If you love real Jamaican food this is the place for you! You absolutely must try the jerk chicken and the mac and cheese. A short walk from the house. If you like cocktails, the painkiller is a real delight!

New Buffalo is the first beach town over the border. Home to the famous Redamaks and The Stray Dog. Oh! And Oinks Ice Cream shop. The False Front is a speakeasy style cocktail joint that is a fun find. Several things to do around this cute beach town.

City/town information

Chesterton is about a 20 minute drive from Michigan City. On Saturday's there is a really nice farmer's market featuring local fruits/veggies, artisan vendors, baked goods, and several food vendors. If the Rolling Stone Baker is there definitely try one of their pizzas. It is WORTH the wait. After the market pop over to Running Vines Winery for a nice glass of wine on their outdoor patio. They feature live music every Friday and Saturday.

Fun for Kids

Not far from the home is Washington Park Zoo. Feed the goats, wave to the bears, and make silly faces at the monkeys! Your kiddos will really enjoy this unexpected little trip and it won't break the bank or take all day to get around.

Fun for All Ages

Four Winds Field was just voted best MiLB park in the country. We love this park! Lots to do besides take in the game. If you have little ones, there is a splash pad and a bounce house zone. Excellent food and beverage options! On Friday's they do fireworks as well.

Sheridan Beach

Sheridan Beach is a straight shot down the road. About an 8 minute walk. There is little to no street parking. Should you choose to go to Washington Park Beach, you will need to pay to park. Once you get to the end of Lake ave, there is a dune to walk over. This is Stop 3. I recommend going over the dune and heading to the right. Stop 2 is known as more of a party stop which would be heading to the left once you get over the dune.

Michigan City and Southwest Michigan (think New Buffalo, Three Oaks, Baroda) have a rich music scene. Here are some of my favorite places to catch bands. Most are all ages, but be sure to check business websites to be sure. Zorn - Running Vines (Chesterton) Blue Chip Rocks Lounge (21+) Anderson's Winery (Valparaiso) Aftermath Cidery (Valparaiso) Shady Creek Sunset Sounds at Prairie Meadow Park (Westville 1st Fridays) Four Winds Casino Round Barn (Baroda)

Lake Michigan Safety Tips

I absolutely love having Lake Michigan in my backyard! The beach is my happy place for sure. Safety Tips - Bring life jackets or floatation devices Check out the Washington Park Lifeguards page on Facebook before heading down to the beach to check the flag status. Green is good to go. Yellow is use caution. Red - steer clear of the water due to high waves and rip currents or undertows. If you have kids, it is a good idea to talk with them about how to get out of a rip current should they find themselves in one. Check out this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=610pS18mtec
