We talk with Meridith Jumisko from Visit Kenosha about Kenosha’s Restaurant Week, which is underway through Sunday, March 1st, and discuss some of the 80+ restaurants along with some of the museums and more across Kenosha you can enjoy when visiting, all tucked into Wisconsin’s SE corner.
Kenosha is Wisconsin’s 4th largest city, right in the state’s SE corner smack dab between Milwaukee and Chicago. This dynamic city has flavors of both Wisconsin and Illinois, with Lake Michigan fun, a dynamic downtown, and unexpected gems to boot. Museums showcase Kenosha’s history from Wooly Mammoths to dinosaurs as well as the making of cars, mattresses, underwear, tools, and more.
It’s still a manufacturing powerhouse and the area plays as hard as it works. It features the Nation’s Oldest Velodrome – a mecca for bike racing – as well as natural wonders from Lake Michigan beaches to inland parks with prairies, springs, and forest to explore. Craft breweries, college and semi-pro sports, classic delis, food trucks and festivals around food, cars, marathons and more offer options a’plenty. A vibrant and diversifying restaurant scene means Kenosha has palate-pleasing options from across the world, whether you want a fusion of foods from distant continents or a good old fashioned amazing cheeseburger and a shake from a classic drive-in. This isn’t the only big food event in Kenosha either – among other thing Taste of Wisconsin the final weekend of July should not be missed!
Starting with Kenosha Restaurant Week (which runs February 21st through March 1st this year with over 80 establishments participating!) and then getting into more on the city and area, we talk with Meridith Jumisko from Visit Kenosha to cover it all. Road trips on I-41/94, U.S. 45, Highway 32, 50, 83, 142, 158, 165 and many county, rustic, and back roads offer plenty of cool places to visit!
