Greetings Milwaukee Foodies!

Brooklyn Foodies Nicole A. Taylor & Melissa Danielle are making their way to your city for the 4^th Annual Growing Food & Justice for All Gathering and they’d love to meet you!

Nicole & Melissa have teamed up with the folks over at Hotel Metro to host a happy hour just for Milwaukee's Good Food community.

Nicole & Melissa are participating in the NY Locavore Challenge back home, and thought this would be a great opportunity to keep up with the challenge during Milwaukee's own Eat Local Challenge.

Their goal, while in town for the week, is to support the local food community by eating at farm-to-table restaurants and purchasing from local food brands and retail shops.

Chef Justin Johnson will stop by to talk about Hotel Metro Bar & Cafe's locally minded menu, and we'll also hear about the hotel's sustainability practices that earned them Milwaukee's first Certified Green Hotel designation.

You'll also have the chance to score some of the best of Brooklyn's homegrown goods when you enter our free raffle giveaway.

Join us!

RSVP here, and be sure to check in on Foursquare and Twitter via #metrobarcafe! Cash bar. Giveaways curated by With Love, from Brooklyn.
