of window ;_;

Also this part of Germany is very similar to northern Italy (not the cool mountainy part; the flat, field after field part). Looking out the window, I could be in Lomellina or something XD

First impression of Freiburg I'm Breisgau: very good! The old town looks lovely from what I see from the tram, but the sun is so hot that I decide to go rest for a bit and go outside later.

(I'm starting to feel like an American, but... WHY THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING ANYWHERE. I mean, I can guess why, but... Maybe a fan? A lot of places I've stayed in the past had just a fan and it was perfectly alright, and instead there is just the heat. Everywhere.)

I take a walk through the old town in the perfect golden hour light, and yes, it's a lovely place. In some ways a nice parallel that this is the last stop when Innsbruck was the first (it's not the same area and they are not the same, but there's something of a similar vibe in some details).

One of the characteristic things of Freiburg are these tiny canals that run on one side of most streets in the old town. They are very beautiful, and there's lots of people walking barefoot in them, or sitting on the curb with their feet in the water and... It looks very refreshing but all the people that are doing it seem to be tourists and I cannot help but think about the tourists that bathed in the acqua alta in Venice (which you really, really shouldn't do). I really hope this is different XD

In the tiny Colombi park there's a small stage with some South American folk dancers. Love that I managed to find some musical event here as well :D

Nikia Character Details for Reference (Updated 6/26/23)

reference sheet for Nikia (my SI/OC). Maybe one day I'll actually have consistent character design lol

Race: Skypiean Adjacent—no official title

Birthplace: Summer Isle

Occupation: Rescue Ranger and Writer

Skills: Advanced flight, stealth, sniper, writing, violin, and advanced observation Haki.

Morality Alignment: True Neutral

Personality: Introvert, quiet, socially awkward, shy, dry humor, and mischievous.

Favorite color: Tie between jewel tone colors, pastels, and neon.

Random details:

Wings are more emotionally expressive than her face, which has strong RBF energy.

Wings and hair is more wavy/curly, particularly when longer. Feathers not strictly on wings, covering the area immediately around the base of her wings and up her shoulder blades.

She has incredibly bad eyesight and is nearsighted.

Doesn’t enjoy uninvited physical contact unless she’s close to them, but will accept light contact if asked. Usually.

Hates having her neck touched or exposing thighs and arms.

Sensitive to the cold but tolerates heat well.

Enjoys naps, reading, and winter.

Lightly germophobic and will not eat/drink after others.

Prefers smaller social groups.

Has southern (American) accent that strengthens when she speaks fast, gets frustrated, or passionate.

Curses a lot but occasionally uses softer curses like “ah, beans” for humorous effect.

Weird about eye contact (all or nothing) and likes structured days.

Nervously fiddles with her hands such as picking, cracking her knuckles, preen, and vague gestures.

Has issues with textures on her skin and with food.

Often scares people by politely waiting for them to finish what they’re doing off to the side. Does find this funny despite not usually meaning to do it.

Prefers layered clothing like sweaters, sweatshirts, and jeans. Cannot wear heels.

Basic rapid fire background

Lives on the Winter Isle, which is very close to the much more popular tourist destination Summer Isle. Both function as tourist destinations with modest local communities that are a mix of human, sea-folk, and a local variety of Skypiean who naturally have larger wings (typically from head to knee in terms of relative body length). They fish, hunt, and host a variety of activities on both islands.

Winter Isle in particular is known for luxurious natural hot springs as it's main draw. Summer Isle is naturally known for its beaches and luxury spas that compliment the one on Winter Isle. A ferry service runs between the islands daily to facilitate travel without overwhelming the ports or overly disturbing local fishing expeditions.

Nikia happens to be one of the first that have spontaneously grown wings large enough to support flight with evidence that this is a growing trend for the local population. She often has to hold her wings back and out to prevent excess dragging on the ground in leu of heels.

