Similar to Ann Arbor, the best way to arrive in Ypsilanti is by car. Ypsilanti is bounded by I-94 (between Detroit and Jackson) on the south and US-23 (between Flint and Toledo, Ohio) on the west. From Toledo and points south, take US-23 north; from Detroit, the airport, and points east, take I-94 west (or I-96 west to M-14 west); from Chicago and points west, take I-94 east; from the north, take US-23 south.
By plane
The nearest major airport is Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), about 20 minutes away.

- The Ypsilanti water tower has the curious distinction of having won Cabinet magazine's competition to find the "world's most phallic building." With apologies to squeamish readers: it's 147 feet high, has a base diameter of 85 feet, and is known locally as "the brick dick." A common myth facetiously held at nearby Eastern Michigan University is that the tower will fall once a virgin student graduates from the school.

- SideTrack Bar and Grill, 56 E. Cross St, [2]. Great selection of beer and bar food, accompanied by the occasional rumble of Amtrak trains (hence the name). edit
- Aubree's Saloon, 32 E. Cross St, [3]. Another Depot Town favorite, probably best known for their pizza. edit
- Chick Inn Drive-In, 501 Holmes Rd. Old style drive-in where food is served to you in your car. Open year round. edit
- Wolverine Grill, 228 W. Michigan Ave. Located in the heart of downtown Ypsi, the Wolverine is a favorite amongst EMU students as well as locals. This is the kind of small town diner where the regulars don't even have to place an order. edit
- Roy's Squeeze-Inn, 1315 E. Michigan Ave. This tiny diner is known for having one of the best burgers in town. edit
- Bill's Drive-In, 1292 E. Michigan Ave. Another old-fashioned drive-in, known for their chili dogs and homemade root beer (actually that's about all that's on the non-existent menu). edit
[edit][add listing] Drink
- Ugly Mug Cafe. The most pretentious coffee in Michigan. Large crowd of all types of hipsters, including college and locals. You'll be completely taken by the espresso drinks. Also they roast beans constantly through-out the week. Its pleasant to smell the coffee as its being roasted. edit
