Ann Arbor, MI for First-Timers

If this is your first day in Ann Arbor, stay between Kerrytown and Main Street. Almost everything worth a first visit is inside that rectangle.

## Kerrytown first The [Ann Arbor Farmers Market](/places/ann-arbor-farmers-market) at 315 Detroit St is the best single introduction to the city. [Zingerman's Delicatessen](/places/zingerman-s-delicatessen) at 422 Detroit St is the address most visitors already know, with [Zingerman's Next Door Café](/places/zingerman-s-next-door-cafe) at 418 Detroit St beside it and [Monahan's Seafood](/places/monahan-s-seafood) at 407 N 5th Ave inside the Kerrytown building.

## Walk into downtown [TeaHaus](/places/teahaus) at 204 N 4th Ave and [Le Bon Macaron](/places/le-bon-macaron) at 209 S 4th Ave are on the way south. On Liberty Street, [Spencer](/places/spencer) at 113 E Liberty St and [Mani Osteria and Bar](/places/mani-osteria-and-bar) at 341 E Liberty St are the two easiest lunch decisions.

## State Street and the theater [Michigan Theater](/places/michigan-theater) at 603 E Liberty St is the landmark at this end of downtown, and [Comet Coffee](/places/comet-coffee) at 16 Nickels Arcade is the stop to make while you're nearby. [Slurping Turtle](/places/slurping-turtle) at 608 E Liberty St is across from the theater.

## See the river [Argo Nature Area](/places/argo-nature-area) off Longshore Drive is the closest stretch of the Huron River to downtown — a short drive or a long walk north. [Bird Hills Nature Area](/places/bird-hills-nature-area) at 1850 Newport Rd is the bigger climb if you have the afternoon.
