Milwaukee is beer (the Pabst and Miller legacy still hangs in the air), bratwurst (with the proper amount of mustard, please), and a Lake Michigan shoreline that goes on forever. Frozen custard is a regional specialty and a serious one. The Calatrava-designed art museum has wings that literally open and close on Lake Michigan. Friendly here means you'll have a new friend by the second beer.
the verdict
more each month than Albuquerque ran you
Barely costlier than Albuquerque. If Milwaukee pulls you in, it's the life it offers, not the price tag.
