Visit Ann Arbor during restaurant week to see why Ann Arbor was named both a "Top Food Town To Visit" by Midwest Living magazine and one of "America's Foodiest Small Towns" by Bon Appetit magazine in 2009.

"Ann Arbor's fantastic downtown dining scene is just one of the many reasons to visit the Ann Arbor Area," said Ann Arbor Area Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Mary Kerr. "We are delighted that the Main Street Area Association has chosen to highlight downtown dining by sponsoring Ann Arbor Restaurant Week."

After dining in downtown Ann Arbor, check out the many independent shops, galleries, and performance venues nearby. With so much to do and see, it's no surprise downtown Ann Arbor's South Main Street was named one of the "Ten Great Streets for 2009" by the American Planning Association.
