Around the Corner Food and Fun

Around the Corner Food and Fun is a beloved family-owned restaurant located in the charming village of Northport, Michigan, in the heart of Leelanau County. Founded by Laura and Thomas Cavendish in 2018, this community-focused eatery began as a tent at the Northport Music in the Park Festival and has since become a cornerstone of local dining and entertainment. The restaurant serves a locally-driven menu featuring inventive comfort food made with fresh, regional ingredients. What truly sets Around the Corner apart is its commitment to family fun - hosting regular outdoor movie nights, Science Days with hands-on activities like balloon-powered cars and archaeology exploration, and Art Days featuring creative projects. The venue also offers catering services for private events and hosts special seasonal activities including Meet Santa's Reindeer during the holidays. With a welcoming atmosphere that appeals to both locals and Northern Michigan tourists, this restaurant embodies generations of love for the Northport community. The Cavendish family moved to Northport permanently in 2006 after visiting during holidays and summers throughout their childhood, making this business a dream come true for Laura. Open year-round, the restaurant provides a warm gathering space where family, friends, and community members can enjoy delicious food together while participating in engaging activities that bring people together.
