On the town in Milwaukee: Bocce, music and art at the Intercontinental
What if, instead of choosing from myriads of bars, restaurants and entertainment venues to cobble together an evening of fun, one place offered food, drinks and unique events? The Intercontinental hotel has fun on tap -- from lobby bocce to an art and fashion show, live indie music and even the occasional free beer.

We're recommending solid music by Ryan Adams and the Cardinals (pictured), Adele and Dennis Brown, along with a tasty pie, an incredible burger and, well, let's just say that no recommendation would be complete without a novelty condom.

Kilawat's new menu is locally-sourced comfort food
Two things that everyone is talking about nowadays are eating locally and comfort foods. Both come together on the new menu at Kilawat, of which I got a sample in a tasting menu lunch recently.
