Springtime Eastown Exploration

A couple weekends ago, my girl Emily ventured from the lake shore to explore Grand Rapids for the day. As I've said time and time again, I LOVE exploring Grand Rapids. So much newness and so little time! The places we visited weren't new to Grand Rapids, but new both of us (for the most part).

We started off with mimosas at my house to plan our agenda for the day and quickly decided that food was an immediate need. Since Emily had never been to Donkey, it was decided within seconds we would start our adventure there, and then walk to surrounding shops and bars. Once we were satisfied by margaritas & tostadas, we got our cardio in by SHOPPING! We visited Rock Paper Scissors thrift store, Peninsula Trading and the Mitten State (amount others).

By that point, we were definitely in the mood to fill our beer quota for the day, so Harmony (mmmm Grapefruit Moon!) was a must! While in the area, we noticed a few more shops and bars we had never been to, so we checked those out as well. Why not, right?! This was a Carpe Diem kinda day!!

All in all, I marked six places off my “explore Grand Rapids” bucket list (my favorite being Eastown Sports Bar & Grill!). I love days like this and can’t wait to share some of my finds with Max (who was off gallivanting up north at the time… he’s such a boy…). I’m already planning a future exploration attack on the city.

Next up: Comstock Park? (TBD)

{after a day like this, what else sounds like more fun than DANCING! unfortunately there was a private party being held in Club Eve of the BOB but oh well... we made the most out of our day. It was pretty epic...}
