Things To Do
Nantucket Baking Company - Lyon St
Lyon Street Café + Nantucket Baking Co. + Martha’s Vineyard – Coffee, pastries, and a charming market with wine and snacks.
Brown Butter Crêperie & Cafe
I'm assuming you would enjoy eating a crepe inside a windmill.
Butcher's Union
If you want incredible food in a beautiful setting, this is it. They don't take reservations, but you can "get in line" on their website.
Amway Grand Plaza Hotel
Have a wander around this downtown all-in-one spot for dinner and drinks. Choose from several restaurants inside the historic hotel, including The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck or MDRD for city views. Afterward, hop between bars like the cozy Lumber Baron, rooftop speakeasy IDC, vintage bowling lounge Woodrows DuckPin, or the wine bar tucked just off the lobby.
Lake Michigan
Want to sneak in a mini adventure? Head west on Saturday and hit the lakeshore! Holland, Saugatuck, and Grand Haven are all an easy drive and super cute in the fall—think scenic walks, cozy cafés, lighthouse views, and small-town charm. Pack a sweater, grab a cider, and pretend you’re in a fall rom-com.
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
It’s part botanical garden, part art museum. Wander through tropical conservatories, spot larger-than-life sculptures (yes, that is a giant horse), and enjoy peaceful walking paths that somehow make you feel both fancy and relaxed. Great for nature lovers, art fans, or anyone just looking to vibe among flowers and fountains. There's also a children's garden!
Big Mini Putt Club
A fun little indoor mini golf course right downtown—complete with a bar. Great for killing time between events or rounding up a group for something a little different.
