I remember going to Potters for donuts every Sunday growing up. Still one of my go-tos when I'm craving something sweet
Potters Bakery
Delicious food and a gorgeous view of the bay. A nice fishing cabin feel inside
Harrington's By The Bay
Experiences
Beautiful art gallery that showcases the beauty of Northern Michigan and the college campus.
Dennos Museum Center
The coin slot is an arcade, bar, and multiple food stops all in one! Plenty of food and drink options. This place is full of classic arcade games and pinball machines! Don't forget to check out the record store, Eugenes, in the basement!
The Coin Slot
A short hike through the woods by the state hospital leads you to this iconic hangout site!
The Hippie Tree in Traverse City
The old state hospital is now home to many shops and restaurants. I highly recommend exploring the building!
The Village at Grand Traverse Commons
Walking or biking on the TART trail is a favorite summer/fall/spring activity
TART - Traverse City
Shops
Amazing 2 story bookstore with a little bit of everything. The café is pretty great too!
Horizon Books
My all time favorite resale shop in Traverse City. Vendors put so much work into curating beautiful, unique booths. There are locations on both Front and Fourteenth Street!
Penny Lane
All of the cherry goodies you could ever need! This place is worth the hype, and there are plenty of samples to test what you like. I love the cherry pepper jelly and the chocolate cherries!

If you need to grocery shop and you're a lover of organic foods and items, I highly recommend Oryana. They also have some pretty amazing hot foods and drinks.
