If you're spending the day downtown, it's worth a stop
Wedged between downtown and the Third Ward, the Milwaukee Public Market is great place to stop while wandering the boutiques and stores in the area. It's much smaller than the Seattle's Pike Place Market and is mostly a collection of small food vendors instead of the fashionably gritty vibe of it's west coast model. I'd recommend the $18.95 lobster roll at the St. Paul Fish Market that can be split in two you're not super hungry. It's excellent with heaps of lobster meat and very little mayo served on a toasted garlicky roll. There are other places that offer freshly made sandwich warps, a wine bar, an excellent meat market and other local-non chain food spots. You can also get unique Wisconsin/Milwaukee gifts and apparel. Of course, there is a cheese shop with a wide selection. It's also a great place to park in the Third Ward and you get about a free hour of parking if you validate your ticket with a market business.

Great Stop for a Meal or a Snack
If you are walking around downtown Milwaukee, the Public Market is a can't miss stop on your tour! From bakeries to Mediterranean to a BBQ spot and a fish market, you will not walk away hungry. The pack a lot into a very small space so it will not take very long to find what might satisfy a craving. Great for a snack or a meal. Seating upstairs is a little limited, so if you go at meal time, it might be a good idea to have a backup plan for a place to sit and eat.
