Lafayette Coney Island
If you're looking for a late-night bite, stop by this Detroit landmark for a classic Coney dog or chili cheese fries. Cash only! Lafayette vs American Coney Island History: The Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island rivalry in Detroit is a well-known and ongoing culinary battle, with both restaurants claiming to be the original and superior Coney Island hot dog vendor. The rivalry stems from a familial split between brothers, Gust and Bill Keros, who initially worked together but later went their separate ways, opening their own restaurants side-by-side on Michigan Avenue.
Michigan Central
Michigan Central Station is the centerpiece of Michigan Central’s 30-acre innovation hub. Originally opened in December 1913, Michigan Central Station once served as the gateway to Detroit, with more than 4,000 passengers a day at its peak in the 1940s. Designed by the same architectural firms behind New York’s famed Grand Central, the Station was considered to be one of the grandest depots in the United States. But as travel patterns changed, the Station closed on January 6, 1988. For more than three decades, neglect and vandalism made the vacant structure an infamous symbol of Detroit’s financial decline and disinvestment. In 2018, Ford Motor Company acquired the property to help Detroit reclaim its status as the world’s home of innovation.
Shinola Detroit Store
Shinola is an American brand that revived a shoe polish name and repositioned it as a high-quality, luxury watch and lifestyle brand. Founded in 2011 in Detroit, Shinola aimed to bring watchmaking back to the United States. The company's story is closely tied to Detroit's revitalization and a belief in American craftsmanship.
