Grand River Ave. in Howell, Michigan!
As mentioned, this is not the first time Howell's main street has gotten a shout out. It was voted No. 1 in the nation in a USA Today 10best readers' poll last year.

Loveexploring points that out in their ranking as well! Here's there additional praise for Grand Rive Ave. in Howell:
Grand by name, grand by nature. The main street running through the heart of Howell, Michigan, is home to several historic buildings that now house unique shops and mouthwatering eateries. It's here where you'll find the Howell Opera House, built in 1881, and the ever-popular 2FOG's Pub, a subterranean speakeasy-themed haunt that offers craft beers, cocktails and shuffleboard. -Loveexploring.com

As a frequent visitor to downtown Traverse City, I have to say I agree! Some of my favorite places on Front Street are Poppycocks, Sorellina, and Cherry Republic.

Here's what Loveexploring has to say about Front Street in TC:
Known as the ‘Cherry Capital of the World’, the area around Traverse City is also famous for its freshwater beaches, vineyards and wineries and proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. On Front Street, the town’s main drag, you’ll find indie bookstores and culinary shops filled to the brim with cherry-fused eats, as the trees overhead show off their natural displays. There’s also the Friday Night Live street party every week during summer, and the Victorian-era City Opera House. - Loveexploring.com
