nah there isn't, enjoy

Angelo's: deep fried French toast. $9

Monahan’s Seafood Market: blackened mackerel with Thai chili sauce. $10

Zingerman’s Bakehouse: Hungarian apple strudel. $3

Frita Batidos: chorizo frita loco. $13

They also have an Indian place that does a nice goat curry, but I forget the name and the price.

>>12199870
Thanks for the bump, autismo.

>>12199900
Is that the same as the cheese shop called Zingerman's?

What happens in the little finger-like thing that projects Northeast west of Marquette?

I have no idea but it's relatively close to Detroit, and the Detroit area has great Middle Eastern and Greek food, for me. Coney places are also a specialty and great for some slop piggin'.

>>12199913
I don't know a cheese shop by that name, only a restaurant and a bakery. I wouldn't be surprised, though.

>>12199929
So is Detroit as shitty as people make it out to be? I'm moving to AA soon and I feel like I'll get bored of it since it's such a small town and will want to venture out to Ypsi and Detroit at some point.

>>12199945
Ann arbor is gay Detroit is cool

>>12199945
Detroit has some sketchy areas and some places you probably don't want to venture into without an entourage or a strap. However, like any other big city it has more public areas that are cool/things to do. There's the city part and then there's the projects, you know.

>>12199852
The only they eat in Ann Arbor is dick. Enjoy.

>>12199913
zingerman's has a cafe and a deli in the same block of 2-3 buildings. see if they have "enough already" bagels. Definitely the place to go if you want to bring back food souvenirs though they're pricey. Farmer's market might have something stuff, too (don't remember the hours this time of year, google it).

>>12199900
>They also have an Indian place that does a nice goat curry, but I forget the name and the price.
cardamom is pretty good on the north side of town

Lab is probably the best coffee place in town. Blue Tractor has solid BBQ. Ashley's has the best beer selection, but there are a bunch of other pretty comfy bars too. Totoro has the best japanese.

>>12199921
michigan tech is on the keweenaw peninsula, there's a lot of nice mountain biking in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. If you're from michigan and you're trying to get to isle royale national park you'll probably go through there. Not a bad place, but considering how far out of the way it is if you're not going to MTU, Isle Royale, or live nearby, there's not much reason to go.

>>12199945
Ypsi is basically more Ann Arbor, but smaller and a little sketchier. definitely worth checking out. Detroit is ~1hr drive but there's really plenty to do in the ann arbor area

>>12199852
If you don't stop at buddy's for a detroit pizza you fucking suck.

>>12200154
don’t forget to get the anti pasta salad as an appetizer though. that shit is great.

>>12199945
The downtown area is as safe as any other big city and has plenty of shit to do and places to eat, just don't go wandering aimlessly and find yourself in the projects, basically if you start seeing burned out buildings turn around

>>12200444
Better yet, don’t go wandering. Have a destination and get there. No need to go exploring except in the heart of the city. Where there are lights and other people you will be fine. Use common sense and basic street smart. I’ve lived here my whole life and the worst thing that’s ever happens to me was a crazy lady sung me a song about her cat on the people mover.

How hard is it to get a CCW permit in MI

>>12201330
Not hard at all

>>12199852
not really, unless you're from flyoverland
>>12200109
I would 2nd cardamom for indian

t. live in ann arbor

>>12200472

This.

It's not really for wandering outside the main part of downtown. Still best to keep your word about you,, but it's basically fine. There are a lot of good restaurants around too

>>12199852
not posting in r/annarbor

>>12199852
Enjoy the potholes, slow ass drivers, and terrible traffic.

>>12200472
>he thinks ann arbor poses any risk
It's the most limp wristed city in Michigan.

>>12199852
The Raven has a pretty decent menu and an excellent whiskey selection in downtown Ann Arbor. In Ypsilanti there is a decent Guatemalan restaurant and an old school diner called the Bomber Restaurant. The closest area with numerous good restaurants would be downtown Royal Oak.

go to lan city noodles, fresh made noodles have a great texture - it's closer to ypsi though
blue nile is good, I rather like Ethiopian food (it's sorta similar to Indian)
if you can get over to ypsi, GO TO MA LOUS, I cannot stress enough how good their fried chicken is
check out the last word, cool bar styled like a speakeasy (expensive though)
jolly pumpkin has very good sours, grizzly peak and arbor brewing are good bars too
if you can get over to the western side of the city near stadium and liberty, I really really like star cafe, it's this small middle eastern place, if not Jerusalem garden is downtown and their hummus falafel pita is absolutely delicious
Chela's is my go to for Mexican food, but if you can get over to ypsi go to Miny's Mexican restaurant, they have fried corn quesadillas that are very very good

>>12199945
Ann arbor is small but there's a fair amount to do. ypsi
has lots of good stuff too

>>12200109
you actually like blue tractor? every bbq place I've found around downtown I haven't really cared for
I thought I didn't like bbq until I visited Austin

>>12201330
Very easy. They basically hand then out. I know half a dozen people that will rubber stamp you without waver having to go to class.

