Restaurants take hit during brilliant Brewers' run
Good morning, Earlier this week, I wrote a story about how, in the midst of the Brewers' historic postseason success , local restaurants have been struggling . (Full disclosure: I'm writing this the afternoon before Game 5 , so my biggest hope is that, as you're reading this, we're all celebrating a World Series championship.) I spoke with owners of typically bustling spots including Birch , CASSIS , Odd Duck , Maxie's , Nakama , Screaming Tuna , Story Hill BKC and Ca'Lucchenzo . And they all reported that, while they and their staff couldn't be more excited for this thrilling Brewers' run, their restaurants are taking a noticeable hit in the process. Local sports bars may be flooded with customers for each game, but at traditional restaurants, tables sit empty. And with the uncertainty of how many games this series will last, reservations haven't exactly been pouring in for future game days, either. I shared the story on my Instagram , and more messages from local restaurants poured in, all echoing the sentiments of the owners I spoke with. "It's rough out here in the streets. But go Brewers," said Dan Jacobs of EsterEv , DanDan and "Top Chef"

The 6 Milwaukee-Area, Wisconsin Italian Restaurants Where Family Recipes Take Center Stage
One Milwaukee kitchen carries on Italian recipes brought over by the owner’s family. I love that a sauce can cross an ocean and still end up on a dinner plate in Wisconsin. That story is not a one-off around here. Another spot serves recipes passed down through generations, and one even puts the words original recipes right in its name.

Timothy Scott Invites Black and Brown Folks to Enjoy the Outdoors with Urban Nature Connection
Timothy Scott finds being outside therapeutic, which is why he founded Urban Nature Connection (UNC), a nonprofit organization that offers free and accessible opportunities year-round for Black and Brown folks to be immersed in Milwaukee nature. “We can go fishing, or plant a garden, or go for a walk, or just do nothing,” Scott says. With UNC, he is eager to share the physical and mental health benefits of taking walks, going on bike rides and getting fresh air with as many folks as he can. “I’m hearing that a lot of people are more comfortable walking when they’re out there with others. If more people try it, some of it’s going to stick.”

Cocina Filipina Serves Filipino Fare With a New Look
Upbeat energy is flowing again inside a Near West Side building that first popped up on our radars in 2019 as Triciclo Perú. Sometime after the Peruvian place closed in 2023, Lisa Kaye Bistro brought pasties and oxtail-short rib sandwiches, only for the spot to be vacant again last spring. Then, in came Cocina Filipina Fare, a 4-year-old Filipino fusion food truck that inherited its recipes from the late Meat on the Street truck. Besides needing a home base, Cocina was ready to move on from the late 2025 fire that temporarily shut it down.
