    Begin your experience on the lively Wealthy Street corridor at Donkey Taqueria, where historic storefronts, public art, and some of Grand Rapids’ most beloved local restaurants create one of the city’s most energetic and walkable neighborhoods. While enjoying this corridor, your guide will share stories about the area’s revitalization, historic homes, and iconic public art that helped transform the corridor into a local hotspot. We'll stroll into East Hills, often called the “Center of the Universe” by locals for our second course at Vivant Brewery + Spirits before heading back to the Wealthy corridor for a sweet treat in the new Picnic Food Truck Garden at Waldorf Creamery. This experience is designed to leave you feeling pleasantly full and more connected to Uptown Grand Rapids.

    Explore the charming East Hills neighborhood of Grand Rapids, where historic character and modern creativity come together. Stroll along one of the city’s original brick roads while learning about the area’s transformation from early farmland and industry into one of Grand Rapids’ most vibrant districts. Along the way, admire beautifully preserved historic architecture, local public art, and the unique small-business culture that defines Uptown GR. A highlight of the experience is a visit to Brewery Vivant, a nationally recognized brewery housed inside a restored former funeral chapel.
