Pick Three – Milwaukee Area
Denice Waldhuetter
Vice President; Professional Events & Consulting; Menomonee Falls, Wis.
What are three great ways groups can take advantage of Milwaukee’s dining scene?
Walking Food Tours: One of the best ways to discover the sights and flavors of Milwaukee’s most delicious and historic neighborhoods is with a walking food tour. Guests can taste locally made foods while learning about Milwaukee’s rich immigrant history. The tastings will add up to a generous meal, and the tour features drink samples as well as an opportunity for unique insight surrounding the restaurants and neighborhoods visited. Private tours can be customized to suit the needs of a group. For example, parties can be planned in one venue, highlighting multiple ethnic plates. Milwaukee Food Tours offers several additional options that can be built into the experience to create unique outings for private groups.

Taking the Stage
Despite its beers and baseball facade, Milwaukee holds its own when it comes to a cultured performing arts scene. The city boasts opera companies, a world-class symphony, a nationally acclaimed ballet company and an array of professional dance and theater companies.
"We’re a bit of a surprise for people who come from out of town, that there is the variety and quality of arts that are here," says Paul Mathews, president and CEO of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts (414.273.7121), located in the center of the downtown Theater District and home to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Ballet Company, Florentine Opera Company, First Stage Milwaukee, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra and At the Center community concerts.
