Turkish Lunch
When Tulip opened
last summer, Milwaukee became home to its very first Turkish
restaurant. Diners seem to be responding, as Tulip has now expanded to
serve lunch. The lunch menu offers fewer options than dinner, but there
still is that delightful appetizer of vegetarian stuffed grape leaves.
Though
the interior style is that of a Third Ward loft, the focal point of the
dining room is a sitting area with leather sofas and an Oriental rug
centered in front of a large fireplace—making it perfect for a visit
this time of year. You’ll also find tasteful Turkish accents, from
ceramic tiles to the colorful lamps that hang over the bar. Turkish
food is tasty and accessible, including meat kababs and a miniature
ravioli called manti.

No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
