Wondering What a Grub Crawl Is?

The 2012 Grub Crawl is a food & drink sampling tour featuring scrumptious hors d’oeuvres and special libations, presented by participating restaurants located between Kalamazoo in the east and S. Division on the West. Participants in the Grub Crawl will be transported by shuttle service, on a continuous circuit between the participating restaurants, with stops at each restaurant every 15 minutes.

Host restaurants will have specialty appetizer samples for you to taste and low priced drink specials to purchase at each location. Grub Crawlers may remain at each location for as little or as long as they desire.
