Food scene
This is a great spot for an outdoor drink on their patio that is on West Grand Traverse Bay. The food is excellent, but it is often a very busy spot so expect a wait!

They have a great rooftop bar for outdoor hanging out. I prefer to be outdoors, especially in the summer so all my recommendation are outdoor friendly. Their food items are limited, more snacks to share than a meal.

Another outdoor dining/bar area but this overlooks downtown TC. I haven't been as this JUST opened, but I know the space, and it is a great location. My mom was just there and said she had a good time. If you check it out, let me know your thoughts!

Any of the vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula are great. I personally am not a fan of Michigan wine, but each of the vineyards are fun to check out and have great vibes! I recommend this one, because you can work your way back into town hitting up other winery's you Google, as well as two great restaurants being close by. The Boathouse is 5 star, but excellent (and pricey!) but right on the Bower's Harbor and marina. Jolly Pumpkin is more affordable (and a brewery), just down the road, and has excellent meals too.
