TABLE OF CONTENTS
Every college town is special, but even a passing non-resident will concede that Ann Arbor is a little different than your average university hub. Bestowed with the kind of fervent affection reserved for cities more coastal, or at least with a population above 100,000, Ann Arbor proves that while students can populate a town, its residents make it. Featuring old mainstays, new additions and everything in between, this year’s “Best-Of” serves not just as a handy guidebook, but also a record of where Ann Arborites are eating, drinking and hanging out in 2015. - Catherine Sulpizio, Adam Theisen, Jamie Bircoll and Kathleen Davis, Senior Arts Editors

Blank Slate Creamery The first thing you notice upon entering Blank Slate Creamery is the smell. It’s like you’re stepping inside a waffle cone, bathing your senses in the sweet vanilla and waves of heavy cream. Then you notice the actual ice cream — all-natural, made from scratch right at their facilities and featuring exotic flavors like Blueberry Pancake and Bananas Foster. Those were the two I picked, but Blank Slate is the kind of place where you can order anything and count on loving it. Owner Janice Sigler and her family taste-test every flavor before it goes into the store’s display cases (and your waffle cone). The second thing you notice about Blank Slate is the friendly atmosphere — it’s the kind of place where the owner might
stand by the tables and chat with patrons. Customers are encouraged to write on the shop’s “blank slate” chalkboard tables and to draw or write while enjoying their ice cream. The place is frequently busy, but never feels overpacked or hectic; its West Liberty location is large enough to hold the ice cream’s processing machinery and seat a few dozen guests. Blank Slate is beginning its second year of operation with new equipment and a few upcoming flavors (look for Chocolate Cherry Bourbon), but devoted patrons can expect some things to stay the same. The unparalleled fresh, wholesome ice cream and enthusiastic environment are here to stay. -CHLOE GILKE

Best Late Night Food Fleetwood Diner LUNA ANNA ARCHEY/Daily
I’ve been to Fleetwood twice. The first time I went was my first morning ever in Ann Arbor. I was visiting my friend and we drank a little too much whiskey the night before. The second time was my 19th birth-

be. It’s tiny, and you’re going to be scolded if you try to rearrange the tables — it’s already a fire hazard. If you’ve been there you know exactly what I mean, and if you haven’t been it’s an Ann Arbor-must.
Whether it’s late night and you’re feeling good or it’s late-morning/midafternoon and you’re not feeling so good, Fleetwood is where you need to be. -CHRISTIAN KENNEDY

Best Pizza Pizza House PAUL SHERMAN/Daily
At the end of a night complete with the shenanigans of Rick’s, Skeeps or ‘Tina Tuesday, your stomach is sure to growl. What could be better to fill that empty, occasionally queasy void then some ooey-gooey carbs? That’s right folks, the epitome of college food, pizza. And here
in Ann Arbor, we are lucky to have pizza joints spreading from South U all the way to Main Street. However, when you’re craving some cheesy, bready goodness, most don’t look any farther than Pizza House. An overall favorite, the cheesy bread, dipped in mari-
nara, ranch or chipati sauce, is sure to please. Add some feta to that favorite, and we have ourselves another winner in Pizza House’s very own Feta Bread. “There’s no better way to spend $11,” said LSA freshman Kendra Repo on the delicacy. While at Pizza House, though, make sure
to try the variety of pies offered, from bacon cheddar cheeseburger to Chicago style. No matter what you’re craving or what time of day (or night … or morning …) there is something to please everyone’s palate. —KATIE CONKLIN
Best Ice Cream Washtenaw Dairy JAMES COLLER/Daily REBECCA KERPHART/DAILY
On a nice day, crowds of people holding ice cream cones can be seen wrapping around the corner of Ashley and Madison. Washtenaw Dairy, which has sat in the heart of the Old West Side for more than 78 years, is one of the best-loved ice cream destinations in Ann Arbor. Unlike many other ice cream parlors in the
city, Washtenaw Dairy has fair prices and very generous portions. The single scoop is essentially a double, and you will never think twice about asking for a waffle cone because you will get your money’s worth every time. As a local business with loyal customers, Washtenaw Dairy is a must-visit for anyone looking
to branch out from campus or to spend less than $5 for ice cream. Instead of fussing around with countless froyo toppings or funky Greek yogurt inspired flavors, Washtenaw Dairy keeps things classic: The handdipped Stroh’s flavors like mint chocolate chip or Moose Tracks never get old, and they also do
shakes, malts and sundaes. But they aren’t just an ice cream shop! Washtenaw Dairy also has famously delicious homemade doughnuts, dry ice and a bunch of dairy products like fresh milk, cream, eggs, butter and cheese. —HANNAH BATES

