OnMilwaukee.com Recommends: April 30, 2009
We've got a typically eclectic batch of recommendations emanating from the editorial office today, beginning with a hot band (Cage the Elephant, pictured), a swashbuckling kid's game, a do-it-yourself dessert kit, a compelling motion picture about a strange time in American history, a delicious and meatless burger, some funky fizzy water and a favorite watering hole/lounge. Enjoy.

Is Milwaukee losing its retro?
First Goldmann’s closed at the end of September. Then Art’s Concertina Bar. Then Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge. What's next?
