Neighborhoods
Where to eat, block by block
Ann Arbor
Downtown
The walkable core between Huron and William, Main and State. Most of the city's destination dining lives here.
25 restaurantsKerrytown
The farmers' market district north of downtown. Zingerman's Deli anchors a stretch of Detroit Street that still feels like a small town.
1 restaurantNorth Campus
Plymouth Road and the neighborhoods around the university's engineering and music schools. More strip-mall than sidewalk, but the food is real.
3 restaurantsWest Side
Jackson Avenue, Stadium Boulevard, and the neighborhoods west of Main. Where locals eat when they're not performing for visitors.
4 restaurantsSouth State
The campus corridor running south from the Diag. Student-driven, fast-turning, and occasionally great.
2 restaurantsStadium Area
South Main below Stadium Boulevard. A quieter stretch with a few neighborhood gems and the old Biercamp outpost.
2 restaurantsSouth Main
The restaurant row along South Main between Liberty and William. Echelon, Chop House, Jolly Pumpkin — the block keeps growing.
9 restaurantsYpsilanti
Depot Town
The historic stretch along the Huron River on East Cross Street. Sidetrack, 734 Brewing, and the weekend farmer's market.
8 restaurantsDowntown Ypsilanti
Michigan Avenue and Washington Street. The old commercial heart — scrappier than Ann Arbor, and proud of it.
5 restaurantsWest Ypsilanti
Washtenaw Avenue heading toward Ann Arbor. Strip malls and hidden gems between the two cities.
2 restaurantsDetroit
Corktown
Detroit's oldest neighborhood, west of downtown. The food scene here basically wrote the city's revival narrative.
3 restaurantsMidtown
Between the DIA and Wayne State. Dense, walkable, and where Detroit's dining ambition shows up first.
3 restaurantsEastern Market
America's oldest open-air market district. Saturday mornings are the draw, but the restaurants keep it alive all week.
2 restaurantsSouthwest Detroit
Vernor Highway and the Mexicantown corridor. The most flavorful stretch of road in the metro area.
2 restaurantsGreektown
Monroe Street between Beaubien and St. Antoine. Touristy now, but the history is real.
