A drink a day: Michelada
I tried my first Michelada in Merida, Mexico, a city of almost 1 million people on the Yucatan Peninsula -- and one that I'd never heard of until my awesome visit there in 2002. Think of it as a Mexican Bloody Mary. Spicy, salty and strangely refreshing, I'm still waiting for it to make its way to Wisconsin.

El comida del Hector's nuevo es muy bueno
I checked out Hector's in Bay View last night, and despite the apparent lack of Latino diners, waitstaff or even music in this new Mexican restaurant -- the food was great.

Alcoholic drinks largely absent in Brew City bars
Brew City has lots of non-beer beverage options -- from fancy wine to rip-roaring Red Bull mixers -- but there are plenty of potent potables that, to our knowledge, are yet to sweat on Milwaukee bar tops.
