Discover New Buffalo
Grand Rapids is best known for its furniture industry, but New Buffalo may shift the focus of the city's fame. The Southwest Michigan region offers several eateries along its coast with the added benefit of being located near the Michigan-Indiana border. Bangkok chicken is a favorite dish in the city along with the wet burrito covered in red chili sauce, a classic Western Michigan taste. There are other Mexican-inspired cuisine options as well, including tacos and classic refried beans. Seafood is abundant in New Buffalo, too. Whitefish being the most popular option, frequently served with a side of fluffy mashed potatoes for local flair.
