Summer and romance go hand in hand. Summer vacation, walks on the beach, picnics in the park…but pressures of the adult world make it hard to get away for a vacation for two. While a romantic getaway to Hawaii or Tahiti may be out of reach, Milwaukee, Wisconsin has romantic destinations to keep the home fires burning.
If you love art and architecture, head downtown to the exhilarating Milwaukee Art Museum. Situated downtown on the lake, the building’s dramatic profile is defined by the Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday 10 am to 5 pm, and open until 8 pm on Thursdays. Stop by the Cafe Calatrava, where floor to ceiling windows overlook Lake Michigan. On warmer days, venture out to the patio for some of the best views of the lakeshore.
Another romantic favorite is Bartolotta’s Lake Park Bistro overlooking Lake Michigan and surrounded by Milwaukee’s Lake Park. The French restaurant features wood floors and large windows, and authentic French cuisine worthy of a special occasion. For a more casual approach and outstanding frozen custard, try Kopp’s, known for their burgers and custard, with locations in Greenfield, Brookfield, and Glendale. Did we mention the custard?
Window shoppers can head to historic downtown Cedarburg for boutique shopping, artist studios, and wine tastings. The Cedar Creek Winery, located in the Historic Cedar Creek Settlement Shops, is an award-winning winery, offering tours and tastings daily. Tours are by appointment. Visit the last remaining covered bridge in Wisconsin for a romantic photo opportunity right out of Bridges of Madison County, and plan a picnic along Cedar Creek.
If you’re looking for a real “get away from it all” experience, try our discount coupon for Sybaris Pool Suites in Mequon, Wisconsin, where rooms feature in-room whirlpools and fireplaces. Even phones are limited, so leave all of your troubles and responsibilities at home. This couples’ retreat promises plenty of ambiance, perfect for a day’s getaway for a birthday or anniversary. You may not even want to leave your room.
What are your favorite romantic Milwaukee destinations?

 photo by Digidave They say everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, you can be Irish for an entire week.
Irish Week kicked off March 4 with the Shamrock Club’s annual Birthday Party at the Irish Cultural Heritage Center. Irish Week spotlights Irish culture and pride, and includes Irish dancers, music, and a Mass in Honor of St. Patrick. The week of festivities concludes on March 13 with the time-honored Shamrock Club of Wisconsin’s 44th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Milwaukee, the biggest St. Patrick’s Day parade in Wisconsin.
While The Shamrock Club is celebrating its 44th anniversary of producing the parade, the tradition dates back to 1843, before Wisconsin had even achieved statehood. The parade takes place at noon, and features more than 150 units, including Irish dance groups, pipe and drum corps, local celebrities and dignitaries.
The parade will proceed east from the Shops of Grand Avenue on 3rd and Wisconsin, north on Plankinton, west on Kilbourn, north on Old World 3rd Street, east on Juneau, and south on Water Street.
Following the parade is the Shamrock Club’s Post Parade Party from 1 to 6 pm at the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center at 2133 West Wisconsin Avenue, headlined by Different Drums of Ireland.
If You Go
Save on your hotel with our discount travel coupon for the Baymont Inn & Suites of Glendale, Wisconsin, or use this lodging discount for the AmericInn Lodge & Suites of Germantown, Wisconsin.
Parking is $2 during the event at the Shops at Grand Avenue.
Parade spectators are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate. Volunteers collect the donations in shopping carts during the parade.

 A tunnel of fall color on a Wisconsin rustic road No matter how many times we’ve seen it before, the change of seasons from summer to fall is one of nature’s greatest shows in Wisconsin.
Highlights of rust and orange wash over the deep green of treetops across the state. Vibrant gold canopies line rustic roads and join overhead in a tunnel of color. The white steeples of country churches and stout red barns dot tall bluffs ablaze with color, overlooking brilliant valleys. Wisconsin’s many lakes mirror a hazy reflection of jewel-toned sky, birch, and maple alongside a stand of waving cattails. Then there’s the forest floor, where bright red sumac parades across golden yellow prairies, ferns and grasses take refuge under auburn oaks, and leaves crunch beneath your feet.
For the latest updates for fall colors, check out Travel Wisconsin’s fall color report. Communities around the state report peak color conditions, recommend scenic routes, and discuss local activities and happenings. Finish your free leaf-viewing tours with discount gift certificates from Rtownshopper.com. We’ll get you there with hotel travel coupons in 19 cities and numerous discount restaurant coupons for dinner and a “show.” Autumn’s show comes for free, but it’s here for just a short time before it’s gone.
Where’s your favorite place to view Wisconsin’s fall colors?
