Uptown is a great neighborhood for popping in and out of boutiques and coffee shops. Wealthy Street and Cherry Street are great places to start. If you need more of a guide, follow the link to Uptown Website.
Right across the street from Black Dog Books and Records, it is one of our favorites.
An excellent shop for used books, records, and CDs.
Good for indoor and outdoor fun, featuring sculptures from world-renowned artists, indoor greenhouses, and a Japanese garden to explore. Great for kids of all ages!
A great spot for a leisurely stroll, run, or bike ride!
Real Food Cafe is a Grand Rapids classic for breakfast! There are multiple locations throughout the Grand Rapids area, but the one on Eastern is the one I (Abby) grew up going to. Fair warning, they are a cash only establishment!
Awesome antique mall. If you're like us you could spend 4 hours in here.
A little bit out of the city but another great shop that combines antique and new home decor.
