Participating restaurants

Miss Katie’s Diner owner Peter Picciurro said, in a statement, that Near West Side Partners has always supported his restaurant and that “anything we can do together as a neighborhood is wonderful.” The neighborhood mainstay opened in 1985.

According to a press release, “Taste of the Near West Side” is returning to Rev-Up MKE this year, and will feature local cuisine and live entertainment “that reflects the heart of the neighborhood.”
