Love this part of Milwaukee though I must say parking is a hassle. I love all the hip stores around it and the old town feel. There's something for everyone. I also love the Public Market where you can buy deli and cheese to bring home.

We enjoyed the sights, smells, and busyness of the Public Market. We found great variety and there truly is something for everyone here. This restored historic district was bustling with activity even with chilly temperatures, but the parking is scarce and difficult to find. We also enjoyed Hudson's coffee shop, as it was a local take on an upscale Starbucks.... More

Like visiting Boston or parts of NYC. Lots of restaurants, and wonderful small shops...walking around fun. The PUBLIC MARKET is so much improved and the food was really good. The shows at Broadway Theater Center were marvelous and such a beautiful facility...bravo!

Love theThird Ward and I am there often to eat, shop or just walk around. I have also enjoyed a pub crawl with Third Ward bars and the Pedal Tavern. My one complaint is the lack of parking, but it won't stop me from visiting. There are many places I love to eat in the Third Ward, and many galleries... More

Greta selection of galleries, shops and restaurants on the ground floors of loft buildings. The whole place is anchored by the fun Milwaukee covered market. Great part of Milwaukee to wander, especially on their art walk nights..

The Third Ward in Milwaukee is the best of a downtown neighborhood. Restaurants, shopping, condos and apartments in every price range. If you're a foodie, you must spend some time in the Milwaukee Public Market - Middle Eastern, Mexican, Asian, Italian, fish market, salad specialties, spice shop, oil shop, wine shop.......... much more. If you visit Milwaukee, the Third Ward... More

Started with the market and ended with the Goodwill "boutique" which couldn't have been more charming! Perfect place to spend the afternoon and to get the flavor of Milwaukee!!! Short walk from the center of town - I wouldn't miss this!
