Welcome

t takes more than glowing adjectives to describe the

Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area. Although you may travel here for an event – a football game, the Art Fair, a conference – you’ll discover something more. This is where people have made their best creative ideas come to life through events, shops, business, art, and music. There is evidence at every turn that life is different here.

Ranked among the best Ann Arbor has been singled out as a high-ranking American City year after year in numerous categories. Here are a few examples: “10 Great Cities for Raising Families,” Ann Arbor #2, Kiplinger “5 Great Places to Retire,” Ann Arbor #5, Fortune ”75 Best College Towns and Cities,” Ann Arbor #2, American Institute for Economic Research “100 America’s Best Small Cities,” Ann Arbor #46, CNN Money

Arts and culture in abundance Although geographically small, the area is renowned for its cultural offerings. Its art galleries; variety of museums; and music, dance, and theatrical performances deliver a depth and breadth of experiences on par with large metropolitan areas.

Fine dining to simple favorites Those who enjoy eating out will appreciate the nearly 300 restaurants within a 20-mile radius of the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. You’ll find whatever dining experience you are seeking—from townie-frequented eateries like Back to the Roots (top center) to nationally known restaurants. Alfresco dining, popular in the warmer months, turns city streets into outdoor cafes.

For the fun of it The award-winning Ann Arbor Art Fair (center bottom) draws an annual crowd of nearly 500,000, transforming the streets of downtown into a gigantic outdoor art gallery. In Ypsilanti, the popular ElvisFest (lower left) attracts professional tribute artists from across the country for this Graceland-sanctioned event. Fall’s football Saturdays start with massive tailgating, as more than 100,000 people flock to “The Big House” (left) to watch the Wolverines.

Restaurants

s you should expect of a city that has

as its slogan “Doing Life Different,” the area’s restaurant options include many imaginative venues and menus. One reason is the abundance of independently owned dining spots. The owners are free to cook up interesting versions of classic dishes and create specialties that customers will crave.

National Recognition Here is a sampling of the area restaurants that have earned the attention of national media:

• Mani Osteria & Bar made Food & Wine’s list of the "Best Italian Restaurants in the US" in 2012.

• Zingerman’s Roadhouse chef Alex Young won “Best Chef in the Great Lakes Region” from the James Beard Foundation in 2011.

• In the spring of 2011, Food Network’s hit show “Kid in a Candy Store”

explored “the sensationally decadent candy bars at Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory … where gooey handmade nougat is layered with original specialties like muscovado caramel and raspberry chocolate ganache.”

• Adam Richman of “Man v. Food” put Tios in the spotlight when he took

the Mount Nacheesmo Challenge and succeeded by consuming 5 lb of its nachos in just under 45 minutes.

• Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri visited the

oldest burger stand in Ann Arbor, Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger, where you can order the “Quint” with five meat patties.

Restaurants

The Joy of Beer You don’t have to be passionate about beer to search out our popular microbreweries. What comes out of the kitchen attracts just as many patrons as what comes out of the tap. Whether preparing food or beer, these establishments treat it as an art. How well do our local beers stack up? When four beer connoisseurs from NYC performed a blind taste test of Belgian-style ales, the Oro de Calabaza from Ann Arbor’s Jolly Pumpkin came in number one. Restaurants with on-site breweries are listed under “Microbreweries,” page 14.

Zingerman’s: Foodies’ Top Attraction What started as a corner deli in Kerrytown has grown into a family of food-related businesses that continues to receive abundant awards from celebrities and the media. Zingerman’s Deli’s huge sandwiches are as legendary as its exceptional array of deli products and bakery items. Zingerman’s Roadhouse features “real American food” made with the best ingredients possible, sourcing many items on the menu from Chef Alex Young’s own farm. The menu includes a separate category for its creative varieties of mac n’ cheese.
