Grand Rapids

TIME's Maggie Sieger tells where to go in Grand Rapids, Mich. For BREAKFAST: The Wealthy Street Bakery, at Wealthy and Union, offers everything from scones to asiago cheese bread. A CULTURAL FIX: The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Public Museum of Grand Rapids, 272 Pearl St. N.W. It's the only U.S. stop for the 2,000-year-old scrolls, containing the earliest-known version of the Hebrew Bible. A PLEASANT WALK: Stroll through Heritage Hill, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood provides a glimpse of 19th century Grand Rapids, plus Frank Lloyd Wright's 1906 Meyer May House. Find free walking-tour guides at the Heritage Hill Association on College Avenue. A BIT OF NATURE: The Frederik Meijer Gardens boast themed botanical exhibits (the carnivorous plants are only a bit creepy) and a 125-acre sculpture park. DINNER: The 1913 Room is Michigan's one triple-A, five-diamond restaurant.