Best Korean Food Tomukun Korean BBQ PAUL SHERMAN/Daily
Good thing I made a reservation to go to Tomukun Korean Barbeque on a Saturday night, because the line was out the door. To me, a long line is an indicator of good food, so I was instantly excited for my first experience trying Korean barbeque. Located on East Liberty St., Tomukun offers tasty and authentic Korean cuisine, with a setting perfect for date nights or outings with friends. I went
with a group of six and we were seated around a table with a mini grill in the center of it. Since I was in a big group, we ordered the BBQ combo platter for $90 (yikes), but you definitely receive enough food for your money, and splitting it six ways isn’t so bad. The BBQ combo includes a variety of meats including spicy pork, short ribs, marinated ribeye, sirloin, beef brisket
and pork belly, and comes with a side salad, a variety of dipping sauces and rice. Like I said, lots of food. Here’s the catch: they give you all the meat uncooked. The waiter fires up the grill in the middle of the table and you get to cook the meat yourself. You’re probably thinking, $90 and they don’t even cook it?! But it’s all part of the experience, and I had a blast pretending I was on Top Chef
with my friends. The real chefs prepare and serve the uncooked meats with different spices and marinades, all ready for you to put on the grill. Just make sure you cook it all the way! Tomukun provides a fun, lively, slightly upscale atmosphere, making the entire experience a great night out with friends. —MARINA NAZARIO
Best Mexican Food Isalita
Isalita was the restaurant Ann Arbor didn’t know it needed. When Mani’s next-door neighbor emerged on East Liberty’s restaurant scene in 2013, the city already had a preponderance of Mexican eateries — countless burrito joints for the late-night drunkards, Qdoba and Chipotle for a quick bite on a collegiate budget, Prickly Pear when you venture out of central campus’s bubble and Aventura when the parents are pay-
ing. Though for students, Isalita ultimately falls into the latter category, the authentic Mexican eats are more than splurge-worthy. What sets Isalita apart from its comestible counterparts is its upscale flair without pretentiousness. There’s no pretense of modernizing the usual fare of a classic cantina, the expected dishes are just dressed up a little bit. As far as eating with the eyes goes, Isalita delivers. I’ve never been so
DAVID SONG/Daily
enamored by the presentation of my quesadilla and the modern art that was my nachos, but alas, there’s a first time for everything. In retrospect of my two visits, Isalita has yet to disappoint. Upon seating, customers are encouraged to order various tapas for the table, which can be shared with ease on the lazy susans. I urge you to precede your meal with the freshest of guacamoles and the salsa trio, but I
advise you to not make my two-peat mistake of filling up on the irresistible chips and dip before the true fiesta. If you find yourself with an appetite after appetizers, the inventive potato poblano quesadilla is a favorite, along with the delicious, simple chicken tinga tacos. Seeing as it is consistently crowded, the young Isalita has surely secured a spot in the hearts of Ann Arborites. —CAROLINE FILIPS

