Jefferson Market and Cakery

Growing up on the Old West Side, I've been going to this establishment for years. As a kid, it was fondly known as Johnnies Market. A husband and wife ran the market for years and I was a patron for all things from jaw breakers to Strawberry Crush. Currently, the market is known as Jefferson Market and Cakery. It's a GREAT place and owner, Mary, is a joy to work with. Be sure to check them out when you're on the Old West Side.

German Park!

Tomorrow is the last German Park of the season...will you be there?  A2 Townies sure will!  We've been going for years - picture Laura in a stroller as a wee one enjoying the celebrations!  Flash forward 30 some years forward and she's still loving it!  Great food, good friends, the chicken dance, German dancers, and buckets of beer.  What more could you ask for?

Prost!

We love the sun!

Great weather, a mother-daughter afternoon, Bell's Winter White beer, and appetizers from Zingerman's Roadhouse! A great day in A2!

Dexter Cider Mill

Fall has officially come and gone, but we were certain to get a couple visits into our favorite local cider mill.  The Dexter Cider Mill is a must-stop for locals, visitors, and bicyclists galore!

If you haven't had a chance to visit, this Friday, November 26, 2010 will be your last chance this season!  Enjoy!

Our first post AND Taco Tuesdays!

Gotta love it!  The first post for A2 Townies and Taco Tuesday all in one - ahhhh!

First, let us introduce ourselves...

We are a mother-daughter duo who were born and raised in Ann Arbor and are official TOWNIES! 

We love Ann Arbor (A2, the duece!) and all it has to offer.  Great food, inspiring arts and culture, nightlife, nature, and entertainment are just the beginning of what makes our city so adored...not to mention the fabulous people that make this one of the best towns to live and raise a family. 

We hope you enjoy A2 through our adventures as mother and daughter (aka best friends!).

Now, to our first "official" adventure - TACO TUESDAY!

We have been visiting Sabor Latino since they opened in 1998 (many times to get a Coke in the bottle!).  In 2009, the restaurant underwent new ownership and recently got a liquor license to serve a variety of margaritas, mixed drinks, wine, and imported/domestic beers. 

We have become regulars at Taco Tuesday for 1) the delicious tacos and 2) the great prices (tacos just $1).  The restaurant has nightly specials and Taco Tuesday is becoming wildly popular.  That said, service may not always be the fastest, but it is always friendly! 



Yummy beef, chorizo, and pork tacos!



Give Taco Tuesday (or any fab day of the week) a try at Sabor Latino!

Cheers!
