Just for you - Progressive Ethnic Meal
As a special tour not available to the general public, we’ve created a Progressive Ethnic Meal as an option for private tours of 15 or more. This was designed to show off the city while talking about our ethnic past. This tour includes stops on German Old World 3rd Street for cheese, sausage, beer/root beer, a drive through Milwaukee’s Irish Third Ward, an entree at a traditional ethnic restaurant, shopping and samples at some of Brady Street’s most authentic Italian eateries (lunch only), and of course, leave room for dessert at one final stop. It’s a progressive meal with a side of history designed to show off Milwaukee’s neighborhoods in a delicious way.
