Are you sticking around Grand Rapids for Spring Break? I can rock a staycation like nobody’s business. I have lots of information coming in the next few days, so sit back, relax, and please enjoy your flight. Wait; you’re not going anywhere. You’re staying RIGHT HERE. Where it is AWESOME. And there are VERY FEW NATURAL DISASTERS. Or BEDBUGS.
I have added some Spring Break events to my new Calendar, which is totally growing on me.
I’ll have posts coming shortly with ways to play, learn, and eat (is there anything else?) for less.
Let’s start with food, because I like food.
- Pietros Backdoor Pizzeria has Build Your Own Pizza Night (we did that a long time ago!) from Sunday through Wednesday. It’s fun, and a great deal at $1.99.
- If you are downtown and want an inexpensive but fantastic lunch that totally accommodates kids, check out Art & Bev on GRCC’s campus. Environmental bonus points for eating there because they recycle everything.
- Restaurant.com has an awesome discount right now; 80% off gift certificates and an extra $10 gift certificate when you use the code “TASTY” at check out. Take a look at their list and see if any look good to you! We’ve tried Tavern On The Square and Little Africa.
- Rio Grand Steakhouse has a Sunday Chuckwagon Special AND kids eat free. Chuckwagon just screams vacation to me.
You could also pretend you are on a road trip and eat at chain restaurants three times a day, for the full vacation experience. Some of them have Kids eat free deals; call ahead to the specific location for details.
- Denny’s- Kids eat free Tuesday and Saturday nights 4-10 PM.
- Texas Roadhouse – Kids eat free Tuesday Nights.
- Steak & Shake – Kids eat free Saturday and Sunday.
- Perkins – Kids eat free every day; one kid meal per adult entree.
- Buffalo Wild Wings – Wednesday night all kids meals are $1.99.
- Quaker Steak and Lube – Kids eat free Monday from 5-10 PM.
- Applebees – Free kids’ meal with purchase of adult entree on Mondays.

I just called Pietro’s and they no longer have the backdoor pizzeria and thus don’t have make your own pizza events. FYI
