Today’s Recommendation:
“Try the Western Avenue pub crawl. Walk up to the Muskegon Athletic Club (MAC). Then go (1) block to vintage Chicago-style Raquet’s Pub. (1) more block, enjoy the outdoor Courtyard Bar at Mike’s. Another block leads to the rooftop deck and bar above Typsy Toad. On your way back to the hotel, stop at the beer tent at Hackley Park Friday Parties in the Parks." — Jon

“Try the Port City Princess vintage boat cruise — docked next door to the Shoreline Inn. Enjoy cocktails, dinner, beautiful sunsets, and dancing.” — Patricia
