Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
By Cynthia Barnes — Spring
2004
Fish Creek is the arts capital of Door County. In addition
to galleries and studios, cruising visitors will find “culture in
the country” by checking out the Peninsula Players (said to be the
nation’s oldest professional summer theater), the Peninsula Music
Festival, the Peninsula Art School, the Door County Auditorium, Peninsula
Dance, and the American Folklore Theatre. Whew! Almost every weekend finds
at least one or two plays, recitals, or gallery openings. For up-to-date
listings, head straight to the Visitor Information
Center (www.doorcounty.com)
at 4097 Main Street, a.k.a. Highway 42. There’s a 24-hour interactive
kiosk there, as well.
There are so many beautiful places to picnic in Door
County—including your yacht—that you might as well do it right.
Located right on Main Street, Fish Creek Market
(920-868-3351) is the place to provision. The deli section is packed with
the makings of a perfect sandwich, or they’ll happily make one for
you on the spot. There are steaks, salmon, and that Wisconsin favorite,
smoked chub. Soft drinker? Try a bottled beverage from Baumeister, which
makes orange soda, root beer, and Door County Cherry—a local favorite.
If you’d rather have hooch, there’s a complete selection of
beers, wine, and liquor, including vintages made right in Door County.
