City advice
What to pack
Layer up!
Milwaukee weather can be unpredictable, especially in summer! Don’t forget a jacket and pants as well as shorts and tanks!
Useful phrases
Bubblers!
True Milwaukeeans use the word “bubbler” to refer to a water fountain. It dates back to the original Kohler fountains - look it up!
Ways to save
Avoid Deer District bars and restaurants!
While convenient for the DNC, you’ll find better food at more affordable prices outside of that area!
