All Things Grand Rapids: January 2013

All Things Grand Rapids. Activities and events in the Greater Grand Rapids Michigan area. Monday, January 28, 2013. Disappointing Shows This Weekend in Grand Rapids. We started with “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter” at the Civic Theatre Saturday night, and what a disappointment it was. The actors were fine and did the best they could do with the material, which is the problem. Watch the movie of the same name and you’ll come away with a much richer appreciation of this story. The sign language pla...The 194...

All Things Grand Rapids: April 2013
http://allthingsgr.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
All Things Grand Rapids. Activities and events in the Greater Grand Rapids Michigan area. Saturday, April 27, 2013. Meijer Gardens - 4/25/13. The weather was cool and windy, it was a Thursday, and the butterfly exhibit was a few days away from closing so I'm thinking no one will be there and I can enjoy a peaceful walk. Wrong The parking lot gave me my first clue, packed and full of buses. I ignored the clues and entered the mayhem. The boardwalk was cool relief from the crowds. Showed very high water.

All Things Grand Rapids: July 2013

All Things Grand Rapids. Activities and events in the Greater Grand Rapids Michigan area. Saturday, July 20, 2013. Steve Miller Band at Meijer Gardens - 7/18/13. Another incredibly hot and muggy evening but we were back, this time with umbrellas to block out the sun while waiting. Highly recommended. Seeing that the band formed in 1967, we weren't sure what to expect and hoped it wouldn't be a Beach Boys experience, and it wasn't. The man can still sing and play, and his band consists of top-notch pr...

All Things Grand Rapids: August 2013

All Things Grand Rapids. Activities and events in the Greater Grand Rapids Michigan area. Monday, August 26, 2013. Lyle Lovett at Meijer Gardens - 8/24/13. The best and the worst of the evening. Lyle and his very large band were professional and impressive. The band walked out and started at 7:05 (we could hear them warming up as we waited in the huge line at 6pm). Lyle joined them five minutes later and they performed together starting at 7:10. And didn't stop until 9:44pm. My Baby Don't Tolerate. Besid...

Monday, July 4, 2011. Berlin, Germany - June 2010. Marienkirche and the Fernsehturm (TV Tower). Built in the 1960s by the then German Democratic Republic, the tower is the highest structure in Berlin and has an observation deck and a revolving restaurant. St Mary's Church is one of the oldest churches in Berlin. The oldest mention of it was in 1292. The Friedrichs-Werdersche Kirche, constructed 1824-1830 and designed by Karl Friedrich Shinkel, it now contains a permanent exhibit on Shinkel's life and work.

All Things Grand Rapids. Activities and events in the Greater Grand Rapids Michigan area. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Bill Kirchen and Redd Volkaert, Ada Riverhouse 7/25/15. Doors opened around 5pm and we arrived around 5:30 with our lawn chairs, for our first ever concert at the Ada Riverhouse. Around 8pm Bill Kirchen and Redd Volkaert were up on the stage and doing their own setup work. They don't have "people" and they didn't have a back-up band or musicians. It was sweet and pure music. He not only calle...

http://eatingourwaythroughgrandrapids.blogspot.com/2015/04/sushi-kuni-2901-breton-32615.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Sushi Kuni, 2901 Breton 3/26/15. They call themselves a Japanese Fusion restaurant and five years ago moved into the space that used to be Shogun. Enter this establishment and you are immediately struck by the lovely ambiance. The lighting is dim and the decor subtle and tasteful. The place is divided into two areas, this row of booths and small tables upon entry,. And another dining area with a few larger tables, a few booths, and the sushi bar. N to the entrees. The soundtrack ...

EatingOurWayThroughGrandRapids: February 2014
http://eatingourwaythroughgrandrapids.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 20, 2014. Bangkok Taste Cuisine, 15 Jefferson 2/20/14. Matt had been here before with a group of friends but we had not been there together so today it was our lunch choice. We took a seat in this alcove, holding 4 more tables. At one point a cute little Thai woman stepped out from behind the screen (that leads to the kitchen) and waved at us and said hi as she headed to the ladies’ room. Everything about this place is friendly. The portions are large and we each took a box home. S...

EatingOurWayThroughGrandRapids: December 2014
http://eatingourwaythroughgrandrapids.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 21, 2014. Taqueria Garcia, 3536 S Division 12/19/14. Ten days ago we lunched at Pho Soc Trang, located in the Asian Shopping Center at 4242 S Division, and on our way back north, we spotted several small hole-in-the-wall restaurants that we noted for another time. And today was one of those times. Located just north of 36th Street, the place will be missed if you blink. Another customer walked in, sat down at a table, and received table service. So it is available but you have to kno...

EatingOurWayThroughGrandRapids: March 2014
http://eatingourwaythroughgrandrapids.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 22, 2014. Rincon Criollo, 1523 Grandville Ave 3/21/14. Scouting for restaurants we haven't written up, we came across this one south on Grandville Avenue. As we got close, we started to recall being here before some years ago and when we walked in, we were sure of it. At that time we took a look around, no one was there, employees or customers, the buffet looked closed, and we walked out. Today we stayed and were glad we did. Matt and Rachael shared it and took huge take-home boxes. And t...