Nikia typically lives alone in a cabin that can accommodate her wingspan and larger guests. She works on writing between her normal duties as an Elite Ranger for the Winter Isle. Due to her ability to fly (and the required skill of Observation Haki for Rangers), she is one of the first called to find lost tourists, particularly children that she can easily carry with minimal equipment.

Since the isles are tourist destinations, it's often visited by would-be slavers. Unbeknownst to the tourists, these slavers are spotted and isolated to be 'disposed of' without ruining the upbeat atmosphere. Nikia is the first, and currently, only user of a specialty made rifle capable of shooting from high altitudes through blizzard conditions for sniper shots on particularly dangerous opponents. Her use of this weapon is passed off as self-defense or for hunting predators on the mountain to keep her guests at ease.

Last Morning in Flores

I allowed myself a sleep in until 7am since is this meant to be a holiday after all! My breakfast today was at Cool Beans cafe, overlooking the lake. It was a huge pile of fresh pineapple, papaya, banana and melon alongside the French toast and then topped off with a latte. I ate in the company of a little cat and a lizard and then asked the guy working there for advice about the boats because I was going to ride one but didn’t want to get ripped off. He gave me a hand drawn map and told me the price was Q10 but warned that they might charge me tourist prices… with the map in hand I set off to the dock to find my ride. Of course there is no shortage of people shouting, “Hey amigo! Need a ride?” So I could jump into the first boat I saw. The ride was very short, only about 4 minutes to get to the little town of San Miguel on the other side of the lake and amigo charged me Q10, no real ripping off anywhere in Guatemala so far! Following the map I walked twenty minutes across the island to the beach on the other side, Playa Chechenal. Supposedly this is a private beach and an entrance fee is required. I didn’t see anyone taking money so I just poked my head around the shore and then headed back inland. The next destination was the site of an archaeological excavation. I’m not sure exactly what they were excavating but there was also a viewpoint through the trees to the island of Flores. I saw some monkeys on my walk through to the other side and set some dogs off barking as I walked back down to the waterfront. I found some good places for photos with the wharf, boats, and a waterfront sign. Got myself a cold bottle of water for the ride back and then boarded a boat back to where I’d started, I finally found myself a Guatemala magnet that worked for me and then went back to the hotel to shower, pack my bag and check out. The taxi that picked me up to take me to the airport had a woman and child in the front seat so it was definitely a collectivo (shared taxi) but he charged me Q50 when I thought it would be Q25. I just gave it to him since it’s only about $4 anyway! Since I was so early to check in I ditched my bag and then walked to the entrance of the airport to a nicely painted plane. I’d seen a lot of street art on the way into the city from the airport but it was too hot to walk around looking at it so I resigned myself to going through security and sitting quietly to wait for boarding. The terminal building was nice and small, with big windows so you can clearly see the runway. I figured we’d be boarding the same plane that’s flying here so made sure to watch for when it landed! The tiny airport and 30+ heat reminded me of Samoa, I think Fiji had a bigger airport but Samoa was very similar to Flores. One controller headed out with his lightsabers and then about 5-6 bag boys and the cart with everyone’s bags followed. A few people stood at the windows to watch the action of the plane arriving, everyone disembarking, bags coming off, toilet getting emptied, gas getting filled up, bags loaded on and then the gate opening for us. When I arrived in Guatemala City I went to find a place to sit to get my hoodie out and repack my bag. Outside was thunderstorms apparently and I had learned my lesson the first time that once you leave the airport you’re out for good! I sat near the tourist information booth and a presumably American girl asked me if I wanted to share an Uber with her to Antigua. I told her I’d already booked and paid for a shuttle at 7.30pm and she reluctantly paid the $12 for the ride out to Antigua. Even that was a better deal than I got but I was determined to see a slice of Guatemala City and not skip it entirely as most people do...

Discovering North America’s Hidden Gems: Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures

North America is a continent teeming with well-known landmarks and bustling cities, but its true allure often lies in the lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path destinations that many travelers overlook. From secluded islands to remote mountain ranges, these hidden gems offer unique experiences far from the usual tourist trails. Whether you’re seeking solitude in nature, uncovering cultural treasures, or exploring historical sites, these adventures promise to reveal a side of North America that is both enchanting and surprising.

