Things To Do
Take Advantage of the Q Line
The Q-line is a modern trolley that runs up and down Woodward Avenue from Campus Martius (the epicenter of Detroit - 0 Mile) all the way out to where the cocktail reception is on Friday night. It is completely free: just hop on!
Detroit Institute of Arts
Maybe you like to keep it classy. Then head out to monolithically-classical DIA and appreciate some true masterpieces. Right on the Q-line, this is an easy trip from downtown.
Motown Museum
There is a trope that nobody actually *from* Detroit has been here. Amelia must have thought Tim worth more than her Local Card, because we went and found it quite interesting. Advance reservations required.
The Guardian Building
If you're walking around downtown and are interested in a cool building, check out The Guardian. Walk in and look around the lobby at the unique architecture!
Book Tower
Not to be confused with the Book Cadillac, Book Tower is home of an interior glass rotunda. Amelia and Tim ate at the (then just-opened) French restaurant Le Supreme that calls Book Tower home, as well as the lobby bar. The rooftop bar is supposed to be excellent, but they have always been full when we have tried to check it out. Maybe you'll have better luck than us!
Lafayette Coney Island
Detroit LOVES their Coney Island hot dogs (but they just call them Coneys)! The two classic spots are downtown and share a building. But you have to choose: Lafayette or American. There is a strong loyalty to one or the other, so choose wisely!
