While Milwaukeeans already know just how cool their city is, Esquire recently took notice.
The city was featured in the May 5 article "5 Unexpectedly Awesome Domestic Cities to Fuel Your Wanderlust" by Ashlea Halpern. The story highlights five places with "an abundance" of culture, architecture and good food, but are less trafficked than cities, like Los Angeles or New York.
While most locals don't pronounce Milwaukee as "mill-e-wah-que" like Alice Cooper did in "Wayne's World" and Halpern reminded us of in her piece, she did give some well-deserved shout-outs to a handful of Milwaukee favorites.
One of the restaurant's Halpern highlighted was the small-plate eatery Odd Duck, which is reopening Tuesday for in-person dining after more than a year without.
