5 Best Restaurants in Ann Arbor, Michigan You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Ann Arbor, Michigan — a city where the red-brick streets pulse with the footsteps of students and professors, where the Huron River winds through neighborhoods stitched with memory and hope, where murals bloom on alley walls and the scent of coffee, curry, and barbecue drifts through the air. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Victorian homes with wraparound porches, glassy new towers, and the gentle sprawl of parks and gardens. Ann Arbor is a crossroads — of old-timers and new arrivals, of artists, engineers, and dreamers, of families who picnic on the Diag and musicians who busk beneath the sycamores.

Cat House Lounge will reopen under new management in Howell

The Cat House Lounge is getting another chance in downtown Howell, after closing at the end of Melon Fest in August. The business will reopen under the same ownership, but new management, at 4 p.m. Nov. 18. According to a release, the cocktail bar will have an updated drink menu and small plate offerings, in addition to staff members with "deep roots" in Livingston County. In September, owner Clark Gill said the business was closing because sales "never really saw the volume" necessary to be sustainable. Gill also owns the nearby Aberrant Ales at 219 W. Grand River Ave. “We closed in the late summer to refocus the concept,” Gill wrote in the release. “While we saw success in some areas, we saw several areas of improvement that needed to change in order to deliver the quality product and service we strive for." Julia Blair will serve as the businesses' bartender and mixologist. She'll be joined by a team of bartenders who specialize in craft cocktail curation and have local connections. “I was a fan of The Cathouse Lounge," Blair wrote in the release. "After (it closed), I saw an opportunity. I had a vision for the space and the

Shibam Coffee: a glimpse into Yemeni culture

A new cafe has just opened up in the heart of Ann Arbor. However, it seems this cafe, located downtown, is much different than others. Serving things such as traditional Yemeni coffee and tea, alongside modern cafe favorites, such as lattes, cappuccinos, and espressos, Shibam Cafe is much more unique and interesting than traditional cafes. On their menu, it shows that some of their specialty drinks include their Adeni tea, a spiced milk tea, and Qishr, which is a traditional drink made with coffee husks and spices. These special drinks introduce their customers to Yemeni culture and traditions that many may not have known.

Between Detroit And Lansing Is A Michigan Lake With Boating, Fishing, A Beach, And Camping

It's easy enough to access lake fun in Michigan considering that it shares over 3,000 miles of shoreline with the Great Lakes. But if you're venturing out from Detroit (or from Lansing, for that matter), Portage Lake also provides a beautiful escape not more than an hour away. It's part of a chain of lakes and has many hidden waterways. It's also a year-round destination: When it freezes over in winter, you can ice fish, snowmobile, and skate.
