Mackinac Island, Grand Hotel, Chicago's Millennium Park, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Henry Ford Museum

You're in for a treat as you explore Mackinac Island and savor the diverse flavors that comprise its cuisine.

Sample some of the freshest seafood, and a couple pieces of fudge are a must!

Here in the Midwest you'll find that grain products are the center of most dishes. Traditionally, Midwesterners use light seasonings, preferring sage, dill, mustard and parsley compared to hot, bold and spicy flavors used in other regions of the country.

While in Chicago try the famous deep-dish pizza.

Frankenmuth is known for its world-famous chicken dinners and German cuisine.

Climb aboard your horse-drawn carriage for an island tour that includes stops at the Surrey Hills Carriage Museum and Arch Rock. Following your tour, savor some time to enjoy all of Mackinac Island’s quiet pleasures. Enjoy brilliant views while sitting on the front porch of the Grand Hotel or take a walk downtown to visit the shops and buy some fudge, a favorite item on the island. Later, choose from a menu of tasty delicacies when you dine at the elegant Salle à Manger. After dinner, enjoy a cup of coffee while listening to the refined sounds of the Grand Hotel's orchestra. If you crave a secluded hideaway, retreat to the charming Cupola Bar.
