This week is the 6th annual Milwaukee Black Restaurant week, and 2021 is the curbside edition 2.0 where you can sample soul food, wings, BBQ, pizza and more from over 20 different restaurants citywide.

Milwaukee is home to many amazing black-owned restaurants that reach all parts of the city, and we want to shout out event sponsor BlankSpace MKE for their work to produce this event each year and highlight these establishments.

Local restaurants have been hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic during the last year, and we are encouraging residents to take this opportunity to sample new, delicious foods while also supporting local businesses. Order curbside pickup, to-go, delivery or dine safely in-person at participating restaurants.

You won’t want to miss this celebration of culture, entrepreneurship and good eats! Visit https://blankspacemke.weebly.com for more information and a full list of participating locations. Most importantly, don’t forget to frequent all of Milwaukee’s black-owned restaurants year-round.
