I live in Grand Rapids and these are my favorite spots. I’ve live in GR for almost a decade so safe to say I’m pretty qualified and would love to share my favorite places
Map
Food is so good! Has a good diverse menu, the waiters and service is good, and has a great artistic feel in the restaurant.
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse
the pizza is SO good, and the service is amazing!
Pietro's Italian Restaurant
Menu is good, so pretty inside and outside, and pretty small so not more than 10 people, and great service.
Nonna's: The Trattoria
I love going to Meijer Garden! There are so many different events that go on and it’s so beautiful. It’s a must if you’re in GR for the first time!
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
I love this art museum, it’s downtown, easy to book and so much to look at, especially if you love art!
Grand Rapids Art Museum
The downtown market is the perfect place to grab brunch or lunch with friends, it’s so pretty and all the food stands are so good and diverse! It’s a little pricey but it’s so worth it.
Grand Rapids Downtown Market
I love this restaurant because of the amazing food and high quality environment (if that makes sense). It’s so cute and classy at the same time.
Butcher's Union
I love this park, so many events happen and a great place to socialize!
Facilities • Millennium Park
I love this restaurant the vibes are so good. The food is also so GOOD!
Hancock
The pizza here is so good! It’s what I imagine New York pizza hype would equate to for Michigan. The pizzas always taste fresh and I just absolutely love them, and they have so many options as well!
Joe & Reno's Pizzeria
This place is a great place for socializing and a chill night out. With mini golf and a bar, it’s a great place to hangout with friends and chill. My cousins enjoy it there and love the vibes!
Big Mini Putt Club
This is MY favorite movie theater in Grand Rapids. I love how the chairs are comfy big couches! The snacks are a bit overpriced but it’s super easy to sneak in your own!
