CHARMED BY WOODEN HISTORY

If ever in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the night, stay at the Plaza Hotel and Cafe. Do not be mistaken, it is not connected to The Plaza though its style is reminiscent with an old world vibe.

No, the Plaza Hotel and Cafe is of it's entity and that is why I give it one of my highest recommendations.

It is located on Yankee Hill just a few blocks from Lake Michigan.

The rooms are large and reasonably priced containing an efficiency kitchen, dining room table, and a large flat screen television placed directly in front of a queen bed. It truly is a home away from home.

There is something wonderfully wooden and sound about this edifice. It smells of history and the passing of time. The spiral staircases, creaky doors, and the odd single bathrooms in the lobby make one feel it's allure in every sense.

Attached to the hotel is the Cafe at the Plaza. I have been there twice and have found myself devouring Sherried Black Truffle Eggs and relishing the Smoked Trout Nicoise Salad.

Entrees are moderately priced under $10.

They serve coffee and soda as well full bar including tasty Bloody Marys, Screwdrivers and Mimosas.

If you were concerned about parking for the Hotel or Cafe, let that thought disappear from your brain. Parking is next door in an open lot, free of charge.

So hop a ride to a little place called charm and relaxation. It is found off I-794, exit 1E in Milwaukee.
