If you’ve spent enough time around rock ‘n’ roll in southeastern Michigan, there’s a colorful figure you’ve invariably encountered at some point: Hiawatha Bailey. Bailey, 78, is one of the Motor City’s true originals, a gay Black man who’s been in the thick of the region’s counterculture from the ‘60s onward, entrenched in hippie radicalism and the later punk movement. Now, after years in the works, a documentary exploring his uncommon life has arrived: “The Song of Hiawatha: The Life and High Times of the First Black Hippie,” will make its local bow Friday (Nov. 6) at the Detroit Institute of Arts’ Detroit Film Theatre, three months after its world premiere in Austin. The evening promises to be “a real rock ‘n’ roll experience,” as organizers describe it, with a performance by the seminal Detroit punk band Cinecyde and an afterparty at the Old Miami in the Cass Corridor. Along with a gritty, high-octane Detroit rock soundtrack, the 1½-hour film features an array of high-profile Michigan artists and activists whose lives intersected with Bailey’s through the decades, including Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Wayne Kramer, John Sinclair, Niagara Detroit and Pun Plamondon. The freewheeling doc is a passion project of New
Ask anyone who grew up near the Great Lakes about supper, and lake perch will come up fast. The little fish with the big following has been a Michigan menu staple for generations, served fried, piled high, and paired with slaw and tartar sauce. Plenty of restaurants still treat the...
More than 200 bird species show up along one stretch of shoreline road. That includes pelicans, eagles, and a crowd of tiny warblers that arrive every May like clockwork. The route runs 142 miles around a single bay of Lake Huron. Peninsulas along the way act like natural funnels, so tired migrating birds pile up in surprising numbers.

Traverse City, Michigan — a city where the lake’s blue hush meets the laughter of cherry pickers and poets, where Victorian homes lean into the breeze and the air is sweet with the promise of summer. Here, the streets are stitched together by the stories of Ojibwe ancestors, farmers, artists, and dreamers who came for the water and stayed for the warmth of the community. It’s a place where the scent of woodsmoke mingles with roasting coffee, where every block hums with the rhythm of festivals, farmers’ markets, and the slow, golden drift of sunlight across Front Street.
A grilled cod dish on this menu goes by the name Larks Lake Lobster. I love a kitchen with that kind of nerve. The cod comes lightly seasoned and served with drawn butter, so the joke actually lands. The building has been feeding people since 1946. It started life as...

Depending on who you ask, only three or four other states in America can claim more lakes than Michigan. Even then, the Mitten State tops the list for the most miles of freshwater shoreline. So you can imagine the competition among lakes in what is aptly nicknamed the Great Lakes State. Torch Lake and Houghton Lake get a lot of attention for their boating and fishing, but there's a lesser-known gem with crystalline water that's also worth checking out. Located a 2.5-hour drive north of Grand Rapids, Lime Lake sprawls across 670 acres in Leelanau County. While locals may not be keen on Lime Lake getting too famous, eco-conscious visitors can certainly enjoy this pristine environment while preserving its beauty.

You don’t need a whip or a fedora to find treasure in Michigan, just a bucket, comfortable shoes, and directions to P.H. Hoeft State Park in Rogers City. This little-known park sits on one of the most quietly spectacular stretches of Lake Huron shoreline in the state, and the rock hunting here is the kind that turns ordinary people into enthusiastic amateur geologists before lunchtime.
Michigan takes its hot dogs seriously, and a few stands across the state still serve them the same way they did decades ago. Think chili-topped coneys, simple menus, tile counters, and car hops bringing root beer right to your window. These spots skipped the trendy makeovers and kept doing what...
