Hi!

I (31F) have lived in Michigan my entire life but have not spent any time around Holland/Saugatuck.

I have a hotel booked in Saugatuck for my birthday in early October. I 100% want to go spend some time in Holland while over there, too. My partner (38F) will be joining me!

Any tips on where I should go or what I should do?
Is there anything special happening in the area around the 7th - 9th of October?

I'm a foodie, so any restaurant suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hello Hollanders!

I'll be visiting your beautiful city this coming weekend and looking for any suggestions for recreation, restaurants and interesting spots that make Holland, HOLLAND.

I looked for a sticky in the sub for something like this but didn't see one.

TIA

Just looking for friends around mine and my husband's age (early mid 30s)

Seems like everyone that we consider friends here are more self centered than we realized and we just want people to hang out with. No that doesn't mean that we're open to being friends that lead to a poly relationship or for a third for our relationship. We're genuinely looking for friends. If you have any questions shoot a message. We do have kids if that helps.

Edit: We are both into gaming, D&D, he likes to go do paintball and airsoft as well as the shooting range, i like going out and doing karaoke and having a drink every so often (not much of a drinker anymore), and since it's summer time and warming up I love bbqing and throwing down on the grill.

Hi! Hoping this doesn’t attract islamophobes but my husband and I will be staying in holland for a few months with my parents and know there isn’t a mosque here. I was wondering if you know any community or prayer space in the area that prays jummah prayer? I know there are a couple mosques 45-50 min a way but that will be difficult for him to get to because he has work.
Please let me know if you know of any place. I’m finding mixed results on Google.
Not sure if there are any Muslims in holland locally so I know it’s hard. Wish there was a small space for Muslims here but I know there probably isn’t really a need here for locals.
Thank you! I appreciate it.

I have a groovy old light that I bought 30 years ago and its dimmer switch needs to be replaced. It one of those floor lamps with 5 long arms that each hold a light fixture. We call it the Spider Lamp. Do you know of a fix-it dude or dudette that could replace the dimmer? Thanks neighbors!

Hello, I’m going to saugatuck this week with some family and my husband! My husband is a huge soccer fan, does anyone have any recommendations of where to watch the World Cup in saugutuk?

Where would you take someone for the best perch around?

Update: thanks everyone! Looks like Wally’s has the most votes.

Going to be visiting from Lansing on the third afternoon and evening till the 4th afternoon. Just curious if there's any events going on in Holland or any surrounding communities that would be fun to attend. I was planning to go to the Holland Farmers market on Saturday morning, do you think that will still be going on?

Appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you

I'm coming into the area on Friday and was wondering if you knew of any Tolkien/Middle Earth/LOTR stores or activities that I might check out!

Where is a good place in holland to get breaks repaired

So many good spots I wanna hear the best one and try it

Hi! I try to collect matchbooks at every place I go to. Do you guys know of any places here that have some?

Hey! I, 25F, recently moved to the area and am eager to make some friends here since I plan to stay long term.

I thought it might be fun to host a monthly book club -- my rough idea is to call it something like "Post Grad Reading Club" and focus on literary fiction. Think modern classics, highly rated/award winning books and the kind of stuff that could have been required reading in high school, haha.

Thought it might be a fun way to meet some people my own age with a shared interest in being a book snob 😄 Sound appealing to anyone? Does a club like this already exist in Holland?
