Weekend in Ann Arbor Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Zingerman's Deli is an excellent place to eat lunch or brunch! Expect a longish line though, because it does get packed. And don't be intimidated about not having a place to eat--go next door to Zingerman's coffee house--if there isn't a place on the main floor, then go upstairs, where there is usually always room! Oh, and try their Rueben! Delicious!!!Quick Tips: The Ann Arbor art fair is excellent, but there is limited availability in hotels. If you want a day trip, it’s excellent.

The vendors mark everything up dramatically during the art fair!Best Way To Get Around: U of M buses are free; the t...Read More

Holiday Inn North Campus Ann Arbor Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Holiday Inn North Campus"

Conor O'Neill's Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Conor O'Neills"

Quote:
Dinner and lunch are quite exceptional. I have eaten at Conor's many times, and have never had a bad meal. The portions that they serve always makes me ask for a doggy bag! During the warmer weather seasons, they have tables outside on Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor, and it's nice to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. But it can get noisy too! If you want to sit and enjoy some Irish music, watch their calendar of events because they do have traditional music nights there as well as Pub Quiz night, which is a fun way to test the unimportant trivia that sticks in the average human's brain! They have a fully stocked bar with many interesting liquors and beer. Of course though, this is an Irish pub, so G...Read More
