A Perfect Saturday in Ann Arbor, MI
Updated September 24, 2026
A Saturday in Ann Arbor works best on foot, with Kerrytown and Main Street doing most of the heavy lifting.
## Morning Start at the [Ann Arbor Farmers Market](/places/ann-arbor-farmers-market) at 315 Detroit St. Two doors down, [Zingerman's Delicatessen](/places/zingerman-s-delicatessen) at 422 Detroit St and [Zingerman's Next Door Café](/places/zingerman-s-next-door-cafe) at 418 Detroit St cover breakfast and coffee without moving the car. If you want fish for later in the week, [Monahan's Seafood](/places/monahan-s-seafood) is inside the Kerrytown building at 407 N 5th Ave.
## Midday Walk south into downtown. [TeaHaus](/places/teahaus) at 204 N 4th Ave and [Le Bon Macaron](/places/le-bon-macaron) at 209 S 4th Ave are a block apart, which makes a short, easy stop between errands. For lunch, [Mani Osteria and Bar](/places/mani-osteria-and-bar) at 341 E Liberty St or [Spencer](/places/spencer) at 113 E Liberty St keep you on the Liberty Street stretch.
## Afternoon Trade the sidewalks for the river. [Argo Nature Area](/places/argo-nature-area) off Longshore Drive is the closest large green space to downtown, and [Bird Hills Nature Area](/places/bird-hills-nature-area) at 1850 Newport Rd is the hillier option a few minutes north. If the weather turns, [Comet Coffee](/places/comet-coffee) at 16 Nickels Arcade sits in a covered arcade off State Street.
## Evening Main Street is the shortest path from dinner to music. [The Ravens Club](/places/the-ravens-club) at 207 S Main St and [Vinology Restaurant & Event Space](/places/vinology-restaurant-event-space) at 110 S Main St are within a block of [The Ark](/places/the-ark) at 316 S Main St and [Blue LLama Jazz Club and Restaurant](/places/blue-llama-jazz-club-and-restaurant) at 314 S Main St. Check the [events calendar](/events) before you commit to a time.
## Last call [Nightcap](/places/nightcap) at 220 S Main St is the obvious close, and [The Last Word](/places/the-last-word) at 301 W Huron St is a five-minute walk west if Main Street is full. For the full ranked picks, see our [best-of guides](/best).
