5 Vegan-Friendly Restaurants To Try In Grand Rapids, MI

Thieme Law

I am so grateful and very lucky to live so close to a city where they have so many different kinds of vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurants. All providing great food for a reasonable price. You can use HappyCow to always find the best vegan restaurants for wherever you are at. Here are five vegan restaurants in Grand Rapids that have good reviews.

1. Downtown Market- 435 Ionia Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI

Just in one spot downtown Grand Rapids, you can get: vegan tacos, vegan gelato, vegan sushi, a smoothie or acai bowl, pizza, or even bread. My favorite is to grab some gelato and head up to the second story and eat on the patio and enjoy the sunshine. I love looking through all of the different cute shops that are in the market! Some shops sell: speciality spices, flowers, some fresh produce, and olive oil to cook with! And of course, they have a two or three restaurants that are not as vegan friendly, if thats your cup of tea. Along with the Grand Traverse Distillery.

2. Stella's Lounge- 53 Commerce Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI

Stella's is by far my favorite. They have vintage arcade games, while playing old school music, and playing old school tv shows. They have anything from vegan chicken wings with vegan ranch, to a veggie burger covered in black bean chili, to a vegan Philly cheese. And if you aren't there for food, check out the 250 different kinds of whiskey that they offer.

3. Brick Road Pizza Co. - 1017 Wealthy Street, Grand Rapids, MI

Main vegan friendly foods that they offer are sandwiches, pasta, burgers, and pizza! They have a really good buffalo tofu pizza with a vegan ranch base! Also offering other kinds of pizza or the option to make your own. But my favorite is the vegan dessert that they make! Who doesn't love a good sweet vegan treat?

4. The Mitten Brewing Co. - 527 Leonard St NW, Grand Rapids, MI

In this vintage baseball-themed brewery/pizzeria, having a full separate vegan menu which offers over 5 different vegan appetizers, vegan specialty pizzas, and build your own pizza. The vegan cheesy breadsticks with vegan ranch and the pesto chicken pizza are a must on the to try list.

5. Little Lucy's Cafe- 1747 Plainfield Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI

An urban bakery and eatery located downtown opened for breakfast and lunch. Offering food items from a veggie burger, salads, sides from the build your own breakfast section. Such as tofu scramble, veggie sausage, veggie chorizo, toast and jam, or hash browns. Vej Crepe, vegan Mac and cheese, and the Classic breakfast vej style. Also adding to the options of having soy almond milk for coffee is available.

Grand Rapids has a lot of vegan friendly restaurants that you should check out! Your taste buds will thank you.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
