Let's go shoppping!

Milwaukee is Wisconsin's biggest city, so it's only fitting that we have HUGE shopping malls.  Let me highlight two of my favorite...

Bayshore Town Center 

Bayshore is located  approximately five miles north of Sandburg.  Bayshore is a large outdoor shopping venue boasting many unique restaurants and stoes.  They have everything from Kohl's, to Board Game Barrister, to bebe.  Bayshore also hosts many different events in the square, like tango lessons, Chalk Art Festival, and others throughout the year.  Bayshore is also a great place to grab an awesome dinner.  Some of my favorite restaurants there are The Cheesecake Factory, BD's Mongolian Grill, and California Pizza Kitchen.  Take the Green line to explore all that Greendale, a Milwaukee suburb has to offer! Not to mention, there is a ton of other businesses surrounding the mall.

Mayfair

Right up North Avenue is Mayfair Mall.  Mayfair Mall is home to my favorite stores. 
If you want to have a large group of friends go out for family style  dining, I suggest Maggiano's.  Maggiano's serves large, have-to-share-it, portions of your favorite Italian dish.  You are sure to have left overs for quite a while.  Another favorite of mine at Mayfair is the AMC movie theater.  It even has an IMAX RealD 3D theater!  Not to mention, on Thursdays you can get a special student discount when you present your student ID.  Mayfair is also home to many fun stores like Build-a-Bear Workshop, Godiva, and Teavana.  Mayfair is a sure place to have a good time.  Just hop on the 21.

There is so much more than I've mentioned.  I guess you will just have to explore yourself.  ;)
