Michigan is certainly no tiny place — and as much as we’d like to, most of us will never have the chance to visit each and every charming little spot throughout the Great Lakes State. But no matter how long you’ve been in Michigan, there’s one oft-overlooked neighborhood that’s well worth a visit, and you’ll wonder why it took you so long to explore.
Ypsilanti is often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor, Ann Arbor.
Depot Town is a fun-filled section of Yspilanti that’s overflowing with businesses, eateries, bars, and all sorts of fascinating special events throughout the year.
First established in the early 19th century, there’s plenty of history here — in fact, Depot Town was named for the Ypsilanti Train Depot, which opened in 1838.
So, what will you find during your journey to Depot Town? Start off the adventure with a bite to eat. MAIZ Mexican Cantina is a popular spot in town to indulge in some spicy, delicious cuisine.
In the mood for a little shopping? You’ll find it here. From antique stores to gift shops and art galleries, there’s something here to suit every need.
Of course, there’s always time for a coffee break. Cultivate Coffee And Tap House is a popular spot, serving up both coffee and beer in a beautiful space.
Are you a history buff? You’re in luck! Stop in at the Ypsilanti Historical Museum or Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Collection for a step back in time.