Best Chinese Food Lucky Kitchen AMANDA ALLEN/Daily
Finding a Chinese place that’s the perfect mix of good and greasy and cheap and convenient is a challenge in a city like Ann Arbor, where the options can seem endless. You could spend your time, money and sanity trying every restaurant within walking distance from campus, or you could just listen to us and head straight
12
to Lucky Kitchen, whose perfectly guilty Americanized Chinese fills the hole in your heart that no other food can even attempt to patch. With locations on both Central and North Campus, Lucky Kitchen is the perfect restaurant to dine in, take out or have delivered at the end of a long night of either studying (or drinking), and
The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com
both locations are open most nights until 10 or 10:30 p.m. But, what sets Lucky Kitchen apart from the rows of restaurants you might pass walking up and down the South U strip is its ability to cater to student’s dietary needs, cutting out unhealthy sodium and fat by using quality ingredients without raking up the cost. They also offer a
variety of deals and coupons to students for simply liking their Facebook page or signing up for emails. So save yourself, your stomach and your wallet from the search for the perfect go-to Chinese, knowing that Lucky Kitchen is everything you’ve been looking for and more. -LAUREN WOOD

Best Main St. Area Bar Mash RITA MORRIS/Daily
Even if you don’t like whiskey, you’ll like Mash. The whiskey bar is located on Washington St. between 4th and 5th, underneath the Blue Tractor restaurant. Its basement atmosphere is what makes Mash so special. The bar is dim, but not dark; the wood detailing gives it a rustic feel and the walls are covered in chalkboard paint. What’s more fun
than drawing on walls? Especially when you’re drunk, not much. The double-room setup of Mash makes it the perfect bar for almost anyone: You can sit at a table talking to friends, you can listen to the live bands they have almost every night or you can stay by the bar and the standing tables, dancing or just lollygagging in general merriment. The drinks themselves are expert-
ly crafted. Of course, the whiskey drinks taste like whiskey, but I repeat, even if you don’t like whiskey, you’ll like Mash. Maybe it’s the for-everyone atmosphere, but with each sip, whatever you’re drinking seems to become slightly more delicious, even if you weren’t sure about it at first. For something different, the Mitten, a beer cocktail made with bourbon and cherry juice, is a deli-
cious and interesting drink, and basically all of Mash’s cocktails are something unique, such as the Cool Cucumber, made from riesling, citrus vodka and cucumber puree. Honestly, the chalkboard walls alone make Mash worth the trip, and the live music and delectable drinks are just the cherry (juice) on top. -DANIELLE RAYKHINSHTEYN

Best Party Store Campus Corner DELANEY RYAN/ Daily
In need of snacks, drinks, household necessities, baking ingredients or, of course, booze — there’s no better spot than Campus Corner. Located at State and Packard, the all-in-one convenience store serves all the needs of its primary clientele: college students. Walk in on any
Thursday, Friday or Saturday and you’re sure to find several groups of soon-to-be-pregamers picking their poison for the night — as a resident of one of the apartments above Campus Corner, I can promise this. (I’ve learned to maintain my dignity while standing in line wearing pajamas to buy
chocolate chips among people that have evening plans beyond baking.) It takes only a few key elements to run a smooth operation as a party store: a good location; a wide variety of sweet, salty, savory snacks and various beverages to quench any thirst; quick
service and fair prices. Few establishments put together such a profitable combination. Campus Corner has done so, and on top of that provide a surprisingly large selection of miscellaneous items that no other store has for you at 2 a.m. Long live Campus Corner. —CONRAD FOREMAN
Best Outdoor Apparel and Clothing Store Bivouac
Walking into Bivouac, the mainstay of State Street since the ’70s, the store appears to have an identity crisis, albeit a highly shoppable one. To the left is a homier version of REI, its thin-planked wooden f loors creaking under the Timberlands of Ann Arbor’s rugged outdoorsmen and women. Trotting between racks of
Canada Goose vests and BPAfree water bottles is the occasional dog amicably tailing his owner before making a stop at the water bowl. But to the right is a boutique that wouldn’t be out of place in Los Angeles. Less for the trail and more for Main Street, the impressive second f loor denim loft features the req-

uisite skinny in all its washes and brands, but also jeans of the waxed, boyfriend and zippered variety. In the summer, lacy Alice + Olivia blouses and Hudson jorts line the shelves, while during winter the store becomes an enclave of LBDs with chic leather paneling and military-inspired anoraks for the urban-trekking mondaine.
A well-curated jewelry selection and a mélange of pastel bralettes — just asking to peek out of the ultra-comfy, slouchy Splendid tanks that the store stocks — ensure it’s hard to leave without a “little something” (even if it comes with a less-than little price tag). —CATHERINE SULPIZIO

