Perks of Frankfort's Latte Flights
There are plenty of reasons to take a stroll through downtown Frankfort: the shops (finally reopening for the summer!), the beer garden at Stormcloud, the views of Lake Michigan, and—at least for this writer—the coffee. Perks of Frankfort is a creative neighborhood coffee bar also home to breakfast and lunch eats like cinnamon rolls and daily soup specials. This month, we were drawn in by the Early Summer Latte Flights, which run through the end of June. Pick two drinks off the seasonal menu and two from the regular menu to create your flight: pictured here are the White Chocolate Lavender Mocha, Cookie Butter Latte, Mocha, and Caramel Macchiato. Enjoy your drinks hot or iced depending on the day. Find the coffee shop at 429 Main St. in Frankfort. perksoffrankfort.com.
An Ice Age Odyssey
The summer temperatures may be heating up, but the Grand Traverse Conservation District and the Grand Traverse Area Rock and Mineral Club Pebble Pups are taking us back in time to colder days with their Family & Children Geology Hike Series. On June 1, from 10-12pm, the topic of the hike will be the Ice Age. You may not run across a wooly mammoth or a saber tooth tiger out in the woods, but you will get to explore terrain that was shaped by the glaciers of the Ice Age and learn from knowledgeable geological guides about the ecological and geological legacies left by the retreating ice. Meet at the Oleson Pavilion next to the Boardman River Nature Center at 1450 Cass Rd. in Traverse City. The event is free, but registration is required at natureiscalling.org/events.
