Milwaukee's an entertainment mecca. For our size, we support an enormous amount of restaurants, sports, performing arts and, of course, bars.
Trulia recently ranked cities based on density of eating and drinking destinations.
And today on theatlanticcities.com Richard Florida examines "The Geography of Bars and Restaurants."
Milwaukee just misses out on the top spot for bars with 8.5 bars per 10,000 households. New Orleans takes the cake with 8.6.
Entertainment matters and it's a driving force for our economy. So, cheers Milwaukee. Drink safely and let's keep our local dining and drinking scenes vibrant.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
