M
uch like their western
neighbors of Northville
and Novi, Farmington and
Farmington Hills are proud foils to
one another.
For example, in the smaller, historic
cities of Farmington and Northville,
the pace is a little less hurried corn-
pared to that of their bolder, brasher
offspring of Farmington Hills and
Novi, respectively.
In Farmington, like Northville,
delightfully restored, clapboard-
sided homes line tidy, tree-shaded
streets leading to a charmingly quaint
downtown of specialty shops and
green spaces, while bucolic-named
subdivisions of newly constructed
brick manses reshape the landscape in
Farmington Hills and Novi.
And that a friendly rivalry exists
between old town and new makes
exploring both cities, in this case
Farmington and Farmington Hills, a
worthy endeavor any day of the week.

No matter your craving or budget,
the restaurateurs in Farmington and
Farmington Hills aim to please both
palate and wallet. And this despite the
proliferation of chain restaurants mul-
tiplying at quite a clip.
At the low end of the gastronomic
and economic restaurant food chain,
if you will, is the charmingly retro
Green's Burgers (24155 Orchard
Lake, 248-474-7980), serving grilled-
to-perfection sliders. Celebrating its
golden anniversary this year, it stands
in stark contrast to the award-win-
ning, high-styled, sublime Tribute
(31425 W. 12 Mile, 248-848-9393),
where the only sliding going on is that
of the well-heeled easing into comfy
chairs in the dramatic dining room.
A standout among the myriad of
Asian, specifically Chinese, restaurants
is the sophisticated Hung Hua (27925
Orchard Lake, 248-489-2280).
If it's comfort food you crave, the
aptly named and just opened Grilled
Cheese and Tomato Soup (32407
Northwestern Hwy, 248-626-6767),
where the namesake dishes, done up
in a variety of guises, share menu
space with such all-time favorites as
macaroni and cheese, and meatloaf, is
a must.
Likewise, a region-wide favorite,
Buddy's Pizza (31646 Northwestern
Hwy., 248-855-4600), serves its classic
square pies without fuss or fancy top-
pings. Satisfyingly good pretty much
sums up a meal here.
More comfort food, and a comfort-
able, convivial setting, is proffered
at John Cowley & Sons Pub and
Coolhenry Restaurant (33338 Grand
River, 248-474-5941). Coolhenry, by
the way, is the name of the Cowley
ancestral home in Ireland.
While most cities boast ethnic
enclaves like a Chinatown or Little
Italy, Orchard Lake Road, especially
south of 13 Mile, has the beginnings
of what could be dubbed Little India,
with its saffron-scented restaurants
