If you’ve moved away from Milwaukee, there is an endless list of things to miss. Whether it’s our amazing neighbors, incredible food, or the fact that there’s a celebration every day of the week, it’s impossible to find the feel of MKE anywhere but here. At the end of the day, there’s simply no place like home for a Milwaukeean, but these eight activities will give you a taste of The Good Land.
- Find a shore, any shore.

- Brat it up.
THE VANGUARD/Facebook It might be hard to find our beloved bratwurst out and about, but making them at home is just as delicious. Don’t forget all the fixings! If you can, pair it with a Wisconsin brew for the full experience.
- Get to your local corner bar and make friends!

- Find where the Packer fans hang out.

- Stream some Milwaukee radio.

- Find the nearest cheese curds.

- …and eat your fish on Friday.

- Rep your hometown with pride!
