I have a soft spot in my heart for the Midwest. I was born and raised in Chicago, but have spent summers on the shores of the Great Lakes and many an evening in various Wisconsin dive bars.
This is where I feel most comfortable, and where I keep returning to when I want a slice of nostalgia…or a wheel of cheese.
If you’ve never had cheese curds in Wisconsin, you’ll need to start there as you think about where to go while you’re here. Explore the best of the region with my Midwest travel guides.
