Rachel & Stephen
Things To Do
Lakeshore State Park
A beautiful place for a sunny walk along Lake Michigan in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. Just a few blocks away from the Third Ward! You may even catch some people taking wedding pictures around here ;)
Kopp's Frozen Custard
Rachel's favorite spot for custard and a great spot for a quick burger and fries! Note: there are three locations (Glendale [closest to downtown], Brookfield, and Greenfield [closest to the church]).
Mason Street Grill
Stop in for a drink at their bar and enjoy some live music, just as Steve and Rachel did on their first date 5 years ago. (Of note, this is a fine dining restaurant)
Milwaukee Public Market
We highly recommend the Acai bowls and smoothies from On the Bus!
Zócalo Food Park
A favorite spot of ours featuring a variety of local food trucks. We recommend grabbing some arepas from Anytime Arepa and checking out Supermoon microbrewery just around the corner!
The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward
A place we love for their truffle fries, craft root bear, and craft beer! We recommend their cauliflower wings and their dessert skillets...who can turn down a warm brownie?! (Note: service can be slow, but the food and drinks are well worth it!)
Marquette University
Interested in checking out where we graduated from? Take a casual stroll down Wisconsin Avenue and explore campus. We love the St. Joan of Arc Chapel and frequented Cramer Hall and the Shroeder Complex during school.
3rd St. Market Hall
Picky eaters in the family? 3rd St Market Hall has something for everyone! Stephen and Rachel enjoy the self-pour craft beer station! The best part...it's connected to the hotel that our room block is through (Courtyard by Marriott).
Caffrey's Pub
Oh Caffrey's...how ya doing sweetheart? Grab a pint and some ~free~ popcorn at this bar on Marquette's campus to check out where our love story began 5 years ago on Mug Night. Rumor has it the groom rode the rail here many years ago.
The Wicked Hop
Interested in trying a Bloody Mary? We highly recommend the Wicked Hop! If they are busy, an alternative option would be Cafe Benelux across the street! Both spots have a great brunch menu as well.
