Home to the University of Michigan, this small city is packed with team spirit and some exceptional food beyond the usual campus fare. You’ll also find one of the best delis in the country.
Zingerman’s</a> is an Ann Arbor institution. Established in 1982, it quickly became one a must-try destination for deli fans from around the world, thanks to its overstuffed sandwiches made with bread from their bakery, cheese from the creamery, homemade sauces and some of the best meats around. But it goes beyond sandwiches – they have their own coffee, pastries, candy bars and plenty of amazing imported goodies." title="Zingerman’s Deli" height="527"/>
bright and airy café</a> serves fresh, unexpected flavors that liven up the standard lunch options. The menu updates daily, but could include turmeric pickled eggs spiced with za’atar, grilled savoy cabbage with chickpea, tahini, cilantro zhoug and a soft-boiled egg, or fennel-pickled shrimp with pollen aioli." title="Spencer" height="527"/>
Ann Arbor institution</a> — it’s been around since 1953. The ordering is very specific: Pick your number of patties, your bun and all your fixins’, and they’ll grill it up for you. Over the years they’ve added a few “modern” touches to the menu, with a variety of hand-battered veggies and a few other non-burger options. But it’s the nostalgia of the stand that makes it a must-visit." title="Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger" height="594"/>
the Chop House</a> is just that. Brimming seafood platters, wet-aged USDA prime steaks, impeccable service and sides like king-crab gnocchi and baked three-cheese macaroni with poblano peppers make this the perfect place for a night of indulgence." title="Chop House" height="1187"/>
