Welcome to your first antique stop of the day! One of the largest shops near Detroit, this large antique mall offers 33,000 square feet of antiques from over 200 vendors across the state. Browse through thousands of antiques, collectibles, clothing, jewelry, and vintage home goods. Arrive when the outlet opens so you can spend as much time as needed at this massive shop—you'll need it to dig through the endless array of vintage goods. Note that the shop opens at noon on Sundays, rather than 10 AM every other day.

Founded by a mother-daughter duo and sitting in the heart of downtown Howell, this hand-selected vintage shop sells one-of-a-kind vintage furniture and trinkets with a modern flair. Much of their goods have been intentionally repurposed to fit nicely within a contemporary chic design. Due to its high element of curation, you'll not need much time here to spot your favorite pieces.

While in historic downtown Howell, stroll around the corner to this speakeasy-like underground pub. You'll just have to find it first! The entrance is located behind the building in the alley, to the left of their Instagram-worthy mural. On the menu, select from an array of Michigan craft brews, craft cocktails, and casual American fare. If you're up for it, you can even catch a game of shuffleboard.

Save some room after 2FOG's, so you can make a stop at M Street Baking Company while in downtown Howell. Try one of their famous over-the-top milkshakes before continuing your day filled with antiquing.

For over forty years, this antique market has been known for its large yet comprehensive antique offerings. While big, the store has a more curated element and a higher price tag to it; you'll spend less time digging around and more time admiring the museum-like collections. You'll browse like a collector through some of the finest collections of trinkets of the past in this shop tucked just off the highway.

End your antique trail at the Mason Antiques District, a little antique village with about ten different antique shops to pop into. Tucked away in the small town of Mason, these shops are perfect to wander around and get lost in. A little more eclectic than past shops on your route, each shop within this antique village has its own personality and charm to it, and there is something to be found for everyone. Some shops require more finesse than others, but if you're up for the hunt you may come across some hidden gems at a steal price.

End the day with an incredible fine dining experience at the English Inn. Enjoy an authentic Beef Wellington dish as the main course, complete with a glass of wine from their award-winning wine list. When you are finished with dinner, catch the sunset on a lovely walkabout alongside the Grand River.
If you'd like to stay the night, the Inn offers traditional rooms and adjacent cottages to kick back and relax from everyday life. In the morning, enjoy a complete English breakfast if that's your cup of tea.
