The event is part of the Living Room Lecture series presented by Beth Israel Congregation and the Ann Arbor JCC.

During the lecture, Milan and Offen will talk about Ann Arbor’s legendary restaurants -- both past and present, and even solve a few mysteries, including how Division St. was named.

“Whether your fondest food memories of Ann Arbor began in the beloved green booths of Drake’s Sandwich Shop or amid the carved tabletops of the Pretzel Bell, or are drawn from more recent stops at Pizza Bob’s or Zingerman’s -- every generation has a favorite to share,” reads the event announcement.

“Join the fun, as we look at some of the unforgettable eateries and bars that have long made Ann Arbor a destination!”
