FILM FEST WITH THE BEST We asked a few die-hard TCFF devotees for their tips on how to get the most out of your visit.

“ Check out the panel discussions! Filmmakers marvel that so many people come to a panel discussion early in the morning—worth it.”

— Lillian Ostendorf, festival fan and sponsor

“ If you’re in a standby movie line, ask the person in front

and behind you what movie they’re in line for. There is nothing worse than standing in line for the wrong movie! ” — Mark Jensen, a volunteer, sponsor, vendor and patron since the festival’s beginning

“ Buy tickets to films outside your comfort zone. Try a

documentary, foreign language film or short film. Those are usually the very best of the festival.”

THE THEATER BURNED DOWN ON JANUARY 17, 1923. IT WAS RENOVATED OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND REOPENED IN DECEMBER 1923.

TC’s Historic State Theatre The State Theatre actually began as the Lyric Theatre just over 100 years ago in 1916. The site has since seen two debilitating fires, the birth of a film festival, celebrities like Madonna, Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon and, of course, hundreds of movies.

THE STATE THEATRE GROUP AND INTERLOCHEN CENTER FOR THE ARTS ANNOUNCED A COMPLETE RENOVATION.

THE ROTARY CHARITIES DONATED THE THEATER TO THE TRAVERSE CITY FILM FESTIVAL. THAT NOVEMBER, IT REOPENED WITH A GALA PREMIERE OF THE FILM THE KITE RUNNER.

SOUTH UNION STREET

SOUTH UNION STREET (AKA SU)

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT

This art and antique paradise is located just off Front Street.

Anchored by the edgy Warehouse MRKT and Hotel Indigo, this downtown district sits between Front Street and Grandview Parkway on Garland Street.

THE MUST-DOS: Check out Higher Art Gallery’s contemporary exhibits and peruse Wilson Antiques for delightful vintage goods.

Then grab a crepe at Millie & Pepper and walk down to the Boardman River—only a block away. End your day at Low Bar—an underground craft cocktail lounge serving delicious concoctions.

Try the Pisco Sour, a tangy, frothy summer classic.

THE VIBE: Industrial Modern Meets Midwest/Instagram Heaven THE MUST-DOS: Wander Warehouse MRKT’s stylish shops— Darling Botanical, Relish, Grey Wolf Creek and Wood + Cloth. Order an artisan coffee and baked goods at BLK MRKT. Make dinner reservations at Alliance for an elegant and locally sourced meal.

EIGHTH STREET

SLABTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD

Our beloved Eighth Street is getting a makeover this summer, but businesses are open! View construction updates online, and know these destinations are worth the detour.

Adorable homes, neatly trimmed grass, chalk-covered sidewalks and a beloved burger joint sit between West Front Street and Grandview Parkway.

THE VIBE: In Progress

THE VIBE: Classic

THE MUST-DOS: Find fine wine at Bon Vin and refreshing brews at Silver Spruce. Early birds: Order a B.A. Bagel at Rose & Fern Cafe then head down the street to Press on Juice to grab a fresh pick-me-up (each juice is packed with more than two pounds of produce).

THE MUST-DOS: Find an upscale souvenir at consignment stores, Evergreen and Zany Boutique. Burgers on the brain? Us too. Try the TC Cherry Burger at Slabtown Burgers for an unforgettable burger experience. Burgers!

Maybe they’ll visit more …

THE VIBE: Historic Estate THE MUST-DOS: Craving a cup of coffee or a breakfast sandwich? Try out Cuppa Joe or Higher Grounds. For brunch there’s Sugar 2 Salt and Red Spire Brunch House. The dinner hour calls for visits to local favorites Trattoria Stella and PepeNero. And be sure to swing through the shops at the indoor Mercato.

Give a gift subscription of Traverse, Northern Michigan’s Magazine to your friends and family, and remind them what they are missing Up North, with stunning photography and awe-inspiring stories every month.

FRONT STREET Front Street is the heartbeat of Traverse City. It’s about a mile long east to west and is home to restaurants, shops, the State Theatre and more.

… Because Everyone Loves Up North.

Only $24 for 12 issues | MyNorth.com/perfectgift

THE VIBE: Main Drag THE MUST-DOS: Grab a cocktail and an appetizer at Poppycock’s and sit in the window to watch passersby—the pita platter is amazing. Horizon Books and Brilliant Books are always cozy, and both are very inclusive of local authors and events. On the fringes of Front Street, The Little Fleet (east side) and Nada’s Gourmet Deli (west side) offer fabulous options for lunch and dinner.

PHOTO BY DAVE WEIDNER

CASS STREET The fun starts downtown at the local shops and continues for a mile down the street with a craft distillery, brewery and riverside park.

THE VIBE: Laid Back THE MUST-DOS: Take a tour at Traverse City Whiskey—a fantastic local distillery on Fourteenth Street. Or, if you’re more into suds than liquor, check out nearby Right Brain Brewery on Sixteenth. Relax at Legion Park with a picnic then catch the next show. —M.K. 2019 FILMGOER

Late-Night Bites

When a snack just won’t cut it, head to these TC establishments that stay open late (well past the midnight hour).

BRADY’S BAR | 401 S. UNION ST.

Known for their Greek cuisine, the Lounge has great gyros and a killer Greek salad. Don’t forget the baklava. The kitchen closes at 1:20 a.m. seven days a week.

Simply put, Brady’s has great food and an even better rustic atmosphere. The tavern serves breakfast, lunch and dinner—the kitchen stays open until 1:30 a.m.

J & S HAMBURG | 302 W. FRONT ST.

DINO’S PIZZA | 543 E. 8TH ST.

