Dine Detroit

Detroiters love their food! We are the home of the original coney dog, Faygo, Vernors, Better Made, and Sanders Chocolates! There are a variety of restaurants to suit every palate. Feel like a burger and shake? Check out Mercury Bar in Corktown! Looking for the best mac and cheese in Michigan? Mac Shack's food truck has your answer. Want a pizza and movie night at home? Supino's, Buddy's, or the Detroit Pizza Company have you covered. Have a special occasion and want to try some upscale dining? The view from Coach Insignia at the top of the GM Renaissance Center is sure to impress, Selden Standard has perfectly shareable plates with craft cocktails to suit the seasons. And of course, no visit to Detroit would be complete without a visit to Slow's, the best barbecue in the state.

Enjoy Detroit

Detroiters live for the adrenaline rush...whether it's watching the Lions come back to win a game from 21-0, catching a concert at the Masonic Temple, or stopping to see a mixologist at one of many cocktail bars, Detroit has you covered! This city is rich with culture. Some local favorites include the sport stadiums (Comerica Park, Joe Louis Arena, Ford Field, The Palace), jazz clubs (Cliff Bell's and Dirty Dog Jazz Club), casinos, and a variety of art districts. Detroit is home to Cadieux Cafe, the only place in the United States to boast feather bowling. And for all y'all country fans, we also have the three-day Downtown Hoedown in the summer!

Detroit enjoys four seasons, allowing for a variety of activities. For those who like the outdoors, there are several state parks within 40 minutes of the city including Kensington, Metrobeach Park, and Stoney Creek. Here, residents frequently go roller-blading, biking, hiking, play beach volleyball, paddle boating, or simply enjoy the warm weather. Less than two hours away, is Traverse City, which features crystal blue waters, world-famous Cherry Festival, cabin rentals, and beautiful sand dunes. Fall is the season of fresh-baked donuts and hot apple cider...a Michigan tradition! The surrounding area is filled with apple orchards and cider mills, as well as corn mazes. During the winter months, Campus Martius in downtown Detroit has ice skating, hot chocolate, and several restaurant options. Festivals including Noel Night and Winter Blast bring hundreds of visitors to the city during this time.

Wright Museum provides an in-depth look at African American history. Hitsville U.S.A. highlights the city's rich musical history, and the Rouge River Factory reflects the city's commitment to the auto industry over the years. Detroit is a city of transformation, which is tangible as one views the unique art of the Heidelberg Project. The Detroit Train Station offers a glimpse into the past and is often the subject of local photography.
