Since I've been in the cherry capital of the world for the past few days, I thought I'd do a review on a few of the stores I was able to visit in downtown Traverse City, Michigan.
Green Island Earth Friendly Goods, an eco-friendly shop, was one of the particularly interesting stores. Upon walking in, there was a huge mural of South American birds. The items that dominated the store seemed to be soaps, dishes, and baskets. Though many of the items were a little pricy, the durability may be worth it.
If you enjoy cooking with oils and balsamic vinegar (think European) then Fustini's is for you. Filled with fine oils infused with interesting and exotic flavors like wild mushroom and Persian lime, and brimming with aged balsamic vinegars with accents of peach, lemon, and even lavender (yes I said it - my mom and I bought a bottle!)
Finally, once you're all tuckered out, pep up with a great cup of coffee at Espresso Bay. The homey yet hip atmosphere accompanied by the smell of coffee and a full gelato selection creates a great place for conversation or to just rev up. The vanilla latte and chai tea were delicious.
Whether you have been to Michigan or not, it is definitely worth it to visit Traverse City. With their combination of specialty stores and friendly people, this is a place to be.
