FARMINGTON
INDEPENDENCE WEEK
CELEBRATION

FEB 6 – Feb 10, 2024

Farmington, MICHIGAN

Lindsay Kennedy, owner of Dolcetto Cheese & Specialty Goods, loves to “get weird,” she says, so she decided to host a celebration of Dolcetto’s anniversary of becoming a shop independent of the former franchise it was part of, The Cheese Lady. From Feb. 6 through 10, stop by the shop in downtown Farmington for wine and food tastings, music, giveaways from local businesses and more. Participating Farmington businesses include Never Forgotten Bakery, MassageLuxe, Dearborn Music, Bodhi Yoga and more. Also, you can try your hand at the “art of the wheel” contest and decorate a cheese container for display in the shop.

Miguel Arzate, general manager of Taques Bar and Grill in downtown Farmington, spoke passionately about this new restaurant. Designed with some “pizzazz” for date nights and celebrations, as well as casual nights out, the authentic Mexican eatery features enchiladas, street tacos and more unusual dishes like the al ambres, Taques’s version of fajitas; and the tampiquena, a combination plate with steak, an enchilada and a taco. Don’t forget to try the house margarita and signature drinks like the lemon drop martini and Oaxaca old fashioned.

Elwin Greenwald, owner and chef for Elwin & Co. in Berkley, told us about his long-time business, which opened in 1991. Located in Berkley since 1991, Elwin & Co. started out offering scones – the business’s claim to fame – but has branched out to include soups, lasagna and more. Try the popular raspberry white chocolate scone or savory scones like onion poppyseed, or grab meatloaf or chicken soup to heat up at home. You can find Elwin’s items at Nino Salvaggio and Westborn Markets, plus small Meijer stores and many other retailers.

Stop in and enjoy the casual atmosphere as you get your wrist band, which unlocks and tracks the 40 taps on the wall. Choose from unusual brews like Splcy Pickle Monster, IPAs, wines, ciders, non-alcoholic beers and even cold brew coffee. If you’re hungry, use your phone to order the Royal Oak burger with cheese, fish tacos, tachos, chicken wings or other items. There’s no tipping at North End, so the checkout process is simple.
