Ideas for hungry Labor Day out-of-towners
Hosting family and friends from out of town this Labor Day weekend? Here are three of my favorite eateries when it's nice and summery in Milwaukee. Of course I have a laundry list of other places with outdoor dining that I'm itching to try, but I can only speak from experience — and in my experience, these spots are sure to be a hit!
Cafe Corazon. For a brunch that's a saucy, sloppy mess of tortillas, eggs, rice, beans, meat, and cheese, look no further than Cafe Corazon in Riverwest. This is the spot to bring anyone who loves Mexican food and Mexican-style brunch. It's especially good for hangovers and birthdays (they'll stick a candle in some guac for you!).
Barnacle Bud's. This beach-style shack in Bay View is all about the experience. The place feels like a vacation from Milwaukee with its eclectic decor and patio on the water. The menu reflects the ambiance: Lots of grouper and shrimp. Looking for bloody marys? Barnacle Bud's has a brunch-time bloody mary bar with your name on it.
The Cafe at the Plaza. This place is a hidden gem if I ever saw one. It's located inside the Plaza Hotel (which is near the lakefront), and the outdoor dining happens in a quaint, ivy-covered courtyard — so Secret Garden! The Cafe at the Plaza should win on atmosphere alone, but then the food is scrumptious too. Lemon poppyseed pancakes anyone?
