Woke Up Black

I got you; Food — Grandma Bob’s or Buddy’s for square pizza (Buddy’s was my favorite but I think GB might have the title for best square pizza in Detroit … square pizza is our thing) …. Motown deli for corned beef anything (it’s carryout only so you can get it delivered) … Sweetwater tavern for the best wings in the city .. Bucharest grill for the best shawarma … prim and proper for steaks and seafood … Savannah blue for elevated soul food … Vicente’s for Cuban … we also have Mexican town for Mexican food Activities — walk through the newly rebuilt Greektown (also get some phenomenal Greek food) … stroll hart plaza for riverfront views … you can also walk from detroit to Canada on the brand new gordie Howe bridge (it’s just under two miles) … campus Martius which is our town square so to speak and has a cute bar called parque where you can nab a drink …if you like gambling, MGM casino … Hudson cafe and dime store for breakfast/brunch Club/late night — speakeasy at Baru (their restaurant is also pretty good, Cutter’s, Bert’s at Eastern Market, rooftop at the Godfrey, drinks at Queen’s bar, rooftop at the Cambria … speakeasy at siren … for live music, it’s a spot in harmonie park right next door to Baru (can’t remember the name) Hotel suggestions — Shinola, Cambria, Godfrey … you can got Marriott off the waterfront or book Cadillac Westin but i just don’t think those hotels are what they used to be. As for your coney experience … Lafayette coney downtown (chili dogs). However, i think you’re better off going to the neighborhood for your coney experience. My favorite is L George’s on 6 mile. Coney in the ‘hood means a full menu. The breakfast is outstanding, wings, wraps, etc. I’m sure other Detroiters will chime in, but this is my welcome to the D starter pack.
