The Good Cold — Michigan Winter
The winter editThe Good Cold / Michigan After Dark

The good cold has a night shift.

Blue snow, amber windows, music, films, art and a reason to stay out for one more stop. Winter evenings are part of the trip.

Downtown, a little after nine.
Three ways into the story

Amber windows. Blue snow. Stay a little longer.

01

Detroit / a film, then a conversation

Start with a dated Detroit Film Theatre screening. Make Café Sous Terre your coffee or cocktail chapter when its opening fits. This is an evening with two destinations, not a race through five.

02

Petoskey / dinner becomes the evening

Spend the afternoon downtown and settle into City Park Grill for dinner. If the current music program aligns, leave the next stop unplanned.

03

Cheboygan / the curtain goes up

Choose an Opera House performance first, then shape dinner and travel around that start time. A brewery music evening is a separate option, depending on the calendar.
