• The faves of Ann Arbor

  Since this summer has begun, I've realized that I have my little "faves" of Ann Arbor. I'm not quite sure why it took 4 years to figure this out.. but here goes:
  
  Favorite.....
  
  - Ice Cream Spot: Washtenaw Dairy. Not only is it cheap, but for $2.50, you can get a gigantic waffle cone, underneath the term "kiddie" size.
  - Lunch spot: Jerusalem Garden. Everything that I've had there is GREAT.
  - Breakfast: Flim Flam. Mmm. or Cafe Felix.
  - Club: Live at PJ's. I didn't like it at first, but after going with so many pharm ppl, over and over again, I've begun to really like it.
  - Happy Hour: Gandy Dancer. 5 dollar wines? That's so cheap!
  - Running trail: The arb. Hands down.
  - Refreshing drink: Strawberry Lemonade freeze at Sweetwaters. I discovered this last summer while Vicki and I were exploring Ann Arbor, and love this refreshing freeze.
  - Thing to do: Top of the Park. If only I had a bf, it would be so romantic... haha. or the farmer's market on Wed/Sat.
  - Grocery Store:Meijer on Carpenter. Better produce, by far.
  - Asian Grocery Store: Hua Xing , off of Washtenaw. This is such a LARGE Chinese store, and there's even fresh fish, along with so many vegetables, seasonings, etcera.
  - Organic Grocery Store: Trader Joe's. By far the cheapest, and it's GOOD.
  - Chinese restaurant: Great Lakes. Only for dinner though. Dim sum is horrible in Ann Arbor.
  - Boutique: AdornMe on top of Bead Gallery. Cute cute clothes.
  - Reading spot: On the diag. I've always loved sitting out there.
  - Italian Restaurant: Mediterraneos. Went there for my birthday this year with my bro, and it was SO good.
  - Computing Lab: The 24 hour computing lab underneath Taubman Medical library. Not only can I hide out there, but everyone there is studying LONGER than me (and I stay a minimum of 4-5 hours).
  - Place to study: Grad reference room. Admist a search all over campus, I find my best grades are produced from studying here.
  - Cheapest Gas: Gas station next to Kroger's on Carpenter. Always the cheapest, by far.
  
  
  
  I'm sure there's more to this list.. I'm just getting tired.
