Things to Do

The Thornasso’s Top Picks – Drinks and Dining


2A Wine Merchants

Our favorite wine bar and the site of our first toast with family, after the surprise engagement.


Bavette La Boucherie

Its tiny storefront originally won us over and now its new location never disappoints.


Buckley’s

We loved them at their first small location, and we still loved them when they bought the building next door; wonderful food and unique, stylish décor.


Camino

When you just really crave a burger and a craft beer.


Sorella

Couldn’t forget the Italian restaurant where we celebrated with family after our engagement!


The Outsider at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel

Rooftop bar + espresso martini = our perfect nightcap!


The Thornasso’s Top Picks – Things to do


Milwaukee Art Museum

Even if you don’t have time to head inside for a visit, take a walk to the lakefront and, from the outside, watch the “wings” of the Santiago Calatrava designed building open at 10 a.m., flap at 12 p.m. and close at 5 p.m.!


Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward

Stroll around our neighborhood and enjoy the shops, galleries and many of the restaurants and bars listed above. This is the area where the wedding festivities will be held. Stop by Café Benelux or The Wicked Hop for a Bloody Mary or the Public Market for a wide variety of food or a wine flight!


Milwaukee Visitors Guide

Plenty to do if you have more time!
