Ann Arbor's dining scene is proving to be healthier than ever as new eateries and drinking establishments have popped up all over town with menus showcasing cuisines from all over the world. From fine dining to fast-casual — and even a humble chicken shack — there's something for all tastes and budgets.

It used to take several years before national trends would reach this quaint Midwestern college town, but this newest batch of eateries are showing that Tree Town can keep up with the times. Trendy dishes like Nashville hot chicken and poke bowls abound.  Another exciting development: the willingness of intrepid business owners to open in locations outside of the lively downtown area in previously underserved neighborhoods where rents are cheap and parking is plentiful.

This map features nine new places that have opened around Ann Arbor in the past few months. Expect to see it updated bi-annually with fresh destinations. For more established eateries, don't miss Ann Arbor's essential restaurants map.
