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.