Best Date Spot The Arb SAM MOUSIGIAN/Daily
No matter the season, a serene walk through the Nichols Arboretum is the perfect collegiate escape for two. With the Huron river swirling through the differing terrains of the land, a foray into nature will evoke feelings of quixotic romance. Michigan’s drastic weather throughout the year
grants different courtship opportunities. In fall, a brisk walk through the changing leaves can stir amorous sentiment, and in winter, the large clearings in the Arb are perfect for snowball fights and sledding. When spring finally comes, the Fairy Houses and blooming peony gardens provide an impeccable
backdrop for a picnic. While there is a feeling of tranquil solitude, the creatures of the Arb, including the deer frolicking through the trees and the trademark obese Ann Arbor squirrels, are a source of entertainment and wonder if first date conversation runs dry. The Nichols Arboretum has been a constant presence in
Ann Arbor since 1907, giving it the name “Tree Town.” The dedication to the natural world of Michigan creates a beautiful opportunity to leave the baggage and stress of only a few feet away to embrace the changing landscape, and maybe another person. -REBECCA LERNER

Best Professor Ralph Williams LUNA ANNA ARCHEY/Daily
When I told my Uncle Morley that I was taking the Bible as Literature with Ralph Williams this semester, Morley’s eyes lit up and he said, “Wonderful to see you all! The wind is so very much up!,” quoting a Williams catchphrase. Anyone who has listened to one of Williams’s lectures will agree that he is a performer. In fact, Williams said that in another life he would have joined the theatre. Some might consider his lecture
style “eccentric,” in the pejorative sense of the word, or worse “masturbatory.” These killjoys probably prefer that academia be black-andwhite and boring. Readers of the Daily evidently find his style endearing, or else they find him and his teaching so extraordinary that they forgive him for his occasional shouts, dance moves, catchphrases, and Williams-isms (a Williams-ism is something like a truism coined by
Williams – e.g., “We live within the parameters of the stories that we tell ourselves”). Williams began teaching English literature at the University in 1970. He retired in 2009 due to, among other things, “near exhaustion” – he claims to have gone about 15 years without sabbatical – but he returned by popular demand in 2011. Today, Williams is 73 years old, has won the Golden Apple Lifetime Achievement Award, and says he still feels
the same youthful vigor in mind and body as he did when he was 20. Though he confesses that his mirror doesn’t always reflect this vigor, his teaching certainly does. Thanks for turning on your afterburners, Mr. Williams. What a privilege for us students that you returned from retirement. On behalf of the readers of the Daily who voted you Professor of the Year, I wish you many thanks. —ZAK WITUS
Best Place to Study The Stacks The single greatest thing about the stacks in Hatcher is that they’ve somehow instituted an unspoken system of rules among students.

Some of you who haven’t studied in the stacks are prob-

ly unoccupied with any kind of homework or the kid who blasts his Bruno Mars playlist through the speakers of his laptop (I’m looking at you, UGLi), then the stacks are the place for you. If being surrounded by row after row of dusty old books makes you feel even a little bit smarter, then the stacks are
the place for you. If you like carpet the color of indistinct burrito ingredients (particularly on the sixth f loor), then the stacks are the place for you. Grab your books, find a space and, for the love of God, don’t say a word. —BRIAN BURLAGE

