If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, head for a restaurant with outdoor dining. Yes, it’s winter in Michigan and that phrase is mind-boggling to say the least. But there are so many benefits to getting out of the house and heading for one of these great establishments:
- You’re supporting a local business.
- It’s great for your mental health.
- Fresh air is always a good idea.
- You don’t have to cook!
So bundle up, grab a blanket, and enjoy a meal with your family or a best gal pal at some of our favorite local places this winter.
