For more than four decades, Zingerman’s has been a beloved cornerstone of Ann Arbor—a place where full-flavored food, warm hospitality and deep community roots come together to create memorable experiences. While many know the iconic Zingerman’s Deli for its legendary sandwich menu, specialty food selection and globally sourced ingredients, fewer realize that the same exceptional service and culinary craft extend beyond the Deli’s doors. Just across downtown sits Zingerman’s Greyline, the organization’s stylish, historic event space designed to bring those signature flavors and that signature service to weddings, corporate gatherings, social events and celebrations of all kinds.
This winter, Zingerman’s is inviting the community to explore that space firsthand. On Saturday, January 17, from 11am-2pm, Greyline will host its Experience Zingerman’s Greyline Open House—a free, immersive event offering tastings, tours, interactive activities, and an up-close look at what makes this venue truly unique.
A space rooted in history and reimagined for today
Greyline occupies the former Greyhound Bus Station in downtown Ann Arbor, a detail still proudly referenced in its preserved exterior signage. Inside, the space blends historic character with modern Art Deco-inspired design, creating a warm and flexible environment that can be tailored to virtually any type of event. With seating for up to 120 guests, Greyline offers an understated, elegant aesthetic that serves as a blank canvas for clients’ visions—whether that’s an intimate wedding, a rehearsal dinner, a milestone celebration or a corporate workshop.
One of the venue’s greatest strengths is its accessibility. Located on a single level with easy entry points, adjacent to hotel accommodations, and equipped with full climate control, Greyline offers comfort and convenience year-round—no weather worries, no complicated logistics.
