Favorite places to eat in downtown AA

[uofmdixon]

I am taking my wife down to the spring game next weekend and planned on hitting up a bunch of restaurants while we are in town. We usually hit up the same places, but wanted to try someone different. I am also looking for advice on coffee shops near the stadium. Can anyone help me out?

My wife and I love Grizzly Peak.

We dig Black Pearl if we're in the mood for seafood. Blue Tractor has solid BBQ.

We also bar hop to Jolly Pumpkin, Arbor Brewing, Conor's, Mash (below Blue Tractor), and Heidelberg if we want to down a Das Boot!!!

Are they all near Jolly Pumpkin? My wife loves Jolly Pumpkins, but I'm trying to get her to try other places.

Everything is easy walking distance from Jolly Pumpkin.

I don't know about coffee shops near the Stadium; there might be a Starbucks or something on West Stadium Blvd... but it'll probably be a 15 min or so hike.

If you have time, Sweetwater coffee (its across the street kitty corner from Grizzly Peak) is worth it. Pick up a pound of coffee for home as well... it's pretty great.

Ok, Thanks!!

HaHa

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. They are doing it 2 weeks later this year, like I've begged for.

Alas, I won't be going, so I won't be bitching about the weather...so of course, it's going to be nice.

I was going to tell our buddy MichChamp that you had already posted it that you wouldn't be going? But I decided to wait for you to do it.

I guess the grizzly place where you and I met up with Mich Lady is as good as any? Everyplace I remember from my Ann Arbor days seems to be gone.

I really like the Real Seafood Co. I tend to go there on my birthday or my wife's birthday, as they offer a free birthday dinner with a free dessert.

it is a 1 minute walk to Jolly Pumpkin from there for some nice sour beer.

Well he doesn't have on a headset. Figure it has to be Hoke.

Jolly Pumpkin and those affiliated spots are owned by a couple of guys I went to HS with in TC and are all great locations -- not fancy, but high quality.

Zingerman's Roadhouse is up on Jackson Rd., but has very good food at a typically Zingerman's spendy level, but solid.

prepare yourself for spending $100 over what you thought you would be spending... then you won't walk away feeling violated, saying to yourself "How the shit did we just pay $250 when I was told we only went there to get placemats and a side table that was listed for $89.99?"
