We had an amazing time visiting shops, dining, shopping, wineries, theater, comedy club, gambling and walking the beach.

Boutique stores to find that one-in-a-million top or skirt! The Michigan-themed shops were lots of fun with art, skin care, clothing and cherry wine!

This is a nice downtown area to walk and fill up some time. Seems like the biggest attraction there is in the city besides a boating excursion.
While we were there the street wasn’t shutdown, people could drive on the street.

Park your car somewhere and walk Front Street. There are many shops and eateries to explore. Beautiful buildings and some different shops to see. Close to the public beach so you could grab lunch and walk over to the beach or park for a picnic.

Obviously cold/snowy mid-March days cut down the hustle & bustle outside on the streets; but there are still plenty of options to fill one's browsing/shopping/dining needs.
We especially enjoy the architecture of many of the older, more original structures.
A great area to spend some time in season (or out).

Had a great stay at the Cambria Hotel. They offer shuttle service to Front St. We used that several times. Easy and convenient. Enjoyed Front St. The pizza place Paesanos has rooftop seating which was perfect as the day was beautiful. Also recommend the whiskey tasting at Grand Traverse Distillery. The cherry whiskey and cherry vodka were fantastic. Also enjoyed watching football at the Thirsty Fish Sports Grille. We ate breakfast all weekend at the Round house. Small restaurant expect a small wait, but great service and food was good.
All in all a great weekend getaway with friends.

Lively downtown area with a wide array of stores,suitable for all budgets. Plenty of restaurants, although most the high-end spots are open for dinner only. Nolan's cigar shop and bar is definitely an oasis when I'm in town.

It took us over a day- we had to go back the next day to see everything and try to eat everywhere. Lots of shops, the candy store was really nice , it had signs from the hippie days the would be collectors items. The Italian restaurant there, I think it was called the American Noodle- Kind of a strange name but Food was very good and old Italian. Morrsel was also very good and delicious. Don;t think I spelled that right but great donut shop and coffee shop.

I spend a few weeks in Harbor Springs with my dad each summer but this year I have a good friend coming up for only 3 days and flying into Traverse City. I told her I'd drive down to pick her up, then take her back to the airport 3 days later. I'd LOVE to use the travel time to and fro to discover new things in Traverse City and between there and Harbor Springs. Please give me some advice on the very best things to see and do.

I think a drive out to the end of the Peninsula, Old mission, would be great. If you're into wineries, there are tours and many to choose from out there, plus the beauty of the drive. Usually see eagles out there fishing the shores. We have some cute unique stores on Front St. for shopping. Lunch I'd suggest The good bowl, great food. Driving back to Harbor Springs, maybe go through Elk Rapids, cute stores nice shore line. Harbor Springs is a very nice area too, not sure how much "sights" is too much.
