I grew up on the South Side of Milwaukee, in a working-class neighborhood that was heavily influenced by a variety of European and Latino cultural traditions. Over the years, this melting pot neighborhood has welcomed and embraced people from many other cultures from around the world, including Asian and Middle Eastern. Grocery stores, bakeries, gift shops, and restaurants abound, and your introduction to another culture starts right outside your door!
For the purpose of this post, I’d like to give a shout-out to the cuisine of Puerto Rico (which is frequently overshadowed by the equally delicious cuisine of Mexico).

If you’re looking for ingredients, there are family-owned groceries and bakeries, as well as restaurants that serve some of the items on this list (as well as other items that are worth discovering).
However, if you’re looking for a wide variety of goods from around the world, I would like to suggest that you check out the Cermak store on 43rd Street (aka Miller Parkway). They have some of the best produce in the city, aisle upon aisle of world groceries, a selection of bakery and pastries that is a thing of beauty, as well as a deli and hot case that rivals some of the best.
Get out and explore!
