Daniel Goldin, owner of Boswell Book Co., Milwaukee, Wis., shared his "Best of Milwaukee" picks with Milwaukee magazine, noting: "Many bookstores feature signage that says, 'Eat, sleep, read,' and that pretty much defines me--if you just add 'walk,' as that's the other thing I do with my free time. On my days off, if the weather is right, there is nothing that pleases me so much as a long walk, and if I can read while I am walking, so much the better. (For those who are concerned, I do stop reading when I cross streets.) This used to be considered an oddity, but now it's just an analog version of walking while scrolling your phone.
"I could mention a few of my favorite places to walk, but there are a number of books at Boswell that have covered this. Instead, I would like to mention some of my favorite things to eat in the Milwaukee area, the treats that keep me going. Sadly, almost 40 years of eating in Milwaukee has left me nostalgic for things that are gone, such as the Heineman's lush torte cake, the inch-high chocolate cookie from Oakland Café, and the turkey club sandwich from Oriental Drugs. Fortunately, though, I have found other foods to fill the snack-filled hole in my heart."
