Sparking the grill for Stack'd sandwiches
In concept, it's a burger bar. But open Stack'd's menu and you'll be surprised by what you find. Combining the hardworking simplicity of Sobelman's with the progressive attitude of Elsa's, Stack'd pulls the burger completely out of the box.

Milwaukee's best bar of yesteryear, 2009: The Social
The phrase "yesteryear" means different things to different people. Remember when the Brewers clinched a playoff berth? Remember when you weren't afraid to open your 401k statement? Remember The Social? OnMilwaukee.com readers did and they named the recently-closed establishment as their favorite bar of yesteryear.

The East Side's Envy closes shop
I started getting worried when I noticed that Envy, a fun, independent women's apparel store with a skater flair at 2203 N. Farwell Ave., not only extended its holiday sale way past the conclusion of the holiday season, but more so, inflated it.
