My Secret Stash is definitely worth checking out for fun gifts in Traverse City!…read more Slightly off the Front Street drag (though you can literally see it from Front Street, a stone's throw down Cass), My Secret Stash has all the Michigan-themed tourist goodies you could want! I availed myself of an assortment of magnets and pins. There's a focus on MI artists which is always encouraging and adds a special local touch as well. While I could keep this place "my little secret," I want to get the word out about My Secret Stash so you can enjoy it too! Check it out when you are downtown.

There are plenty of great items feed you here. Overall, I did find a store a little bit overpriced but many of the items I've seen it various other home goods stores. Still worth checking out!

Basically anything you could buy that Cherry would work for is here. They have lots of areas where you can try different things and you can do wine tasting as well. Staff was very friendly welcoming. Welcome to us as soon as we walked in the door and moved us through the line of checkout quickly. If you like Cherry, this is the place to come to. Prices are a little elevated, but not bad at all for a touristy kind of thing and for the variety that they have to choose from.

The people working there are always helpful and kind. The shirts will last you years. I still have a shirt from 2000 that I sometimes wear. It is a long standing business in downtown Traverse City started by and owned by a great local who really cares about the business and the experience people have. I am so happy to support it!

This place had a great selection of pre-made t-shirts but their main focus is custom-made shirts primarily. This door also featured a lot of great gifts and souvenirs to take home as well with a lot of Michigan swag on it. Prices were pretty fair too on most items but pretty good on bulk items custom work. Overall, solid recommendation on this place

Such a fun downtown area up here…read more There's so many wonderful clothing, boutiques, dining, coffee shops, Cherry Republics around the corner from each other, tacos, and gift shops too. Parking is free after 6pm. Use Park Mobile app to pay for parking. Much of the street parking is usually full and the back alley spots tend to be assigned. There are many public parking lots all over.

I love Silver Swan! they offer some middle eastern goodies like dolmas, hummus and baba ghanoush,…read morewhich you can get separated nicely with pita bread to go, or have altogether in a wrap. I've had both, depends on my mood. They also have some German food, which is rare to find up in this area, as well as lebkuchen cookies around the Christmas holidays. I am not a big fan of ham, but they have a pineapple and ham sandwich, grilled, that is to die for. The dessert case has homemade lemon bars, cream puffs, rice pudding and other homemade yummies. The decor is unique, with small gifts, cards and European treats for sale as well. My husband had them cater my 40th birthday party a few years ago and the food was excellent then as well.

This is an often overlooked place, set on the side of M22 a little past Tom's grocery store. It's…read moremostly a lunch place, but they do catering as well. They have the best reuben in town (also the messiest). A great vegetarian menu and also a daily special of more homemade-type meals like meatloaf or stroganoff. The tomato bisque soup is really good as well. Everything is made from scratch. Oh, and usually I'm too full, but the desserts are rockin- like a giant cream puff the size of a softball. I used to come here all the time for work and I loved it. It's not set in the best location and I think it shares its parking lot with a carpet store or something. But the food is worth it and its cute inside, with some really cool artwork (weird joker clowns). I always forget about this place in town since it doesn't feel like a destination, but when you think about going to Scott's for the view, you should think twice and head to the Silver Swan for the food.

It is now a nearly fully "refurbished" and modernized Kirkbride asylum re-purposed with special attention paid to historical fidelity. You don't see that very often, and that alone is worth a visit. When our tour concluded, it was brought to my attention that the best, three-cheese grilled sandwich could be found here. With such an unassuming menu, you would never even know they served sandwiches. But I tried the mythical grilled cheese and it was good, so five stars to Michigan Farm Market and congratulations on existing within this amazing new marketplace in Traverse City!

Honestly I think the price was a little too high, but like I said I was craving something! It was a little smaller than my palm and a little more than a dollar. A typical guy could finish the cookie in two bites. The cookie itself was pretty good and hit the spot perfectly!