Venture into the backcountry to discover hidden waterfalls, old-growth forests, and the remnants of early settler communities, all while enjoying the serene beauty that defines this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Known for its red sand beaches, rolling countryside, and charming lighthouses, PEI offers a glimpse into the maritime culture of Canada.

For a taste of the American Southwest, the enchanting landscapes of New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness await. As one of the first designated wilderness areas in the United States, the Gila is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who crave adventure away from the crowds. Here, you can hike through rugged canyons, soak in natural hot springs, and explore the ancient cliff dwellings of the Mogollon people. The Gila River winds through the area, offering opportunities for kayaking and fishing in a pristine environment.

In Mexico, the Copper Canyon—a series of six interconnected canyons larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon—is a must-see for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. Located in the northern state of Chihuahua, the canyon system is home to indigenous Tarahumara communities, who have lived in the region for centuries. Ride the famous El Chepe train through the dramatic landscapes, hike the remote trails, or visit the quaint villages perched on the canyon’s edge to experience the rich cultural heritage of the area.

Posted: 3/15/2024 | March 15th, 2024 Adam, one of my friends from the website Getting Stamped, wrote the guest post that follows. He and his spouse have lived in Milwaukee for a long time, and since I have never been, I asked him to give me some advice on traveling there. I think Milwaukee is underappreciated. I adore it! Situated just 1.5 hours north of Chicago, the largest city in Wisconsin is the ideal size—not too big, not too small. It has excellent sports teams, enjoyable festivals, and delicious food and beverages. Besides, it is cheap. Not to mention the welcoming locals! My spouse and I have lived here for twenty years and the whole time, respectively. We have seen a lot of the world, and we could have settled down anywhere when it came time to start a family. But we choose to come home to Milwaukee, which has so much to offer. If you want to know how to experience it like a local, here are my insider tips:   1. Stay central I highly recommend staying downtown or in the Third Ward. This is where most of the popular attractions are located. The hotels might be slightly more expensive than elsewhere, but you’ll save on transportation costs since everything is walkable. These are two hotels I love: 2. Take advantage of free rides Milwaukee does not have a subway system, but it does have an amazing free streetcar service called the Hop, with numerous stops downtown and around the Third Ward area. Simply hop on and off—no tickets or reservations are needed! The Hop runs every 15 minutes during peak times and every 20 minutes off-peak and on weekends. Click here for the map and schedule. Insider tip: If you are heading to a sporting event, many bars and restaurants offer free shuttles to American Family Field for Brewer baseball games and concerts, Summerfest Grounds for festivals and concerts, Fiserv Forum for Bucks basketball games, and other events around town. 3. Eat like a local You might think Milwaukee’s all beer and cheese (and there is no shortage of those), but the food scene has a lot more to offer. Milwaukee has its own (sometimes quirky) food traditions and staples, like ButterBurgers and frozen custard. It also has some incredible markets where you can enjoy some of the city’s best food from many vendors, all in one place and in a fun and affordable food hall atmosphere. These are two of my favorites: 3rd Street Market Hall: This is a must-visit destination, as it provides a place for tourists and locals alike to enjoy Milwaukee’s diverse cuisine. Here, you will find the aforementioned frozen custard, plus pho, pizza, burgers, artisan sandwiches, tacos, hot dogs, home-cooked meals, ramen, sushi, arepas, and so much more—all at affordable prices. Milwaukee Public Market: Located in the historic Third Ward, this awesome market is the best place to patronize a wide variety of vendors with unique products, food offerings, and drink pairings. It’s a unique spot to experience the flavors of Milwaukee’s culinary scene, all under one roof, and soak in the local culture while shopping or grabbing a bite.   4. Indulge in local delicacies There are a few foods that you need to try that you (maybe for good reason) will not find in many other places. They are unique, tasty, and, overall, pretty affordable! Deep-fried cheese curds—yes, it’s a thing, and they are amazing—order them and thank us later. Lakefront Brewery is our top pick. Frozen custard: It may look like ice cream, but it’s much richer and creamier, with a few extra ingredients. Kopps is the best place for it (and great burgers)—and also one of those places that, if you don’t go, did you even visit Milwaukee? Bratwursts are another Milwaukee staple. Nobody does them at a higher level than Vanguard Restaurant in the Bayview neighborhood. It is best known for its amazing house-made sausages, including vegan options, with many at an affordable price of under $10. In this list, we have only focused on the Milwaukee favorites, but foodies who want to delve

