Dining
This Midwest college town prides itself on the authentic, global flavors you’ll find here. While the downtown area offers a highly concentrated selection of restaurants for any budget, there are countless local favorites and hidden gems throughout the region. One of the biggest names in food, Zingerman’s, got its start here. While the original deli still stands in the Kerrytown shopping district, locals know that Zingerman’s Southside offers quick access to baked goods, soups and quick meals, sweet treats, coffee drinks, and more. Of course, Zingerman’s isn’t the only game in town. See a menu of dining options!
