Not to mention it&#8217;s full of construction right now &#8211; August 2020.  That said, it&#8217;s a cute area with little shops full of gifts, U.P. apparel, art, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Eat in Munising Michigan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Muldoon&#8217;s Pasties<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll come across these all over the place. And if you&#8217;re in the area, you have to get one somewhere! <strong>Think of it as a chicken pot pie and a hot pocket getting married.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These homemade crusts are filled with beef, chicken, or vegetable, and combined with potatoes, onions, carrots, and rutabaga to make what&#8217;s called a pasty. Btw, it&#8217;s &#8220;pass-tee,&#8221; not &#8220;pay-stee.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend Muldsoon&#8217;s, a family-owned, and operated restaurant and gift shop that make some of the best pasties around. There are two locations in Munising, Michigan, and if the original one (right off Munising Ave.) is really busy just head over to the other one on Elm St. Same recipe! And we were in and out of there in 60 seconds. P.S. ketchup is crucial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3790\" data-src=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3790 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384.jpg 1177w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3790\" src=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2384.jpg 1177w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3791\" data-src=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3791 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385.jpg 1177w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3791\" src=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/littlebluebackpack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2385.jpg 1177w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eh!