deeper into the culinary scene may also want to check out our full list of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. 5. Explore brewing history While microbreweries aren’t exactly a new trend, Milwaukee has been brewing since before it was cool. At one time, it brewed more beer than any other city in the world. That history is evident all around town in breweries, restaurants, and pubs. Lakefront Brewery offers probably the best brewery tour in the city. It’s a lot more fun than just looking at shiny tanks and sniffing a pungent jar filled with hops. The tour guides are hilarious (some are literally comedians from a local club), and your tour will include four beer samples. This is by far the best value and our personal favorite tour—pplus, the beer hall is a lot of fun. The tours are super popular and sell out on the weekends, so it is advised to purchase tickets in advance. If you want to keep sampling local beers, make sure to check out a few other of my favorite Milwaukee breweries: MobCraft Beer: This brewery offers tours and also has a great taproom with tasty pizzas, as well as really good IPAs and sour beers. Eagle Park Brewing Company: They do not offer tours, but they do have a huge selection of unique sour beers. Good City Brewing: There are two locations: the eastside one offers tours, and the downtown one does not. But the latter is right across the street from Fiserv Forum and a great place for a beer before a game.   6. Do some affordable activities Milwaukee has way more to do than we could squeeze onto this page, but we’ve narrowed it down, focusing on must-do and budget-friendly options (some are even free!): Bradford Beach: This is a sandy park on the shorelines of Lake Michigan. Bring a towel and go for a swim, join in a game of beach volleyball, or grab custard at MooSa’s or lunch at The Dock Waterfront Bar & Grill. Stroll the Milwaukee Riverwalk. Experience the heart of the city and immerse yourself in its culture. Many of Milwaukee’s best shops and restaurants can be found along the three-mile route along both sides of the Milwaukee River. Disc-golf at Milwaukee County Parks: Milwaukee has 11 disc-golf courses—six full ones ($5) and five short-practice ones (free). Bike the Oak Leaf Trail: Milwaukee County offers over 135 miles of trails for cycling, many of which feature scenic views of Lake Michigan. You can find the trail map here. Bronze Fonz: Stop to take a picture with a bronze sculpture of Arthur Fonzarelli, aka the Fonz, from Happy Days (a sitcom about a Milwaukee family in the 1950s). Indoor lawn games at 3rd Street Market Hall: Enjoy a variety of unique restaurants and free indoor games, including giant Jenga, cornhole, shuffleboard, and golf simulators. It’s a fun place, especially when the weather isn’t great! After you’ve scoured this guide, if you need to fill any blank spots in your itinerary, we have an in-depth list covering all of the things to do in Milwaukee. 7. Enjoy free-admission days Some of Milwaukee’s top attractions welcome visitors for free on certain days. Watching the calendar can score you free tickets that otherwise would set your group back hundreds. 8. Chase cheap happy hours For better or worse, the people of Milwaukee enjoy their fun times intertwined with a beer or three. To kick off an exciting night in Milwaukee, head to where the locals go: find a good happy hour or go to a budget-friendly dive bar. McGillycuddy’s: $1 taps, $2 craft beers, $4 rails and mixers, and $5 appetizers (Tuesday–Friday, 3–7 ). Mo’s Irish Pub: $2.72 drafts, $5 wines (Tues–Thurs 4–6pm, Fridays 3–6pm); also free brewery shuttles. Milwaukee Brat House: Happy Hour specials change daily (Mon-Fri 3-6pm).   9. Explore the vibrant public art scene Many places around town have large-scale public art displays that you can visit for free. Most of these pieces are in some of the most fun and trendy areas. These are a couple of our favorites: Black Cat Alley,, one of the largest areas dedicated to public murals,, is located near North Avenue in the Eastside neighborhood.

