Food & Beverage

Nothing I love more than food. If Europe taught me anything-it was to judge a place on its drinks and dining (hence, I was 20lbs heavier when I came home)...

Aaron and I have discovered a few favorites here in MI:

Drinks: Oberon, Atwater Brewery, Motor City Brewery, Jolly Pumpkin Brewery, Bastone Brewery, Royal Oak Brewery, Motor City Brewery, Dominicks' (Ann Arbor) sangria
That's right-I'm drinking beer on tap, at the movie theater, in a leather recliner (jealousy understood)

MI tex-mex

Dominicks' homemade Sangria!!

Even beer selection at the Meijer (MI's Wal-Mart) is amazing

Food: Bastone (has become our Go-To), Tom's Oysters, Diablos (to watch sports), Royal Oak Brewery (comfort food), Rock on Third (Aaron's 'Town Pump' comparable), Town Tavern (great steak and seafood), and Monterray's (tex-mex)
Motor City Brewery (Detroit) pizza

Farmers Markets: Ann Arbor Farmers Market, Royal Oak Farmers Market, (we are still looking forward to seeing Detroit's Eastern Market)

Grocery Stores (odd category, but there are some really cool options for produce, wine & beer, etc): Hollywood Market (small but we can walk to and from), Trader Joe's (CHEAP and good quality brand of groceries, wine, flowers), and Westborn Market (it is BEAUTIFUL-great fruits and veggies, Michigan products, full-service florist, great meat market)
Westborn Market (already almost sold out of the famous Michigan-grown cherries)
