Hofbrau's Snickers Pie
Interlochen State Park is mostly closed this summer for major renovations, which means some of the nearby restaurants aren’t seeing the traffic they’re used to. All the more reason to swing by a classic Interlochen summertime haunt: Hofbrau Steak House & American Grille. Though the restaurant is known for their steaks, perhaps the most beloved (and memorable) dish is the Mile High Snickers Pie. This towering giant of a dessert features house-made “snickers,” Moomers ice cream, Oreos, caramel, and hot fudge. You’ll need at least three or four friends to polish it off! (And don’t forget, this eatery has over two dozen house-made cocktails on draft, plus tons of Michigan beers to choose from.) Visit Hofbrau at 2784 M 137 in Interlochen.

A Bridge Through the Genres
Try to define the sound of Lake Street Dive. Go ahead, just try. There are some jazzy overtones, but it sounds like pop music. There’s a bit of a country lilt to vocalist Rachael Price’s voice, but also a resonance straight from earthy 1960’s soul. The band has done songs by Hall & Oates, Bonnie Raitt, The Pointer Sisters, and George Michael, but Lake Street Dive is not a cover band (despite an occasional resemblance to Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox).