In addition to the art, you’ll also find great restaurants, breweries, and artisanal shops. Sculpture Milwaukee Annually, this city-funded program displays sculptures by artists from across the world on Wisconsin Avenue. Some are permanent,, and some are changed out every year, so there are always new things to see.   Posted: 3/15/2024 | March 15th, 2024 Adam, one of my friends from the website Getting Stamped, wrote the guest post that follows.

Situated just 1.5 hours north of Chicago, the largest city in Wisconsin is the ideal size—not too big, not too small. It has excellent sports teams, enjoyable festivals, and delicious food and beverages. Besides, it is cheap. Not to mention the welcoming locals! My spouse and I have lived here for twenty years and the whole time, respectively. We have seen a lot of the world, and we could have settled down anywhere when it came time to start a family. But we choose to come home to Milwaukee, which has so much to offer. If you want to know how to experience it like a local, here are my insider tips:   1. Stay central I highly recommend staying downtown or in the Third Ward. This is where most of the popular attractions are located. The hotels might be slightly more expensive than elsewhere, but you’ll save on transportation costs since everything is walkable. These are two hotels I love: 2. Take advantage of free rides Milwaukee does not have a subway system, but it does have an amazing free streetcar service called the Hop, with numerous stops downtown and around the Third Ward area. Simply hop on and off—no tickets or reservations are needed! The Hop runs every 15 minutes during peak times and every 20 minutes off-peak and on weekends. Click here for the map and schedule. Insider tip: If you are heading to a sporting event, many bars and restaurants offer free shuttles to American Family Field for Brewer baseball games and concerts, Summerfest Grounds for festivals and concerts, Fiserv Forum for Bucks basketball games, and other events around town. 3. Eat like a local You might think Milwaukee’s all beer and cheese (and there is no shortage of those), but the food scene has a lot more to offer. Milwaukee has its own (sometimes quirky) food traditions and staples, like ButterBurgers and frozen custard. It also has some incredible markets where you can enjoy some of the city’s best food from many vendors, all in one place and in a fun and affordable food hall atmosphere. These are two of my favorites: 3rd Street Market Hall: This is a must-visit destination, as it provides a place for tourists and locals alike to enjoy Milwaukee’s diverse cuisine. Here, you will find the aforementioned frozen custard, plus pho, pizza, burgers, artisan sandwiches, tacos, hot dogs, home-cooked meals, ramen, sushi, arepas, and so much more—all at affordable prices. Milwaukee Public Market: Located in the historic Third Ward, this awesome market is the best place to patronize a wide variety of vendors with unique products, food offerings, and drink pairings. It’s a unique spot to experience the flavors of Milwaukee’s culinary scene, all under one roof, and soak in the local culture while shopping or grabbing a bite.   4. Indulge in local delicacies There are a few foods that you need to try that you (maybe for good reason) will not find in many other places. They are unique, tasty, and, overall, pretty affordable! Deep-fried cheese curds—yes, it’s a thing, and they are amazing—order them and thank us later. Lakefront Brewery is our top pick. Frozen custard: It may look like ice cream, but it’s much richer and creamier, with a few extra ingredients. Kopps is the best place for it (and great burgers)—and also one of those places that, if you don’t go, did you even visit Milwaukee? Bratwursts are another Milwaukee staple.

