Arcadia Terrace

Welcome to the neighborhood!If you like sushi or Japanese cuisine, there is a little place called Tampopo on Lincoln Avenue, just north of Washtenaw. It doesn't look like much from the outside (in fact, you may pass it by if you didn't know it was there), but it is reasonably priced and pretty good. There is also a place on Peterson called Fondue Stube- I have yet to go there (and I have lived in Arcadia Terrace for 6 years now), but I always want to check it out and it seems to get good reviews. If you have pets, there is also a nice little independent pet food/supply store just south of Lincoln and Catalpa called Active Pet. If you like local bars, there is the Emerald Isle on the corner of Peterson Avenue and Maplewood. It is a nice little place, they serve typical bar food, and have some pool tables. Just a local little hangout. I would advise just walking around the neighborhood and just pop into whatever place interests you, the neighborhood is really friendly and quiet, and I have really enjoyed living in this area for the past six years.

Hi Dawn. I've lived on Thorndale near Peterson and Western for 5 years and love it. As Melanie said, it's very quiet. I walk my dog at all hours and feel safe. I lived on Farwell near Western for about 8 years prior. It was a lot more congested and much noisier. There is a lot of parking on Thorndale. I don't know what street you'll be living on, but Thorndale and Artesian has great parking. I've heard the restaurant on the corner of Peterson and Artesian is excellent for South American food. It's called Sabor A Cafe Columbian Steakhouse. I walk by there a lot with my dog and have talked to people going in and out and they say it's excellent. Green Briar Park is on Peterson and Talman. There are a few restaurants on Lincoln just west of California. I love the neighborhood. Hope you will too!
