2 Best Places to Shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Once a rundown mall, this retail space reopened in 2006 as a trendy open-air shopping center. There's something for everyone here, including an H&M clothing store, Trader Joe's grocery, and a Discovery Channel Store. Dining options range from Potbelly Sandwich Works to Devon Seafood Grill. When the weather's nice, it's a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon browsing.

Although Milwaukee's downtown shopping center has declined from its heyday, it still packs an impressive amount of shopping into a few city blocks. Shops here include Boston Store (a Milwaukee institution) and Brew City Beer Gear—a necessary stop for all things beer and Milwaukee.
