Snack: Terry Bakery, a longtime favorite in downtown Ypsilanti, offers a mouthwatering array of yummy treats, including cinnamon rolls, cookies, muffins, donuts, crumb cakes and more. The bakery is the oldest in continuous operation in Washtenaw County (it started in 1865) and is housed in building dating back to 1835. 119 West Michigan Avenue, Ypsilanti, 734-482-9511
Meal: The Sidetrack, a comfortable neighborhood pub in a restored turn-of-the-century building next to the railroad track in Depot Town, serves some of the best burgers in the area, homemade soups, and a great selection of beers-including local favorite Frog Island Beer. A few doors away is Cady's Grill, where former President Bill Clinton (the subject of many journalists and writers) ate during one of his many visits to southeastern Michigan. The actual chair he sat in is marked with a plaque and gets moved daily so that everyone can have a chance for a Presidential seat.

Shop! Historic Depot Town, a quaint 19th century commercial district along East Cross Street, features several antique and collectible stores, some popular restaurants and bars, and on Saturday, the Ypsilanti Farmers Market.
Sleep: For something different, try the Parish House Inn B&B, in an elegant 1893 Victorian Queen Anne house in Ypsilanti's Historic District. Originally the parsonage for the First Congregational Church on North Adams Street, the house was moved to its present location overlooking the Huron River and was totally restored in 1987. Both the public rooms and the nine guest rooms feature Victorian flavor and color, with era-styled wallpaper and period antique furnishings. Wonderful breakfasts prepared by owner Chris Mason and treats like the "bottomless" cookie jar make your stay even more special. 103 South Huron Street, Ypsilanti, 734-480-4800
