If you're tired of burnt toast,
muddy coffee, and flaccid ham-
burgers, turn your back on your
apartment or dorm and head
straight to the wonderful world
of Ann Arbor dining.
Don't expect too much in the
line of gourmet delights, how-
ever. You'll soon discover that
the burnt toast is replaced by
greasy pizza and the quaddie
food lines, by poor service and
high prices.
But face It - sometime dur-
jug the next four years, you will
inevitably be forced to sample
some of the sundry college-town
specials.
In order to help you and your
checkbook live through it, here
is a guide to some of the eating
establishments serving the Uni-
versity community.
acon, eogg,
and O.J.
CAMPUS GRILL, near State
and Packard, is a good cheap
place to get a breakfast (and
other meals, too). A homey at-
mosphere is provided by a Greek
husband/wife duo who yell at
each other a lot while they pre-
pare and serve the food.
PAPPAS, on Liberty St. has a $1
breakfast special that is really
far-out, as well as great coney-
island hot dogs. It is a safe
place, too, because it is a favorite
among Ann Arbor policemen.
BREAKFAST LOYIS, as one
junior asserts, is "quite simply
the greatest all-round eating es-
tablishment in the United
States." He adds that he would
"not hesitate to hold a wedding
reception" in the State St. rest-
aurant, "for it seats ten com-
fortably." ANGELO'S is per-
haps the best morning spot near
the hospital, and its workers are
pros at handling the early morn-
ing blahs. Specialties of the
house include homemade bread
and waffles.
Pizza etc.
Well worth the trip out
Washtenaw Ave. is 'the VIL-
LAGE INN, which serves excel-
lent pizza and good beer (if
you're old enough) in an atmos-
phere reminiscent of a ski lodge.
The clientele, however, is made
up mnostly of beer jocks, many of
them from Ypsi.
For the greatest variety, most
tradition and most fun, stop in
at either one of PIZZA BOB'S
two restaurants, the one on
State near Packard (entitled
Pizza Loy's, but don't let that
fool you) or the one on Huron
St., which features P. Bob him-
self. You can get all sorts of
pizzas from the Hawaiian with
ham and pineapple to Pizza
Bob's Super, a lovingly baked
panorama of pizza goodies. In
addition, Pizza Bob offers great
submarines, ice cream, sodas
and the best selection of milk-
shakes in the state.
COTTAGE INN, just a hop-
step-and-a-jump f r o m The
Daily, offers the standard Ann
Arbor fare, with a couple of
Greek dishes and mediocre spe-
cialties such as the Cottage Inn
Burger to boot. The pizza is
relatively greaseless and the de-
livery service quick.
THE BROWN JUG, an old
mainstay of the South U end of
town, has slightly better pizza
and the "waitress race" as a
spectator sport, as the manage-
go downstairs and play a round
of pinball. Located on E. Wil-
liam a half block from the Diag,
Mark's is famous for its atmos-
phere and is as much of a study
hall and place to play chess a, a
restaurant.
For a quickie dinner that's
broiled before your eyes, try
BEST STEAKHOUSE on State
St. For $1.69 you get a sirloin
steak, potato, a thick slab of

MILLER'S is by far the best
ice cream place in town. They
have about thirty flavors of
whipped up "real" ice cream,
served in an old-fashioned ice
cream parlor atmosphere. The
South U parlor is a favorite,
whether you want a sundae
4rbor
LEO PING'S is the place for
Chinese food (if there is a
place) and though its fairly
high prices necessitate only
once-in-a-while trips to the
Liberty St. restaurant, the food
is worth it. The PAGODA, on
St. Main St. is about the same
as Leo Ping's, though there are
strong defenders of each place
over the other.
Coat and tf
The GANDY DANCER is
housed in an old railroad depot,
and while fairly new, is probably
the best place in town. Though
it is also the most expensive, the
food and unique service are
worth it. While you down the
beer (which only costs a quar-
ter), you can move from a su-
perb salad bar back to your ta-
ble where you can dig ipto one
of their crab and lobster buc-
kets'or an immense pot of bouil-
labase.
WEBER'S, home of the Ann
Arbor Republican party's vic-
tory celebration, offers good, but
fairly standard food at. high
prices. It's a place you can take
your parents to (or vice versa).
PRETZEL BELL recalls college
days of old with carved tables
and pictures of University sports
stars on the walls. The food is
pretty good, especially the Rus-
sian rye bread (rip off the whole
loaf when you're done), but it's
pretty crowded with old alums
on football days.
The P-Bell's off-shoot, the
VILLAGE BELL is slightly more
elegant, with carpet-lined ceil-
ings downstairs. Again, the,
bread is excellent and the food
served rather uniquely on a
plank surrounded by fluted,
mashed potatoes.
The LORD FOX serves excel-
lent fish in an old country-home
atmosphere to the tune of high
prices but well worth it.
The RUBIYAT is another of
Ann Arbor's most expensive, but
the shish-kabob and other spe-
cialties are well worth it. Don't
go in your usual bluejeans.

