Saturday was one of those lazy weekends where DH and I decided to head over to Odd Side Ales. On the way we realized we hadn’t eaten lunch yet so we decided to find a place near the pub. We ended up visiting the Pavilion Wharf Bar & Grille.
Where’s the best pizza in Grand Rapids?
February 16, 2011 By 7 Comments
Recently an editor from Slice contacted me and asked for advice on what the best pizza is in Grand Rapids. My standby is Jet 10 (love the 8 sides!), but when we had our wedding rehearsal dinner we served Bridge Street Pizza (back when there was a previous owner). So what did I tell him?

by BB My kids very well may have been born on the wrong continent entirely. A.P. especially is currently fascinated with all things Africa. It’s a big continent, so it may take us a while to satisfy his curiosity. My husband and I have even gotten into it, and had a discussion about taking a safari

by BB I have issues. Now would be a good time to illuminate one of them. A big issue for me is a comment I hear frequently, “There is no diversity in Grand Rapids”. I refuse to buy into this, and one way I can fight this misconception is by raising two children who really
