Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee may best be known for its breweries and gritty industry, but it’s also a city that’s remaking itself to capitalize on its scenic waterways. Lake Michigan borders the city to the east, while the RiverWalk district’s promenades and restaurants bustle during the summer. Milwaukeeans are often viewed as being the descendants of German immigrants, but African-Americans make up an equal portion of the city’s inhabitants. Milwaukee loves a party, from its Summerfest music festival to German Fest, Irish Fest, Armenian Fest, Greek Fest, et al. The Wisconsin State Fair takes place in nearby West Allis, and more than 350,000 cream puffs are sold during this Dairyland celebration. Don’t miss venerable Milwaukee institutions on Old World Third Street, like Mader’s Restaurant and Usinger’s sausage. Sanford Restaurant, founded by chef Sanford D’Amato, is considered to be one of the best in the Midwest. Local microbreweries and brew pubs satisfy contemporary taste sensibilities while connecting the city to its brewing past.

Banana Coconut Loaf

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by naples34102

This is just delightful! I didn't change a thing, only using pecans instead of walnuts, and I'm so glad I made the recipe as is, ignoring other suggestions and substitutions by other reviewers. This is just delicious, prettily specked with the red cherries and brown nuts and flecked with the coconut. So different from the same ol' banana bread and a nice change. It's moist and flavorful, with a real comfort food quality about it. Set your timer at less than the full hour--my loaf was done at 50 minutes. You can always add more time, but you can't undo it!
