Winter Differently in Ann Arbor

What's the best part of winter in A2? Everything!

It’s winter in Ann Arbor, and I have a hunch. If you come here to shop, you’ll stay here for brunch. And if hiking or biking are much more your speed, we have the trail for everyone’s needs. We do things our way only all of the time. Just be yourself; you’ll fit in just fine. But there’s more to Ann Arbor, if only you knew. Seven downtowns to find – that’s five more than two!
