I'm excited for your birthday celebration!

and thanks, everyone, for the hair tips. you will now find me in the "what should I do with my hair" thread....

Yay! I just made a facebook event thing.

Perfect, we just went and stocked up this morning. We had breakfast at Comet Cafe since we were close... YUM!

My coworkers ordered a cake for me from Beans and Barley this week. I didn't realize they did that, but it was chocolate cherry loaded with frosting... delicious!!

that's so nice! my favorite vegan cake of theirs is the chocolate peanut butter, but they also do a red velvet and a red raspberry. YUM.

Where's the best place to go for sushi? I haven't had it forever and I have no idea where to go...

i really like izumi, but i haven't been there in ages. the garden maki is amazing.

I like Wasabi, it's kind of out a bit and a little pricey, but the veggie roll has avocado slices on top like they would do with fish and it is really beautiful.

Thanks for the sushi recommendations. I have another request... My mom, sister and I are going to Cirque du Soliel (sp??) at the Bradley Center this weekend and are planning to have dinner before. I haven't really spent much time downtown, so could someone suggest a few places to check out? Thanks again!!

if you like ethiopian, alem is delicious and the closest thing to downtown that is super vegan-friendly. otherwise there is tons of stuff on the east side, which is close enough in my book, heh.

A co-worker suggested Roots, so I think we'll try that. I hadn't heard of it, but they do have a small vegan menu online.

I might be in Cudahy soon, and I have no idea what's nearby as far as eats go. Any help is massively appreciated!

nearby as in you can easily make it to (say) the south side of milwaukee? or nearby as in Actual Cudahy vegan food? :D

Does anybody know anything about Milwaukee Downtown Dining Week? We're thinking about it..

Bluedawg, thanks for replying, sorry I haven't been around!

Actual Cudahy. But venturing into Milwaukee for a meal, for sure.

I live in Cudahy, and I don't think I've ever eaten here since becoming vegan almost 5 years ago! haha. I pretty much only live here, but do everything else in Milwaukee.

Umm...disappointment. Roots was bought/sold and it was supposed to still be awesome. Just looked at the new menu under the new name (Wolf-Peach) and it does not look nearly so vegan friendly.

omg you guys! I am so excited now! I'm going to be in Milwaukee for a conference in the spring and I was worried there wouldn't be any food! hoorayyyyy. will be watching this thread closelyyy

there's tons of food! where is your conference?

boober! we should have a PPK meet up when you're here to help show you all our tasty foodz!

I was in Milwaukee for a conference a couple months ago. I found plenty of good eats, but it helps to have a car. I stayed at the Hilton and was able to get a pizza place to deliver pizza w/teese and vegan sausage straight to the hotel (had to go down to the lobby)... I'm pretty sure it was Transfer Pizza.

I also loooooved Palomino, especially the sweet potato tots and seitan and tofu wings. The deep fried riblets w/dipping sauce from Comet Cafe were heavenly, but I didn't like the meatloaf sandwich I got there as much.

My experience in Milwaukee (and my brief stints in Columbus and Cinci this past summer) helped confirm for me that Indianapolis is the least vegan-friendly major city in the Midwest (and possibly in the US). Milwaukee people, I'm jealous of your food.

yes!

yess! I think it's at a university, it's the Southern Graphics Council printmaking conference.

oooh, perfect, that's at MIAD! you will definitely eat well, and we should for sure plan a group adventure.

yay! I'll be there with a group of other students but i'm sure i'll be able to break away!
