The Public Market features 20 specialty food vendors, with products ranging from bread and baked goods, wine and spirits, candy, cheese, coffee, fresh produce, meat, poultry and seafood.
Sendik's, which has been in business for more than eight decades, provides a wonderful shopping experience at stores in Elm Grove, Franklin, Germantown, Grafton Greenfield, Mequon, Wauwatosa and Whitefish Bay, along with three locations operated by another branch of the family, in Bayside, Elmbrook (124th Street and North Avenue) and on Downer Avenue.

Farmer-My point is that Milwaukee has many markets with so much more to offer. The only way the Public Market could be considered best is if you are limited to shopping in the third ward and have no possible way of reaching a Sendiks, Whole Foods or Metro Market.

Saturday mornings at the Milwaukee Public Market are great. Crowded, buzzing and the place to be for great food and good people. Congrats.

If a tree falls in the forest...If no one shops at a market can it be called the best...

rrr -- this market has a huge parking lot and plenty of street parking. not sure what your point is. it's very easy to get to via car or walking or bike.

If you live in the third ward, do not own a car, bike, scooter or bus pass.....then yes this is your best bet.
