Why we point you here

New American cooking in Traverse City that's charted internationally — worth building a night around.

New American cooking with the kind of confidence that gets noticed beyond Michigan's borders — this one's charted on Opinionated About Dining for two years running. In a region known for cherries and vineyards, it's worth the detour to see how the cuisine translates local bounty into something worth building a night around.
