We were staying very close to Traverse City Michigan when we were up north a year ago, bunking in a sweet little lakeside cottage in Glen Arbor, but we never made it into the big city, although I wanted to. Just ran out of time – too much to do in the small lakeside towns in the area. But now comes the NYTimes Travel section with some recommendations for TC which I will duly note here for our next trip there – which I hope will be soon!
– Artisandesign network, new gallery with local artists’ and designers’ work, especially furniture and “elegant dining chairs” by Woodbine.
– The Cooks’ House, a farm to table restaurant now in new larger location.
– Right Brain Brewery, 16 tap brew pub with all local ales. Must try the Black Eye P.A.
– Mana, “soul food” including the Divine Swine pulled pork sandwich.
– State Theater, site of TC Film Festival started by local resident and filmmaker Michael Moore
