Looking for innovative experiences in Ann Arbor.
I'm thinking about taking our creative team to Ann Arbor for a couple-day retreat. While we're there, I would like to visit innovative restaurants, shops, architecture, events -- whatever. Also looking for a great place to stay -- preferably a small hotel or B&B.
We would be in town in April.

Great time to be in AA!!
Zingerman's deli is a must-do for an innovative meal... it's expensive ($12 sandwiches are common) but their approach is on customer service and they only buy the best of whatever it is they carry! Lunchonnette style meal would be BeBimBob at Steve's Lunch (a Korean dish).
Fun thing to do, depending upon the group, is a visit to the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum. It's really designed for kids but we loved going there as it's just a cool place to learn how things work.
Architecture is everywhere, but of special note is the Law Quad (and an interesting side note, an aerial view of the dental building resembles a molar).
Stay on campus if budget allows, which makes your choices: Bell Tower (small and european feel), Michigan League (unknown to most outsiders, a campus run "rooms for rent"), and Campus Inn (would be a Sheraton/Marriott if there was a chain named attached to it).
All of the above have website i'm sure you can find w/ a Google Search (except for Steve's Lunch)
Feel free to ask any add'l questions.
BTW, a walk thru "The Arb" is a cool thing to do too as a group if the weather is nice.

There is place I have had on my list for a long time, but haven't had a chance to go yet. It is called Vitosha Guest House in the center of Ann Arbor. Here is the website: http://www.vitosha.org/cultural_center.htm

There is a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Ann Arbor off of Geddes Ave.From the campus, you go past the arboretum and take a left at( I think ) Appleway.( I appologize for the fuzzy directions, but we have not lived in Ann Arbor for 30 years.)
