is one many favorite Ann Arbor eateries. Located on Washington Street, it special- ized in grilled food, and was also a beer brewery. photo by Ashley Rice srne t almost any time of the day, you could have gone to Da Vinci ' s for some balsamic eggplant pizza. And if that did not suit your fancy, you could have munched on a pie whose toppings included banana peppers, chicken and artichokes. If Da Vinci ' s was not quite your speed, you could have had a seafood pizza from Pizza House, or maybe even a mysterious gift basket of pita bread known as a Chipati. Or you could have gone across the street for Korean food. Or bagels. Or maybe one of the hundreds of different kinds of coffee available in the city. Wherever you went in Ann Arbor, it was easy to see that there was no shortage of different and exotic places to eat. In fact, few other cities covered the range from McDonald ' s to Ethiopian cuisine. Junior electrical engineering major Ja ' Nelle Jefferson reminisced about a certain eatery known as the Mongolian Barbecue. Very enjoyable, she said. You make your own stir-fry.. .you take it up to the cook and t hey have this big, round grill and they cook everyone ' s food with big wooden sticks. It ' s good, if you know what you are doing. Do-it-yourself entrees were only the tip of the iceberg, however. At the Daika Lok Cafe, you could have opened wide for some fried squid, and an interesting atmosphere. There ' s an anime display with different types of toys, said sophomore cellular and molecu- lar biology major Charlyn Primous. They have the Manga [comic books] from Japan and other places, and inside you can get green tea ice cream and fried squid. ..it was just a variety of different foods that I had never had before. As University students strode through the streets of Ann Arbor, their senses were set ablaze by the veritable encyclopedia of tastes, smells and sights that made this city a very interesting place to be in if you are hungry. However, seeing all these places was a far different matter from sampling them. The students were more than willing to try all the culinary delights their town had to offer, but one fact still remained: they were in college. I think there are a lot of restaurants, but they are not really accessible, Primous wisely commented. They are kind of expensive, and you have to realize that we are students on a budget. by Nathaniel Williams Michigan Life + 21