>>12202692
Were talking about Detroit retard.

>>12199852
I used to go to college there. Suggest No Thai! or Blimpy Burger

>>12199945
Downtown, Corktown, Mexicantown, and Midtown are fine. The rest of Detroit, including Hamtramck and Highland Park, should not be visited under any circumstances. That won't inconvenience you however because there's no reason to ever go into these areas anyways.

>>12202837
And if he ends up trying to go to royal oak remember that UK royal oak heights is a totally different place and you don't want to end up there.

>>12199852
Go to the Michigan Creamery and get a Superman cone. I vividly remember eating that as a child when I visited my grandma so you need to relive my childhood for me, OP

Zingerman’s Deli is really good, but a bit pricy.

>>12199870
Never been there but fpbp

>>12202836
don't go to no thai, hasn't been good in 6 or 7 years. blimpy burger is a meme too but not as bad.

>>12199852
Zimmerman's deli or restaurant. Thank me later

>>12202749
>blue tractor
maybe you got unlucky? sure, not going to be as good as someplace that has deeper bbq traditions but blue tractor holds up decently. Idk where else might come close. Ricewood probably, but it's off season right now, and stachel's has been going downhill since they expanded.

Second the rest of your recommendations though, and now that I'm thinking about the west side homes brewery is worth checking out too.

>>12199852
I went there two weekends ago.
Went to plenty of bars, but only went to one restaurant actually.
Hop Cat is what it was called, IIRC.
Good burger, and ~100 beer choices.

>>12199852
Zingerman's like the other anons said. It's expensive but good, easily the best Reuben i've ever had. Blimpey burger is also very good, can't believe noone's mentioned it.

I'm going to Wichita in a week. Anything there good to eat?

>>12203460
Of all the great local places you had to choose from you went to hopcat? Just kill yourself.

>>12199852
I was born in Ann Arbor, lived there for 5 years. I might be autistic but I know one thing; the Superman Icecream from Independant Dairy is the best Icecream in the world. Don't let yourself be fooled by the fact that ID is basically a gas station withut the gas, go. Get it.

>>12203541
I didn't go for the restaurants.
I went to party and get an easy lay in a college town.

man i know a girl from ann arbor she’s fucking insane

you could walk there from AA and go to depot and then go take a picture of the Big Prick

>>12202709
>would be downtown Royal Oak.

also known as Poser Town
kids and folks to scared to go to Detroit hang here
almost as pretentious as Ann Arbor

>>12199921
Are you talking about presque isle park?

>>12202659
>using Reddit
Are all Ann Arborfags redditors?

>>12203923

that's what I thought but it seems the Keewanau Peninsual

Ate mushrooms on a sunny winter day and tripped balls at Presque Isle many moons ago
shit was SO cash

>>12203983
Me and my crew got locked in the park one night. We didn’t know the gates got closed and locked at night so we got stranded there.

>>12203991

Did you see the Loup Garou?

Also why didn't you just climb the fence and go to the Wooden Nickel and drink beer?

>>12204064
We were still underage, our car was behind the gate and we were already drunk. The last thing we wanted to do was get arrested walking down the road shit faced so we decided to hunker down in the woods and sleep. Wouldn’t be the first or last time we got stranded in the woods overnight. One evening we decided to climb hogback and when we got to the top the sun was starting to set. What we didn’t count on was the sun sets on the wrong side of the mountain for our descent and combined with the tree cover it quickly went pitch black when we were only about a quarter of the way down. This was before the days of smartphones mind you so we didn’t have anything to use as a flashlight and the trail up the mountain at a lot of points isn’t well marked except for some paint on tree trunks to follow which we quickly lost without any light. We ended up wandering in the woods lost as fuck until 4am when we finally stumbled across some campers who told us which direction we needed to go to find the highway and we lucked out when we got to the highway a guy we knew just happened to be driving by and recognized us. He gave us a ride back to the trail head where our car was. One of the more fucked nights of my time living in the UP.

>>12204117
>we decided to climb hogback

camped on Sugar Loaf while Hogsback was burning
slept under the stars
was fun

>>12204183
When was it burning. Did you ever go to the caves off of 550 just north of the dead river?

