It has restaurants, bars and breweries that overlook the Milwaukee River, art along the way, and of course, the Bronze Fonz.

That's right, the Milwaukee RiverWalk. Locals know how special it is — and now the nation does too.

It's been nominated for best riverwalk by USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards.

How do the awards work? Travel experts pick the top 20 nominees in contests covering food, lodging, destinations, travel gear, things to do and more. Then the public makes the final decision by voting online.

As of Sunday evening, Brew City's RiverWalk was in fourth place behind Detroit International RiverWalk, Cincinnati's Smale Riverfront Park and Louisville's Waterfront Park.

If you want to check out the RiverWalk yourself, it runs alongside the Milwaukee River, from about N. Humboldt Ave. to where it meets Lake Michigan in the Third Ward.

People can vote for their favorite riverwalk (cough cough, Milwaukee's) once per day until 11 a.m. CT April 11. Voters must be at least 18 years old, according to the contest rules. The top 10 riverwalks will be announced on April 22.
