Things To Do

Greenfield Village

20900 Oakwood Boulevard, Dearborn, MI 48124
, (313) 982-6001

If you're looking for things to do/museums specifically....Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford are located next to each other and each has a lot of historical knowledge about the assembly line, Ford, Model T's etc.

Al Sultan Restaurant

415 Inkster Road, Garden City, MI 48135
, (734) 522-1500

Sarah's favorite place for Chicken Schwarmas and authentic hummus. She'll go to her grave standing behind that statement. They will call you 'my friend' and I am here for it forever and always.

Shatila Bakery

14300 West Warren Avenue, Dearborn, MI 48126
, (313) 582-1952

Mediterranean Bakery that is known for it's wonderful and authentic Baklava (and other sweets!)

Comerica Park

2100 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201

There is a game on August 25th at 7:10 pm against the Houston Astros! Tickets are regularly pretty affordable and this is walking distance from the hotels!

Lafayette Coney Island

118 W Lafayette Blvd (at Michigan Ave), Detroit, MI 48226
, (313) 243-1230

If you want the true full Detroiter experience, you've got to hit Lafayette Coney Island for a coney dog and chili cheese fries. A family favorite, the Eaton's typically go here after running the Turkey Trot on thanksgiving. Issa balance.

San Morello

1400 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226

San Morello is attached to the Shinola Hotel - they have a great bar and tasty Italian food. The food is more gourmet/specialty. You will likely need a reservation for dinner or brunch.