Nobody does them at a higher level than Vanguard Restaurant in the Bayview neighborhood. It is best known for its amazing house-made sausages, including vegan options, with many at an affordable price of under $10. In this list, we have only focused on the Milwaukee favorites, but foodies who want to delve deeper into the culinary scene may also want to check out our full list of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. 5. Explore brewing history While microbreweries aren’t exactly a new trend, Milwaukee has been brewing since before it was cool. At one time, it brewed more beer than any other city in the world. That history is evident all around town in breweries, restaurants, and pubs. Lakefront Brewery offers probably the best brewery tour in the city. It’s a lot more fun than just looking at shiny tanks and sniffing a pungent jar filled with hops. The tour guides are hilarious (some are literally comedians from a local club), and your tour will include four beer samples. This is by far the best value and our personal favorite tour—pplus, the beer hall is a lot of fun. The tours are super popular and sell out on the weekends, so it is advised to purchase tickets in advance. If you want to keep sampling local beers, make sure to check out a few other of my favorite Milwaukee breweries: MobCraft Beer: This brewery offers tours and also has a great taproom with tasty pizzas, as well as really good IPAs and sour beers. Eagle Park Brewing Company: They do not offer tours, but they do have a huge selection of unique sour beers. Good City Brewing: There are two locations: the eastside one offers tours, and the downtown one does not. But the latter is right across the street from Fiserv Forum and a great place for a beer before a game.   6. Do some affordable activities Milwaukee has way more to do than we could squeeze onto this page, but we’ve narrowed it down, focusing on must-do and budget-friendly options (some are even free!): Bradford Beach: This is a sandy park on the shorelines of Lake Michigan. Bring a towel and go for a swim, join in a game of beach volleyball, or grab custard at MooSa’s or lunch at The Dock Waterfront Bar & Grill. Stroll the Milwaukee Riverwalk. Experience the heart of the city and immerse yourself in its culture. Many of Milwaukee’s best shops and restaurants can be found along the three-mile route along both sides of the Milwaukee River. Disc-golf at Milwaukee County Parks: Milwaukee has 11 disc-golf courses—six full ones ($5) and five short-practice ones (free). Bike the Oak Leaf Trail: Milwaukee County offers over 135 miles of trails for cycling, many of which feature scenic views of Lake Michigan. You can find the trail map here. Bronze Fonz: Stop to take a picture with a bronze sculpture of Arthur Fonzarelli, aka the Fonz, from Happy Days (a sitcom about a Milwaukee family in the 1950s). Indoor lawn games at 3rd Street Market Hall: Enjoy a variety of unique restaurants and free indoor games, including giant Jenga, cornhole, shuffleboard, and golf simulators. It’s a fun place, especially when the weather isn’t great! After you’ve scoured this guide, if you need to fill any blank spots in your itinerary, we have an in-depth list covering all of the things to do in Milwaukee. 7. Enjoy free-admission days Some of Milwaukee’s top attractions welcome visitors for free on certain days. Watching the calendar can score you free tickets that otherwise would set your group back hundreds. 8. Chase cheap happy hours For better or worse, the people of Milwaukee enjoy their fun times intertwined with a beer or three. To kick off an exciting night in Milwaukee, head to where the locals go: find a good happy hour or go to a budget-friendly dive bar. McGillycuddy’s: $1 taps, $2 craft beers, $4 rails and mixers, and $5 appetizers (Tuesday–Friday, 3–7 ). Mo’s Irish Pub: $2.72 drafts, $5 wines (Tues–Thurs 4–6pm, Fridays 3–6pm); also free brewery shuttles. Milwaukee Brat House: Happy Hour specials change daily (Mon-Fri 3-6pm).

  9. Explore the vibrant public art scene Many places around town have large-scale public art displays that you can visit for free. Most of these pieces are in some of the most fun and trendy areas. These are a couple of our favorites: Black Cat Alley,, one of the largest areas dedicated to public murals,, is located near North Avenue in the Eastside neighborhood. In addition to the art, you’ll also find great restaurants, breweries, and artisanal shops. Sculpture Milwaukee Annually, this city-funded program displays sculptures by artists from across the world on Wisconsin Avenue. Some are permanent,, and some are changed out every year, so there are always new things to see.
