MILWAUKEE — The New York Times released an article Thursday all about the Brew City.
As a part of their 36 Hours travel series, New York Times reporter Robert Simonson visited Milwaukee earlier this month and checked out some of Milwaukee's infamous sites. From the Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, to the Joan of Arc Chapel on Marquette's campus, Simonson saw it all during his 36 hours in town.
In his article about the Brew City, Simonson shared his adventures from location to location. The journalist began at the Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and finished at the Pabst Mansion. He described each location and explained what makes them so unique.
However, the journalist didn't just visit popular mainstream locations but also lesser-known destinations such as The Original, "one of those cozy, tucked-away restaurants — of which Milwaukee has many," according to the article.
"The appealing menu — recent menu items included elk and shiitake stroganoff ($25) and a vegetarian chili bowl with smoked tofu, beans, sweet potatoes, parsnips, shiitakes, onion, Cheddar cheese and crème fraîche ($15) — is both traditional and contemporary, familiar yet eclectic, and every dish comes with a smart cocktail, wine or beer pairing recommendation," wrote Simonson.
The trip would not have been complete without a visit to the Drink Wisconsinbly Pub in the Deer District.
"The bar grew out of a popular T-shirt slogan that has become the state’s cheeky unofficial motto. It’s a goofy, fun-loving joint," wrote Simonson.
Simonson finished the article by mentioning a few local hotels including the Ambassador Hotel.
After the story was published, Mayor Tom Barrett shared the article on Twitter.
Thanks for stopping by our city @nytimes, we hope to see you back here again soon. 36 hours is not enough time to explore all that Milwaukee has to offer! https://t.co/vRtNfUbKAp
