Downtown Dining
The timeless appeal of Mackinac Island usually refers to horse-drawn carriage tours, tandem bicycle rides, Victorian architecture and historic Fort Mackinac. But let’s not forget classic comfort food! When you need a cup of coffee, have a craving for pizza or pancakes, or just want to join the locals for a burger and a beer, you’ll find it downtown – right in the middle of all the action and often with a stunning view. On Mackinac Island, some tastes never go out of style!

Welcome to Grand Hotel 🐢 - it only took me 2.5 months to post this photo, but here we are in all my sun-kissed glory.
Our shores recently were graced with blocks of blue ice!
Blue ice forms when snow on top of the ice is compressed and squeezes out all of the air bubbles increasing its density. This process allows the ice to absorb colors, resulting in vibrant chunks of blue ice. When the light hits the ice, especially on a bright Michigan winter day, the sight is chillingly beautiful.
Blue ice may be a rare find but it’s common to see here in the Straits of Mackinac. Let’s see how long the blue ice will stick around! #mymackinac #lakehuron
15x12” “112 Years of Spring Love and Lilacs” If you look close you may notice the wedding couple and then the MI Governor’s Mansion in the upper left.

I am a buyer for nephewsofmackinac as well as my shops. Usually by this time of the year I have attended 5 markets and clocked up hundreds of miles. This year we’re buying virtually from the safety of home. It’s been manageable but a little tricky for clothing. The silver lining has been more time on the Island. More time outside and time for moments like this...walking in untouched snow. Making “first tracks” as Amanda and I call it. This time has challenged all of us but continue to search for those silver linings. Some are obvious, some are tiny but they’re out there. I hope you are able find some silver linings.
