The challenge for Shepherd Express readers, voting in the city's original and longest-running annual Best of Milwaukee survey, is that there are so many choices, so many possible "bests" in almost every category. The best bar in a city of taverns? It could be the bar with 40 craft brews on tap, or it could be the bar with $1 rail drinks. Every category holds a bounty of experience, be it yoga, music, or the piercing of your choice. It's always a difficult choice, but that hasn't stopped our readers from sharing what they love about Milwaukee, a city whose varied and affordable way of life is the envy of many major metropolises. Just ask the Chicagoans who flock to Milwaukee every weekend.
