If Harley had it her way, the entire wedding weekend would be catered by Cherry Republic. Located right in downtown, this store is a cherry-lover’s dream (and a budgeter’s nightmare). Think cherry salsa, cherry wine, cherry popcorn, cherry soap… you get the idea. Between the generous samples and the adorable merch, it’s the kind of place you “just pop into” and leave with full intentions of baking a cherry pie.
If you know Syd, you know how much she despises walking. That’s why her Traverse City recommendation is Riding Electric, the go-to spot for electric bike rentals. It’s the perfect way to explore the TART Trail, a scenic path that winds along the bay with stops at wineries, breweries, and local gems. Pro tip: Use the battery wisely… or prepare for a very humbling ride home.
As expected, Ciara's pick involves a gorgeous cocktail, tasty apps, and the perfect ambiance to play a few rounds of Monopoly Deal. Meet The Parlor TC! Be sure to order the espresso martini and say yes when they offer to grate parmesan cheese on top right at the table. It's like Olive Garden but way way better!
Jack's pick for a late-night stop. Kilkenny's has live music, stays open late, and serves drinks - so it checks all his boxes. He's call it an Irish-themed bar, not a proper pub, so he wouldn't recommend the Guinness. A great spot to close out the night - or lose track of time entirely.
Peace and love is great, but have you tried adding donuts? Kevin loves a sweet treat after a hard day’s work at the brewery—and Peace, Love and Little Donuts delivers. These mini donuts are warm, fresh, and you can eat at least 14 of them for it to technically count as one regular donut.
