Things To Do
Zingerman's Delicatessen
A MUST! Zingerman's is an Ann Arbor institution that we love dearly (our wedding venue is their local farm!). Nate's favorites are #2 Zingerman's Reuben and #81.5 Rick's 50/50 Mix, Stephanie's favorites are #73 Tarb's Tenacious Tenure and chocolate sourdough bread from the bakery for dessert.
Ann Arbor Farmers Market
Open on Saturday mornings, this is a fun area to walk around before/after lunch at Zingerman's Deli which is located right across the street. Lots of cute Kerrytown shops to check out in the neighborhood too!
Cherry Republic
Free samples galore! This is a great spot to try out all things cherry (salsa, chocolates, candies) and pick up some delicious Michigan-made souvenirs. Fun fact: Michigan's Northwest Lower Peninsula is the largest producer of tart cherries in the US
The Earle
Nate's favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor. Note they're only open for dinner. Upscale vibes in an intimate brick basement, French and Italian food.
Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger
An Ann Arbor classic. Eater says it best: "This humble burger hangout embodies Ann Arbor’s counterculture identity. The dizzyingly wide variety of combinations and the unique cooking methods are the antithesis of the gourmet burger chains that have proliferated across the country. While some label the burgers as laden with 'grease,' the preferred term is 'natural juices.'"
Aventura
A cute tapas restaurant with a fun outdoor garden space. Check out their happy hour and don't miss the churros!
Frita Batidos
Cuban inspired street food - think burgers, fries, plantains and tropical milkshakes!
The Arb (i.e., Nichols Arboretum)
An arboretum operated by the University of Michigan, this is a great green space in the middle of Ann Arbor to stroll through.