ment attempts to get all of Ann
Arbor in-and-out in a hurry.
Though set in a renovated
bank in Nichol's Arcade, PJ's
could use some renovation in
their menu and service. The hot
fudge sundaes are still nice af-
ter the show, but prices have
risen, the food has become more
standard and the place has lost
some of what once was its col-
legiate atmosphere.
Luncheon
When you sit bick in a little
booth at DRAKES on North U,
you can just imagine the old
razza-ma-tazz days of raccoon
coats when the 'M" Grill and
Martian Room were open. As it
is now, Drake's offers a wide
range of sandwiches and an
even wider range of teas at fair-
ly expensive prices. One of its
main drawing cards is its sup-
ply of candy - all shapes and
kinds fill up apothecary jars
which line Drake's shelves.
P U R P L E PICKLE on E.
Washington St. is a local chain
with "unchained" food and of-
fers excellent deli-type sand-
wiches and really great home-
made barley soup. CHARCOAL
HOUSE on State St. has slightly
higher prices than the pizza
places around, but is worth it'
for the good, greaseless steaks
and char-burgers. The LAMP-
LIGHTER down Liberty follows
suit- good food, sometimes
great, at slightly higher prices
with a nice atmosphere as well.
MARK'S, one of Ann Arbor's
last remaining coffee houses,
has fallen on hard times recent-
ly, but it still remains the king
of good homemade food-some
of it is organic. And after a
meal of brown rice, cabbage
soup, and tea you can always
toast, and salad. Served in cafe-
teria style, the line moves brisk-
ly so go there when you're real-
ly hungry.
lam burgIer and
fries
DORM SNACK BARS are in-
expensive and have pretty good
food. South Quad is noted for
good ice cream and lots of it.
The people at Couzens make
good hot fudge sundaes with
chocolate chip ice cream, and
Markley's snackfbar whips up
good soup and fried egg sand-
wiches. East Quad is perhaps
the most original with its
Stoned Sandwich (liverwurst).
Out Washtenaw, McDON-
ALD'S has no place to sit, but
it does have nice napkins, free
straws. BIG BOY, on the Wash-
tenaw Strip has eat-in-your car
or restaurant dining in a nice
atmosphere as far as Big Boy's
go. Back on South U, LORD
NELSON'S FISH AND CHIPS
is cheap and not too greasy for
deep-fried food. Don't let the
papist propaganda on the walls
bum you out while you're there,
and, as space is limited, plan on
taking your food home to eat.
LUCKY JIM'S on Packard St.
is slightly better with a groovier
atmosphere. DEMETRIO'S has
the blandest grease in town,
served by the most incompetent
waitresses on South U.
FRANK'S,. on MaynardI, has
honest food at reasonable prices.
The service is comparable to the
prices, and the Sunday night
specials and Thursday Greek
menu are especially worthwhile.
ORANGE JULIUS-while the
hamburgers are okay, the big
attraction at the South U
branch of the chain, is the or-
ange and pineapple julius drink
which makes a good thirst
quencher on a hot day. MR.
HAM AND MR. BEEF is an-
other chain restaurant with no
atmosphere besides the occa-
sional ring of the cash register.
Unfortunately the sandwiches
at the Packard and State
branch taste like the paper they
are wrapped in. MR. MINI'S on

with all the trimmings or a

BASKIN ROBBINS, a long
ways down Main St. is typical of
its national 31 flavors chain-
more unusual types of ice cream
than Miller's (for instance,
Bubble Gum or Sangria Water
Ice) but it lacks Miller's special
touch. BRESSLER'S on Pack-
ard near State is a copy of the
Baskin-Robbin's type of ice
cream place, and ice cream is
always good. The GOOD HUM-
OR MAN - on fall and spring
days you can get a good humor
ice cream bar from the guy out
in front of the LSA Bldg. Half
the fun is talking to the old
man, who's been around quite a
while and is very devoted to his
job.

ington is first by a nose, The
restaurant offers excellent food,
both German and American, at
reasonable prices. METZGER'S.
on Main St. has a similar menu
with slightly cheaper prices but
is not quite as good. The OLD
HEIDELBERG down on Main
St. is also a good place to try
sauerbrouten for supper, but a
side-effect is the company of
County Sheriff Doug Harvey
and music that tends toward old
German marching songs.
If you are a real French food
buff, you probably will be slight-
ly disappointed with the food
and fairly stiff prices at CHEZ
CREPE on Main St. However, if
you've never tried a crepe be-
fore, the restaurant offers a
wide selection of these thin pan-
cakes filled with various :meats
and sauces,
place charges a lot for lox or
cream cheese, the bagels them-
selves are fresh and inexpen-
sive.
All riighters
When you're studying for'a
philosophy final through the
night, you will undoubtedly get
the hungriest just after the last
pizza parlor closes. However, a
small core of restaurants do
stay open all night and if you
don't mind sleazy clientele,
nearly any craving can be satis-
fied by one of these.
PAPPAS heads the list of this
group with its highly-touted
breakfast special mentioned
above. If you desire a more
complete menu to choose from,
try BIFFS where a whopping
hot fudget sundae can be had
for 35 cents and hot cakes are
70 cents. While the food is pretty
good' here, most of the prices
take up the added cost of a 24-
hour operation-so be prepared.
For a quick snack about 4 a.m.,
try AMY JOYS' donuts on Stadi-
um or D U N K I N DONUTS on
Packard or Main.