This classic diner has been serving made-from-scratch food cooked on the same grill since 1938. Have a burger for breakfast or French toast for dinner. Homemade cake, too! Late-night hours: Wednesday–Saturday 24/7 right through until Sunday when they close at 8 p.m.

Pizza, breadsticks and submarine sandwiches—come on, what else do you really need? The next time you’re having an all-night movie marathon, Dino’s has your back (should we say your stomach?). Open until 1 a.m. every day except Friday and Saturday when you can get a dynamo deep dish until 3 a.m.

U & I LOUNGE | 214 E. FRONT ST.

WHAT TO DO BETWEEN FILMS Have 1 hour before the next show starts? 3 hours? More?

Get out and about between flicks.

Front Street » Pop a “Michael Morsel,” a bite-sized treat named for film fest founder Michael Moore, and look for other movie-inspired goodies at Morsels Espresso + Edibles the week of the fest. » Cherry Republic’s iconic Boomchunka (aka a massive cookie crammed with cherries and chocolate) is a must.

1-2 HOURS

NEED A SNACK? (YES, ALWAYS)

IMBIBE: Rare Bird Brewpub, 7 Monks Taproom, The Workshop Brewing Company and The Little Fleet are relaxing hangouts for a beer and a snack, and they’re all right downtown. It’s easy to walk— less than 10 minutes—from these locations to several TCFF venues: State Theatre, City Opera House and Bijou by the Bay.

» Goodboy Provisions has buttery pastries from 9 Bean Rows, healthy grab-and-go snacks and a chicken salad sandwich that makes grandmas proud. » Crêpes & Co, located inside the State Street Market, has sweet and savory fillings, and every crêpe is made from scratch.

Tenth Street » Oryana Community Co-op has lots of options for people with dietary restrictions—the walnut chicken salad is amazing, but the whole store is honestly a snack goldmine.

Union Street » Only a specialty meat market with 106 years of street cred would pull off a salad bar this scrumptious.

Maxbauer’s uber-fresh veggies, meats and cheeses are at the ready; load up a small container with your heart’s desire ($5.99 out-the-door). Balance things out with a homemade hot dog and a bottle of wine.

5-6 HOURS

PHOTO BY DAVE WEIDNER // DONUTS FROM PEACE, LOVE AND LITTLE DONUTS // TRAY FROM MY SECRET STASH

State Street

3-4 HOURS

» For the charcuterie inclined, stop by Burritt’s or Folgarelli’s for all of your cheese platter needs.

» The Balsamic Chocolate Cookie at Fustini’s Fresh Take is out of this world. Don’t leave town without a taste!

GET MOVING: Get some feel-good fresh air and stretch your legs with a quick bike ride around downtown or down the Boardman Lake Trail. Brick Wheels and Bayfront Scooters offer rentals. Want a break from the heat? Drop in on a yoga class at Yen Yoga and Fitness, Source or Modus45. Each is less than a 10-minute walk from the State Theatre.

IMBIBE: Head north on M22 to tour the Leelanau Peninsula’s cideries. Suttons Bay Ciders, Tandem Ciders and Two K Farms sit along, or near, the famous scenic highway. Hop Lot Brewing Co., also on M22, has traditional-style ales, Belgian and seasonal beers, plus wine and cider.

» The groovy donuts at Peace, Love and Little Donuts are mini—meaning you can have more than one!

» Pop-Kies Gourmet Popcorn has fun (and delish) flavors like PB&J, dill pickle, bacon cheddar and cookies & cream.

TAKE IN SOME (MORE) ART: Plan a visit to the Dennos Museum Center. The fine arts museum is home to Milliken Auditorium— which doubles as a TCFF film venue—outdoor sculptures, Inuit art and traveling collections. Back downtown, several galleries, including Higher Art Gallery, Michigan Artists Gallery and Art & Soul Gallery, are just a block from the State Theatre and City Opera House. On Sixth Street (one block from The Kubrick venue at Central Grade School), Crooked Tree Arts Center has year-round exhibitions and classes, and admission is always free.

TAKE IN SOME (MORE) ART: Beautiful galleries dot the villages along M22. In Suttons Bay, stop by The Painted Bird and Brenda J. Clark Gallery. Leland boasts Main Street Gallery, and Glen Arbor’s Synchronicity is always a treat. The beautiful Tamarack Gallery and Wright Gallery are located at the tip of the peninsula in Northport— and that’s just to name a few. Many more artists’ haunts to discover in each town.

GET MOVING: Many of Northern Michigan’s most beautiful hikes are located a short (and stunning) drive from the Traverse City area. A local favorite: Mission Point Lighthouse. Set at the tip of Old Mission Peninsula, the lighthouse is surrounded by miles of trails.

Find maps in the park, and expect forest views and spectacular beachcombing.

IMBIBE: Elect a designated driver or reserve a tour bus to take you to our peninsulas’ incredible wineries. From lakeside to hilltop, the locales on Old Mission and Leelanau simply cannot be outdone.

Even if wine isn’t your thing, it’s wonderful to sit and enjoy the views, and many wineries also serve cider.

TAKE IN SOME (MORE) ART: Drive out to Interlochen Center for the Arts (about 25 minutes from downtown Traverse City) to see students’ final performances and exhibits. This summer’s shows are 9 to 5 The Musical and The Drowsy Chaperone. There are also opportunities to visit on-site student galleries and classical music performances.

GET MOVING: Locals will tell you, the views are stellar, but there’s no better feeling than being on the water. For a quick jaunt, we recommend renting a standup paddle board on a placid Grand Traverse Bay day. Or head to Crystal River Outfitters in Glen Arbor (a 40-minute drive from The State) for an easy kayak adventure. —M.K. 2019 FILMGOER
