Put Chicago over Soho, brehs
Is downtown Chicago even more interesting than Milwaukee?
I'm from Milwaukee, but spend a decent amount of time in Chicago and NYC (and other major cities here and abroad.) I prefer the latter over the former, but do enjoy kicking it in Chicago since it's a quick jaunt to land in a city of its stature. I wouldn't necessarily say it's the "best" downtown in the States, but it's a dope city with just about everything within reach.
In some respects, Milwaukee is a baby Chicago. But in terms of which downtown is more "interesting", it's not even close between the two. Even the proudest Milwaukeean can't front. While I don't necessarily focus on downtown Chicago when I'm there, I can easily find world-class food and beverage or museums in walking distance to wherever I stay. We simply don't have anything on that scale here by any objective measure. We have "good" things that are respectable on a regional level, but it's limited and pales in comparison to the Chi.
I could pick a little nit with
@Rice N Beans description, but he's generally correct about Milwaukee.
