BEST DOWNTOWN (MI)
New Buffalo
Tiny downtown New Buffalo, Mich., is a popular with tourists and with Chicagoans for weekend getaways. Small boutiques offer upscale clothing, gifts, gourmet popcorn, home accents and more.
Among restaurants offering hot dogs to haute cuisine are the iconic venues of Redamak's, a summertime favorite for burgers; Oinks, offering hand-scooped ice cream; and nearby century-old Driers Meat Market.
"New Buffalo is the heart of Harbor Country, a great place to get away for a few hours, days, or longer," says Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Viki Gudas. "Our small town charm, unique shops and restaurants make you feel like you're miles away." - JDK