>>12204190

1976
never been to the caves (didn't know there were any) but when visiting the UP with my wife and kid, made them walk to the trestle


and my kid jumped into Superior off that rock at Presque Isle

>>12199852
Tsai grocery is one of the few retailers of sun noodle in the region (best flavors: miso, tan tan) if you like making fresh instant ramen.

>>12203306
I've been told homes is great but I've never been. wolverine is also a good brewpub, but I think my favorite pub nachos in town have to be arbor brewing company's

>>12203460
hopcat isn't the worst but there's better choices. there's a cigar bar on main street called Siris that also has a ton of beers that I like a lot more. better food too

>>12204267
so is this a grocery store or do they have a food court too?

>>12204290
just a grocery store

My buddy took his wife and family to a Japanese place in Ann Arbor last week and said it was good
don't know the name but there can't be too many Japanese places and isn't really about the friends you make along the way?

>>12199900
>>12199852

Zingerman's is good.

If you like sushi try Miki's.

Slurping Turtle has all around good asian and ramen. Sushi there is decent too.

Mash is good for cocktails and sliders.

Aventura has good tapas and spanish food.

There's a meadery that doesn't serve food but has good mead if you're into that shit.

>>12204655

Forgot to mention if you're willing to drive 10 minutes outside of town on Zieb road Metzger's has outstanding fucking German food, its probably the best (restaurant) German food I've had in the states. Also a good liquor store right next door, buy the the barrel aged liberator gin.

>>12204655
>>t. Hillsdale fag

sped?

>>12200154
>burnt pan pizza with way too much shitty bread-dough
>being proud of this

>>12203925
yes all fags are reddit

>>12204718

Buddy's pizza is okay. My wife and kid will go out and bring some home. Grew up going to the original Buddy's in Detroit. It had a Bocci Ball court.

>>12199852
Anywhere. Try the tap water; it's delicious.

>>12199852
Eat some Columbus, OH dick.

>>12204718
Keep eating your inferior pizzas.. More for us Michiganders.

>>12199945
Detroit has its shit areas obviously but its got great food like mentioned before and also has a fair amount of shit to do and see. Really the outer dilapidated sprawl is the only notably bad part of it. Downtown is pretty much like any other big city.

>>12201330
Easy as fuck

>>12199945
>>12199852
Protip to my fellow mittenmongs
If ever you need to get to/from Chicago from any major area of Mi (Kalamazoo, Battlecreek especially) the hands down best way to do it is via amtrack. Way easier than driving or flying there.

fuck niggers

Sorry anon, you'll have to suck cock- Ann Arbor is for fags. You'll have to drive up to Bad Axe to eat real meat.

>>12204672
I live close to Metzer, is it really that good? I'll give it a try, I remember seeing it on Google maps and seeing sesame chicken on the menu of a German restaurant and not being interested anymore

Zingerman's is the best American/Southern around, expensive though and usually a wait. Both the Roadhouse and the Deli are good and honestly the best place to order from if you're looking for something to take home.

Other personal favorites other anons haven't covered:

* Tomukun Korean BBQ. Best Korean food in town, good banchan, great stirfries. You can order raw meat to cook at your table but the regular menu is good cheap and in large portions. I love the pork belly stirfries. Tomukun also runs a ramen shop next door but it's only mediocre ramen IMO.

* Cardamom. Best Indian place in town, best restaurant on North campus. It's not a buffet like everywhere else but their curries are great. (Don't bother ordering anything else for an entree.) I usually get the makhni. Not a bad place to go if you're a vegetarian fag like my sister, the paneer is better than the meat.

* Red Hawk bar and grill. Nice sports bar, great food, a bit Frenchified. This is where I take friends who just want something American. If you like chocolate order the Pot du Creme for dessert, my favorite dessert in all AA.

* Knight's steakhouse. It's an overpriced downtown steakhouse, but I like it and the food is always good. It's not in the same tier as your $100 a steak places, more like $30 for most entrees and I think it's usually better than the high end ones anyways.

If you like sushi I recommend Totoro's, but there's better sushi up in Novi and Canton and I wouldn't go to Michigan for sushi anyways. Don't go to Vinology or The Lunch Room, mediocre.

And on ice cream I like Blank Slate and Iorio's, but Stucchi's hires the prettiest servers.

>>12204655
>If you like sushi try Miki's.
I'm wary of sushi outside of the West Coast. The mediocre sushi back home was better than some of the higher end places I've had outside of the west coast but that was years ago. I'll check it out because I want to be proven wrong.

>>12205879
go for lunch on a weekday, they have some deals so you won't have to pay too much in case it's not to your liking

>>12205607
I'm actually gonna go against the grain here and say that cardamom isn't the best in town. I honestly think that's Everest sherpa restaurant. run by some people that used to work at cardamom. highly recommended
