Milwaukeeans are very easy-going people, but we stay happy because of our amazing city and the things within it. Milwaukee culture is unlike anything else, and we’re home to the best of the best! These ten amazing things might not be so ordinary, but we would never go without!

Many people go out on Fridays to dance the night away, and we do too... but we do it at a local fish fry. No Friday is complete without a fish dinner and polka dancing with fellow Milwaukeeans — it's the highlight of our week, every week, no exceptions. Bring on the coleslaw and rye bread, too!