Best Sandwich Zingerman’s ALLISON FARRAND/Daily
Chicago has the Bean. Gotham has its skyline. Portland has its skyline of pubic beards. And, for whatever reason — maybe because most never admit food is their everything — Ann Arbor’s most synonymous landmark is not Angell’s steps or the Bell Tower, but Zingerman’s Delicatessen. With branding on-par with Google and sandwiches that beg to be ogled at, this Detroit St. jewel feels less a restaurant
than the dual-townhouse of your wacky, kitchen-bound auntie. The food is doubtless on-point, but it’s the smiley staff, the bread-oil samples, the almostcluttered claustrophobia of the place, the Aztec-meets-Adult Swim menu characters, and the peerless sentiment of better that keeps the word-of-mouth engine revving. For 33 years, Zingerman’s has had customers, rookies and
returners alike, waffling over what to order. It always starts with your preferred meat(s), as if that’s supposed to, A) Be a mindless decision and B) Get any closer to choosing one of hundreds. And even if you’re dragged there by a Zingermite, the panoply of salads, breakfast plates, pastries and caffeinated drinks will keep your head spinning until a staffer tells you to stop, cool it and try some espresso-doused gelato.
We seniors depart for bigger things or smaller basements in mere weeks, and when grownups in the real world ask about our stay in Ann Arbor, we’ll have some ammo: the bad posture over a screen, the multi-tabbing, the late nights, the one good professor, how fast it all went and, never missing a beat, Zingerman’s. The delicatessen that justifies not truncating the word to “deli.” —ANDREW MCCLURE
Best Club Blind Pig LUNA ANNA ARCHEY/Daily
The Blind Pig is the place to be if you are looking for live music that rocks. This club, with its peculiar name and recognizable blue sign, boasts a serious history of talent. The list of artists that have played there include names like Macklemore, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., Darren Criss, Nice Peter (of YouTube fame) and Nirvana. Yep, Nirvana played there back
in 1990. The Blind Pig has a propensity for discovering the next big thing. Frequenting this venue just may give you the opportunity to finally get to say “I say them in concert before they were cool.” Though the venue tends to favor indie-rock performances, most genres feature there, from electronic to folk to hip hop to rap and more. Part of the charm of
20 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com
The Blind Pig comes from its love of local music. Many musical acts are from the Ann Arbor or larger Southern Michigan area. Additionally, many groups have made their first-ever public appearance on The Blind Pig’s stage. I dare you to attend their annual rap tribute “Folk the Police,” featuring mostly local artists, and not discover your latest musical obsession.
With mirrored walls, a kicking light show, an insane sound system and a popcorn machine to boot, The Blind Pig brings the party. And while you’re rocking out, spend some time exploring the pictures, stickers, articles and other memorabilia that line the walls — you might just see the name of your favorite band. —KIM BATCHELOR

Must Do Before Graduation
Break Into The Big House Warm April nights are a rarity in Michigan. Football season is over, the school year is drawing to a close – a four month hiatus from this campus looms ahead, or maybe graduation does too. There is no experience quite like football Saturdays, but there is also no sensation akin to breaking into the Big House. The stadium is the largest in the western hemisphere, and the third largest in the entire world – the most iconic symbol of this university. During the season, the place is filled with over 100,000 of your closest kin, bound by a love for Michigan and a shared energy of eternity. To see the same place under only the moonlight, stuck by a silent vastness – that is a moment truly worthy of being called “breathtaking.” Though trespassing is illegal and many students have been arrested in the past, the risk and rebellion are enticing. There’s an adrenaline
rush to climbing the gates, seeing the sprawl of Ann Arbor at the top and realizing you must get down. When you finally enter, the stark emptiness, the drop-dead stillness – the stadium screams a silent grandeur. The spring wind flies in your face as you sprint the 100 yards solo down the field. It makes you feel infinite. There is no better way to remind yourself of your love for this school than laying with your best friends on the 50-yard line under the dome of stars, reminiscing on the amazing memories you’ve made together. Even these words here can never adequately sum up the sensation of breaking into the Big House. The act is a milestone of your years at Michigan. This is your chance to take a personal look at the stadium before it’s flooded with a sea of caps and gowns on graduation day. -KAREN HUA
