A historic Italian restaurant in Michigan where comfort food doesn’t come with luxury prices
If comfort food had a hometown, it would be La Cantina in Paw Paw. This historic Italian gem has been serving hearty, soulful dishes since 1936, and every bite feels like a hug from the past. The kind of place where the red sauce simmers all day, the pasta is tender and fresh, and the pizza slices are generous enough to make you forget the clock.

Michigan's Gateway To The Great Outdoors Is A Scenic Village With Golf Courses And Lakes
Coastal dwellers may think beachy fun is only of the saltwater variety. However, those living lake-adjacent know there's a world of adventure awaiting in the fresh water. For example, you can enjoy sun-drenched days on boats or on the sand at the must-see beaches along the Great Lakes. For another gateway to the scenic lakes and golf courses of Michigan, pay a visit to Rothbury, located about one hour north of Grand Rapids, an artsy city with mini-Chicago vibes. The closest airport is the Muskegon County Airport, which is about 30 minutes from Rothbury, but the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, which is about an hour away, offers more options.
