The Milwaukee Public Market is similar to Columbus's North Market as an upscale foodie destination, with unique food shops and great places to eat.  The Milwaukee Public Market is a large newer building with spacious aisles and lots of places to sit.  Cincinnati's Findlay Market in comparison is narrower, a bit grittier, and a lot older, but has much more of a working market feel. 

The eating establishments make the Milwaukee Public Market a destination for both the lunch and dinner crowd, staying open on weekdays until 8pm.
