Su inmer

pleasures

More than opening day

at Tiger Stadium, outdoor

dining signals spring's true

arrival.

The few months between

April showers and the frost

of autumn can seem so

carefree, especially when doors

and walls don't frame the

delight of dining.

Whether you're grabbing

a quick nosh or a romantic

dinner for two, the

Detroit area has a variety

of outdoor eateries

to suit your mood.

Here are just a few.

DEBORAH COHEN SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

Dining Al Fresco

America's Pizza Cafe: 129
So. Main, Royal Oak; (810)
544-1001. The distinct flavor of
pizza is created by the open
hearth wood-fired oven. For a
different kind of pizza, try the
calzone with pizza fillings or the
"senza formaggio," the no-cheese
pizza. The dessert pizza is a
croissant crust and raspberry
sauce covered with shredded
cheesecake, fresh fruit and driz-
zled chocolate.

American Bulk Food:

6698 Orchard Lake Road,
West Bloomfield Township;
810-737-1610.
A favorite for fat-free and sug-
ar-free muffins (they have cap-
puccino, banana oat bran, orange,
chocolate walnut and more); Slim-
mery frozen treats from French
vanilla to double mocha almond
fudge; individual-size Spa pizzas
to order (in 7 minutes or less); or
any quantity of healthy or sinful
bulk snacks. From licorice to
hard candies, coffee beans to jel-
ly beans, dried fruits to bulk

grains and seasonings, this place
has it all and most of it is kosher.
Anita's Kitchen: 31005 Or-
chard Lake Road, Farming-
ton Hills; 810-855-4150.
Middle Eastern fare at rea-
sonable prices, Anita's outdoor
patio is screened with plants and
latticework. You'd never know
you were smack-dab in the mid-
dle of bargain-shopper heaven.
Sample favorites like falafel,
grape leaves, hummus with
hashweh (sauteed lamb, pine
nuts and onions), or the tab-

bouleh their customers made me
promise to write about. The lentil
lemon soup, yogurt-cucumber
salad, kebobs and gyros are out-
standing as well. Anita's also
has burgers, omelettes and pat-
ty melts for the cultural-cuisine
impaired.

B.C.'s/Franklin St. Brew-
ing Company: 1560 Franklin,
Detroit; 313-568-0390.
An inventive menu of pastas,
salads and more. Sip B.C.'s
Frankenmuth beers on a sunny

afternoon or a sultry summer
night. Start with their crab
cakes, calamari, roasted garlic
or the Ploughman's platter with
a variety of sausages. The in-
dividual pizzas, blackened
seafood and chicken tortellini
with pepper sauce are just a few
customer favorites. In the sum-
mer, the folks at B.C.'s grill their
fish, ribs and other barbecue-
ables outside. Round out your
evening with a concert at Chene
Park just down the road.
