A weekly West Michigan staple! Beloved pinwheels, craft beer, cocktails, and more. Check out the Holland or Grand Rapids location. Andrew loves it so much that he worked at the Holland location over the summer!
The heart and soul of Holland! Filled with many restaurants, shopping stores, and a social district. Just a couple of blocks away from Hope College, where Anna and Andrew met!
See the iconic big red and walk the pier at Holland State Park! Lots of memories of beach volleyball, swimming, reading a good book, and watching the sunset. Lady MI is no joke!
Perfect for going on walks and located next to the charming East Grand Rapids downtown. Fun fact: Anna and her roommate swam in Reed's Lake for their triathlon!
An iconic beach front that tends to be less busy in than the state park. Perfect for sunsets and strolls along the shore.
The BEST coffee, cocktails, and waffles (savory and sweet) that will knock your socks off! We went here for Andrew's 21st birthday! Anna recommends the white russian!
The first mammoth distillery we visited was in Bellaire, MI, for Andrew's formal! Try the whiskey tango foxtrot or the manhattan.
Hearty southern food right along the water! Andrew and Anna love how warm and cozy this restaurant is. The fried chicken is a MUST! Get a reservation in advance or explore the idyllic downtown Saugatuck while waiting for your table. The last time we ate here was after taking our engagement photos.
Anna's go to coffee shop in Holland! With plants cascading from the ceiling and open windows, it's the perfect summer stop. She highly recommends the Vietnamese or Brazen latte.
"The best sushi I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of sushi." - Anna. Truly, the place she dreams about when living away from Holland. It's affordable, filling, and take-out orders are ready in twenty minutes!
We went here for Anna's 24th birthday! Lots of walking trails, kayaks/paddle boards available to rent, and fishing docks (the closest we've come to catching a fish)
An upscale rooftop bar offering seasonally made-from-scratch sharables and small bites, all while enjoying scenic views of downtown Grand Rapids
Great steak and whiskey located in a lively part of Grand Rapids. We highly recommend getting a reservation due to the popularity! Andrew, along with Anna's parents, once shared an important meal there (we bet you can guess what it was)!
You will generally find us here eating sushi from Mizu and playing cribbage! 21+ after 7pm
