I will be moving to Grand Rapids at the end of the summer into a Condo at Cherry and College and I was wondering what restaurants, bars, and other fun places are within walking distance from our new home. Additionally, what things would you recommend a new resident to see? My fianc

Well I spose that depends on how ambitious you are with your walking. :D

Seriously you're less than a mile from fulton and Ionia where you'll find all kinds of bars and restaurants. In the winter it's probably a $5.00 cab ride to the center of downtown. You're a mile and a half from eastown where you can find middle eastern food, the best breakfast in town, a bar with good live music, and another bar where you can see a guy in an abercrombie shirt next to a guy w/ a 36" mohawk.

You're going to be pretty central to everything. And as far as what to see, just walk down the neighboring streets and check out the historic homes, I could do that all day!

Nothing better than watching some local band with a cold Oberon on a warm summer night in the beer garden at Bell's Eclectic Bar in the Zoo!

Well... not much is better than that.

Events and such:
