Meals and LSC Dinner

The Holiday Inn has an attached restaurant / sports bar [Guy Hollorin's], which offers breakfast. There are several other eating establishments right behind the hotel: Mark's Midtown Coney Island for breakfast / lunch / dinner; Quizno's Sub and Bewon Korean Cuisine for lunch / dinner. Somewhat longer walks away [across Plymouth Road - a busy thoroughfare] are Applebee's, Big Boy, and Carson's American Bistro.

A variety of restaurants and fast-food joints can be found for lunch along South University Avenue, just east of campus. There is also a student union with a food court (lower level) at the corner of South University and State Street.

More information on Ann Arbor restaurants is available here

Generally, most of the best restaurants are in the downtown area [several blocks west of campus], but if you're not picky or if in a hurry, you can make do with what is available near campus and near the hotel.

The conference dinner will be held Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in the Hussey Room on the 2nd floor of the Michigan League, located on the northwest corner of North University Avenue and Fletcher Street.

Please contact Beth Demkowski (demkowsk@umich.edu, 734.615.5811) with any special dietary requirements in advance.

Refreshments and snacks will be available during morning and afternoon breaks of the LSC and of the F2F meetings.

Directions

Please see Travel Information page maintained by Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics for information on reaching Ann Arbor from the Detroit-Wayne Metropolitan Airport [DTW].


Parking

Parking is very limited around the campus. As buses will be provided for shuttling participants from the hotel to campus and back at the start and end of Saturday and Sunday, it should not be necessary to use a car in Ann Arbor. In addition, the hotel has its own small shuttle bus, available for trips to central campus and downtown. Nonetheless, if you do try to park near campus, there are some options discussed here, the most attractive of which is probably the Forest Street structure, three blocks from the Physics Department.

Weather

Michigan weather is notoriously variable; in early June conditions may range from chilly to quite hot. You may wish to consult this forecast page shortly before packing for the trip.
