St. Paul's Fish Market is overrated in my opinion. It isn't bad but I've had better. I think everyone goes there because the price for seafood is cheaper than other restaurants in the area. Please note that sometimes they will close the public sitting area for events. Easy to get to by public transportation. Overall, it is a great place to eat!

Every time I come here I leave with something new to spice up my life. If you ever need help with anything. Everyone is super helpful and knowledgeable! If you're looking for a fun and exciting new market place to go. Then, you have to stop by. Trust me, you won't regret it! Fried Cheese Curds- These cheese curds are crispy and crunchy on the outside and squeaky and chewy on the inside! They are a perfectly well balanced one of a kind Wisconsin treat.

I lived just outside Milwaukee in the days of JD stalking his victims at what was Grand Avenue. I…read moredidn't come down to the shops there regularly, but I was familiar enough with things that the "new" design of the Avenue is surprising and welcome. I ended up at the Hall one day recently because a friend had a coupon for a free sandwich from one of the vendors. I wasn't in the mood for much, so I wandered and took in the large variety of food and drink on offer. (If you can't find something here to satisfy yourself, you're not trying hard enough.) The space itself was large, open, and very noisy. Restrooms were clean. I'll be back some day when I can bring a beer drinker so we can experience City Fountain. I've been to other self-serve tap bars, and they're quite fun!!

Plenty of vendors selling a variety of goods. Spices, clothing, crafts, sundries, and lots and lots of food. Live entertainment on stages in front of the local bars along the street.

Parking along the roadside, or closer parking on residential lawns for a minimal fee.

Yes, that's the name. The whole thing. Blame city ordinances lol…read more So far it's very small with just a handful of vendors. The tables are set up along the sidewalks right now, but I wonder if it will spill over into the green space around the gazebo if more vendors start taking part in the market. Today I just saw seven and they all had different offerings. The few I dealt with were cash only. Others may have card readers. I didn't ask because I didn't need anything from them. There is parking available on Franklin street, but if the spaces are full it looks like parking is available along Swiss Street. Alternatively, if it ever gains in popularity, there is definitely parking across from Wegner's Inn on St. Martins. I am a big fan of the change. The fair used to be held on the first Monday of every summer month from 6am through noon. I use the term fair loosely because it was just a few people spread out so far from each other. Definitely not what it was 15 years ago. I understand the tradition of a morning farmers market/fair, but it was so inconvenient. Now, since it is every Monday and goes until 7, I can still take part if I have to work late. It's like someone actually listened to my complaining :) There were Port-o-Johns and a wash station set up. I thought that was a nice touch in case anyone were to need a restroom. Please stop in and take advantage of this new market if you are in the area. I want it to succeed and not be reduced to just the Labor Day weekend flea-market style fair. Support your local growers and entrepreneurs!

We picked the evening to go hoping to see the beautiful yellow lights (and I recommend you to go in the evening too - same food same drinks same shops but the view is more beautiful). The ornaments and lights indeed made it festive, but there were surprisingly not many tents and people. And there was no music. The market felt kind of tiny, empty and quiet on the huge, open Fiserv Forum Plaza ground. Maybe as the holiday season approaches, the vibe will get better. Here are the things that we did and enjoyed: 1. Got the warm, creamy, rich Belgian hot chocolate in the super cute Milwaukee souvenir mug. It's $11 with the mug which is pricey for such a small size of drink. But I liked the mug a lot and thought sharing a mug of hot chocolate with someone you love on a cold winter evening is kind of sweet. 2. Different handmade crafts from Germany, blankets from Peru, outwear, tea, coffee cakes, chocolates, pies, candies, cookies, cream cheese, soap... We walked around the outdoor area to check out all the vendors. It took us less than 30 mins but it was fun. 3. Checked out the indoor Christmas décor and gift shop before getting food. The staff were super nice. 4. Got the Raclette cheese sandwiches! Watching the melty raclette got scraped into the bread was delightful. With $1 extra, you could add a brat to the sandwich with a similar amount of cheese (we thought, as I got one with just raclette and hubby got one with a brat). * My suggestions are: 1) eat the sandwich as soon as possible when it is still warm and moist. Don't spend too much time looking for seats or taking photos lol. 2) Your hands may smell stinky later if you touch the cheese, which is highly likely to happen as there is so much cheese! 5. Found the warming house and sat down and enjoyed some simple, traditional live Christmas music performed by a band.

Certainly there has been alot of press about this venture that has taken a very long time to come to be. We were very impressed by the major renovation of this building - it is a very clean design as are many of the vendor booths. It is a nice space overall. Right now only about 50% of the booths are occupied. They need to fill the rest of the spots with strong businesses and attract crowds that will support every vendor and make this a success. This cannot afford to be a place heavy on pop-ups or newbies that needs to be funded by the city. We did sample an empanada at one vendor and will review that separately. At this point not sure how often we would visit... Wishing them good luck!
