The Dancing Bear - on N. 3rd Avenue is a great place for kids and adults. We love the hard to find high quality toys, gifts, pottery, and books. And it’s right around the corner from the classic Perry’s Cherry Dinner! Barn Door Quilts - on N. 3rd Avenue. We watched this gem grow from a small quilt shop, ran out of an old Jefferson Street barn, to a full service shop. Barn Door offers everything from fabric to quilting classes. If you are a quilter or know someone that is be sure to stop in at Barn Door Quilts Candleworks of Door County - is located just north of Sturgeon Bay at 5789 Highway 42. Both locals and long time visitors were happy to see Door County’s original candle maker, Mike Felhofer, get back into the game after Lang’s buyout of Door County Candle. As always Mike does it right. He offers handcrafted candles made from highest quality ingredients available.

The menu includes traditional American foods, Italian, and contemporary dishes. Bakery, pastries, and desserts are made from scratch. The Inn’s dining room is casually elegant and radiates the rich warmth that only a historic building can. Expect to find fresh fish, tender fillets, and interesting culinary treats daily. The Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar The Sage has contemporary and sophisticated feel. It is self-billed as “modern and elegant with an Asian –influenced style.” Expect to find steaks, fresh fish, and many other favorites prepared with hints of classic French overtones. The extensive wine list can only be described as impressive and offers something for every palate. On weekends you may enjoy live jazz and contemporary music. The atmosphere and menu confirm Sage is geared toward an adult clientele. After visiting similar places from San Diego to Santa Barbara we think Sage easily pulls off the contemporary -sophisticated experience better for less.
