SOOOOO GOOD! It's always busy, so I highly recommend having a reservation no matter the time of day. It's better to have a reservation and not need it than not have one and need one. They have multiple locations, so make sure to pick the best one for...
HopCat
Right next to Wax Poetic, they have really good food and wood fire pizzas. Again, I recommend having a reservation but I believe it's less busy than HopCat.
Terra GR
One of the best sushi places. It's a bit more pricy, but it's really good.

If you're planning a date downtown GR, highly recommend parking at Studio Park(ing). If you buy a movie ticket, you can get your ticket validated for the first 4 hours then $3.00/ ½ hour.
Celebration Cinema Studio Park
You can make your own “aroma” and can add it to lotion, body spray, body scrub, etc. You can look on their website for pricing and what you can put the scent in. You can walk in but it is a first-come, first-serve. To prevent not being able to go, ma...

Such a fun place for families and dates. They have all types of animals and during spring and summer they have chinese type lanterns all throughout the zoo to look at. They also have seasonal events like Halloween trick or treat for families (gear to...
John Ball Zoo
There's not a specific location so I recommend downloading the app and see where you can ride lime scooters. But super fun and you can group share and buy a minute pass. We rode the lime scooters from Grand Rapids Public Museum to Heritage Hill to lo...
