Hopefully you've already made it out to one of the Juneteenth celebrations happening around town today. If not, there are still plenty of reasons to leave the house this weekend (and at least a few that involve food, live music, bubbles, and mushrooms).

The new downtown aperitivo bar has officially opened its doors. They're still waiting on their liquor license, but you can already stop in for mocktails, coffee, snacks, and a first look at the space.

Orijin Bakery Opens This Summer
The team behind Sava's, Aventura, and The Dixboro Project is bringing a bakery downtown. If you've ever had one of the pastries at The Boro, you already know why people are excited about this one.

Le Mec Is Coming to Downtown Ann Arbor
Another new restaurant is on the way. The French-inspired concept is expected to open later this summer in the former Jolly Pumpkin space on Main Street.

Sugo Pasta Bar Is Coming to Kerrytown
Fresh pasta made right in front of you, a menu built around handmade noodles, and another reason to wander over to Kerrytown.
