Milwaukee's Waterfront on Lake Michigan
Go to the waterfront. Parking is FREE (unlike Chicago!) and plentiful. Miles of open access (with trails & bike rentals) to parks & views of Lake Michigan. Bradford Beach is nice.

BEER!
Lots of breweries. Go on a Brewery tour. Lakefront Brewery has a fun one & great beer & food and a nice neighborhood to wander around. Miller (2 blocks from the house) STILL hasn't reopened their brewery tours YET post covid. PLEASE check because it's WORTH your time & is fun. Nice quick walk down the hill and you're there. Great history. Wonderful old buildings. I used to work there :-) when I first moved to Milwaukee. Who knew beer companies hired Chemists?

ALDI for groceries and CERMAK on Miller Parkway
Good food buys. Cermak has great PILES of fresh produce & every hot sauce you'd ever want as well as freshly made tortillas---still hot! --- & an International section that is 2nd to none. You got a hankerin' for some Slovakian spices? You'll find them here! The first time I went here, I wandered around for an hour.....it felt like a small trip out of the states and into a wonderland of flavors :-)
