Things To Do
Detroit Institute of Arts
Home of the historic Detroit Industry Murals by Diego Rivera.
Campus Martius Park
The heart of the city! Rent some skates and check out the big ole Christmas tree.
Motown Museum
Also known as Hitsville U.S.A.! Discover the birthplace of Motown.
The Fowling Warehouse
Venture into Hamtamck (a city within a city) and learn how to fowl! Football + bowling + booze = fun.
Bronx Bar
Charlene may have retired, but you still gotta show respect at this Cass Corridor dive. Find your jam on the jukebox, grab a (cheap) beer, and try the famous blackout burger.
3rd Street Bar
Get litty and play the ring game.
The Sugar House
OG cocktails that ain't cheap. Good thing you only need one.
Two James Spirits
Some of Detroit's finest spirits. The gin is our favorite.
Batch Brewing Company
Craft beer & pub food. Nuff said.
Lafayette Coney Island
Lafayette or American? You be the judge! Either way you can enjoy a classic Detroit coney dog.
Chili Mustard Onions
Vegan coney dogs! Lauren-approved.
Green Dot Stables
Even if you're not into horse-racing, the sliders and drinks are worth a try.
Supino Pizzeria
Not quite Detroit-style, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a better pizza joint in the city.
Russell Street Deli
Sam's favorite deli sandwiches... period. Don't sleep on their homemade soups either. And they keep it 100 with the Better Made BBQ chips. Fugeo!
Avalon International Breads
Cass Corridor's best bakery since 1997, with vegan sweets to boot. The downtown location is okay, but nothing beats the original.
Brooklyn Street Local
Great Corktown brunch spot with some French-Canadien flavor (poutine!) and vegan options.
Detroit Shipping Company
Fun fact: this neat little collection of bars, street-food, music, and art space is located right down the street from Sam's old elementary school. Shoutout to Burton International!
