Art Prize: where should I eat?

When I go to Art Prize these are going to my top picks for good eats:

1. The BOB: Three restaurants in one place, each with delicious food...right in the main hub of Art Prize activity. The BOB is my no.1  pick for a reason. Gilly's for seafood fare. Juson's Steakhouse. Bobarino's. Food I like? Bobarino's (2nd floor) pizza and their spinach dip.

2. Cottage Bar: Because it's my fave restaurant :) you will enjoy a cozy fall day in this place with their chili, burgers, burritos, sweet potato fries or my fave, their spinach dip. Good prices for the amount of food too!

3. The 616: In the JW Marriott, DELICIOUS food, but a little pricey. Right on the Art Prize walking route though :)



At Big O's with friends last fall

4. Big O's: One of the best pizzas Grand Rapids will provide for you with an Italiano atmosphere. Right next to Parsely's off of Monroe Center, so it's close.

5. Hop Cat: actually a pretty good Art Pize venue. Enjoy their beer and do not leave without trying their crack fries!

6. Z's: This is a Grand Rapids classic. Serves food until 2am...and delicious food at that. It's right next to The JW Marriott Hotel. Fave food? Their stuffed quesadilla! It sounds bonkers but they have a quesadilla stuffed with mashed potatos! Kid you not...it is yummy.

7. Buffalo Wild Wings: typical but with sports big screens and close to many venues.. on the corner of Fulton and Ionia

8. Bistro Bella Vita: A little more expensive, but worth it in my book. Pizza, pasta, salads, lemoncello, martinis! Plus the wonderful wonderful atmosphere and staff...I reccomend it.

9. Rockwell's Republic: another of my favorite restaurants: good sushi, martinis, salads, sandwiches. Trendy, classy atmosphere.

10. The Reserve: Wine bar. Super classy, more expensive. Good food. Give it a try! Right next to the Devos Place too :)
