Pick up something stylish in the Main Terminal by stopping by Brooks Brothers, or enjoy the iconic leather merchandise from House of Harley-Davidson.

Take advantage of where you are by skipping the fast food and eating local, giving yourself a pick-me-up from Valentine Coffee Roasters in the Main Terminal and topping it off with a classic Milwaukee burger from Northpoint next-door. If you find yourself craving a homestyle dinner in Concourse C, sit down at French Meadow Bakery & Cafe for soups, salads, and a slew of vegetarian options. Another great place to try a slice of love is Pizzeria Piccola, a local Italian eatery famous for its wood-burned pies. And don’t forget to try a famous Wisconsin sausage at Usinger’s (Concourse D) before you leave.
