Nowicki's Sausage Shoppe Alpena

Food is self serve and very reasonably priced. They also have a small section of ice cream. They have a couple freezers stocked of their meats...

Downtown Scoops
Ice cream shop
👍👍 Our favorite ice cream shop in Alpena. They have lots of variety and make their own waffle cones. The shop is cozy with exposed brick and a tin ceiling. They sell local merch as well as ice cream. There's seating inside and out. No pets allowed

1st Street Beach Manistee, Michigan
Beach
👍👍 Nice they have shelters here you can sit out of the sun and eat lunch, while basking in the views of the lake and pier.
Lake Michigan is gorgeous here, and it’s worth it to take a stroll after lunch to the pier and walk it, or to the concession area and bathrooms just to the south.

Austin Brothers Beer Company
Brewery
👍👍 Austin Brothers is the new jewel of Alpena. A delightful hotspot that this sleepy town so desperately needed. The beer is great and the food is on par. Pair that with their wonderful staff and it makes for a highlight of any day.
