Have a co-worker whose daughter is touring Marquette next week and looking for restaurant recommendations in the area. Haven't been down there in quite some time as I only come back to Milwaukee once a year. Can you guys throw out some recs on some good restaurants in the area for burgers, Mexican, steak, etc.?
Well, driving in Venice would be quite wet.
St. Louis is the Applebee's of American cities.
Haha This'll be my third adult try, 7th visit overall. once in college with ex, once with college friends, now with fiancé. So I like to think I'll have given it a fair shake as a city

By the way, I forgot he has Galway in his name. He really needs to hit up McGurk’s in Soulard for an outdoor beverage if he has Galway in his name. Beer garden is in the back. (I’ve spent a bit of time of at The Quays and the like in Galway, Ireland.)
Thanks for the recommendation it's some good craic as the fiancé and her family are all KO'd at the Airbnb. Wish it was as social as a brewery but it's a Sunday so can't expect any better
👍 You can walk to a lot of good bars and restaurants from there. 4 Hands Brewery is a mile from there on 8th street.Bluewood and Square One are also close to there. Ask the staff.
Tried to go to Bluewood (forgot my mask figuring I wouldn't need it b/c Missouri), 4 hands is right by my Airbnb, probably hit that tomorrow as I want to stay here for the music. Snagging dinner at Broadway oyster bar
Totally agree about SafeHouse. It was a bit corny when I was there more than a decade ago. I get that its a "legendary" Milwaukee spot, but its far from hip or cool for someone in their early 20s.If you're talking rooftops, the Journeyman's roof is as good as it gets in Milwaukee IMO. Great space, good views, great atmosphere. And there is tons of good restaurants nearby.
Has anyone been to Copenhagen? May be part of a trip next June.Is it really as outrageously expensive as people say? For context, we were in Switzerland in 2019. Yes it was pricey. But food and beverage, while expensive, wasn’t staggering. If it weren’t for the train/cable cars, it wasn’t a nightmare of costs.Looking at staying at the AC hotel by their convention center. Quick 12 minute trip into city center on the metro. Good/bad choice? Can stay there on points. Any other pointers?
We are taking a family trip to the Croatian Islands, but due to COVID have not been through international security lines for some time now, and not sure if with additional protocols it might take longer to get through. Should I prep for similar times to get through or are there additional protocols that might take longer than pre-COVID?
Departing the US? Depending on where you're departing from and what airline, the domestic and international security are one and the same, aka any major US carrier from major US airports.
My wife just flew internationally. Despite being vaccinated, you have to show a negative COVID test coming back. Delta/KLM wouldn't let her on the plane in Warsaw without it and they were following US state department rules. It cost her $100 for the test. Some friends of ours left for Poland last week and it will cost them $400 in testing to fly home. She said at Schipol Airport you would not know there was a pandemic and interestingly everywhere got very lazy stamping passports.
Leaving ORD and it is at 6 pm taking United (Lufthansa). Based on average wait times when looking at the TSA website does not seem like it would be too bad, but wanted to see if anybody had any experience first hand.
Well is it United or Lufthansa? Not trying to be difficult but it is important. Cause if you're out of Terminal 1 on United, it would be the same as flying to Orlando (with maybe a bit more of an issue with checking bags). Security lines are the same. If you have pre-check, you'd buzz right through.If its Lufthansa, out of Terminal 5, then it may be longer cause they don't have Pre-Check there to my knowledge. At least they don't in the international terminal at Newark. All my international flights at ORD are on United out of T1 so I dont know for sure.Depending on how much time you have before you leave, I'd highly recommend Global Entry if you don't already have it. Ive heard NIGHTMARE stories about the delays on people coming back into the US. It was the best travel related perk I ever spent on (besides pre-check obviously)
