Top 5 Places to Eat on Bridge Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Sovengard - There is no cooler setting on Bridge street than The Sovengard. When you walk in off Bridge street you will be blown away by the unique ambiance. Nestled in the back of their Garden level restaurant, their Bier Garten, is the perfect escape for city dwellers and foodies alike. The Scandinavian titles can be a bit intimidating , however, a server’s suggestion has never lead me astray and I’ve always LOVED it! I’ve honestly never had something from here I didn’t enjoy. This restaurant is farm to table and the owners, Rick and Kelly, have created a taste and an environment you will never forget.
The Best Art Walk to do in Grand Rapids, MI for ArtPrize 2022
2022 ArtPrize is going to be another fun one. Swift is fortunate to be an ArtPrize Venue again. I’m sure I’ve shared in prior posts, but I love Artprize. I think it’s one of the coolest things we do in Grand Rapids. Printing is obviously my passion and has become a conduit to the art world. In 2012, I planned my wedding around ArtPrize.

Fans of Valley Field AKA Sullivans Field
“Land is transferred from Grand Rapids Public Schools to the City to create Sullivan (Valley) Field. Many baseball teams played at the field, including the American Seating Company team, the Seaters. The field was renamed Sullivan Field in 1996 to honor Bob Sullivan, a long time amateur baseball sponsor. The Grand Rapids Sullivans were a Grand Rapids-based baseball team owned and managed by Bob Sullivan and affiliated with the National Baseball Congress.”
