Literati 124 E Washington St. (734) 585-5567 www.literatibookstore.com Literati has quickly become one of Ann Arbor’s favorite small businesses. Mike and Hilary Gustafson, Michigan natives, opened the store in 2013 to provide A2’s downtown with a general bookstore, and they take great pride in their well-curated selection. With a new coffee shop, Espresso Bar, located upstairs, Literati hosts author events, panels, and new to the menu, book trivia nights. Runner Up: Nicola’s

Bivouac 336 S State St. 877-846-8248 www.bivouacannarbor.com Ann Arbor fashion lovers know: One of the best places to shop top trends is Bivouac. What they may not know is that Bivouac opened in 1971 as a family owned army surplus store. Now carrying a huge assortment of brands and styles to suit all ages, interests, and body types, Bivouac has always thrived on variety—going on a trek, going to a game, going out to dinner; at Bivouac, there is something for every occasion.
