Amy recommends checking out The Pink Squirrel for a taste of Wisconsin supper club culture and retro fun.
How about getting a cocktail at a bar that evokes the feeling of walking into a Frank Lloyd Wright house? Amy says fans of architecture and sophisticated drinks should make plans to stop by Prairie School.

If you're a fan of charcuterie & craft sandwiches (who isn't?) ... Amy says make some time to check out Tempesta Market.
How about some caviar? Looking for something a little different, stop by Heritage Caviar Restaurant & Bar

And Amy says don't be intimidated if you've never had caviar before, the servers will help with any questions.
