Bustling downtown cafe serving coffee they roast themselves and baked in-house cheesecakes.

Tiny downtown spot just off Woodward serving Italian subs and tasty breakfast sandwiches.

Hamtramck cafe featuring Middle Eastern Halal delicacies from sandwiches to complete meals. Portions are enormous and tremendous value. Homemade bread, fahsah meat stew, lamb, and ghallaba are not to be missed.

Restaurant collective + beer garden built within the walls of shipping containers. At any given time you will find an assortment of food, beer, cocktails, live music, coffee and ice cream, but not necessarily at the same time.

Perfectly situated downtown hotel created in the old Detroit Fire Department headquarters building. Custom designed fixtures and furnishings everywhere, dine in the Apparatus Room. Detroit’s proud history of manufacturing is celebrated throughout and original materials abound.

Minimalist shop collaborating with designers worldwide. Great sunny spot overlooking Eastern Market.

Climb up the old stairway in Cadillac Square and you will find a hip spot for haircut indulgence.

Well worn comfortable spot off Woodward for drinks and food. Nothing fancy or pretentious but great weathered charm.

Former derelict Holiday Inn turned into hip, well-designed lodging. Restaurant, bar and half the rooms are still a work in progress but great value alternative to the downtown hotels and convenient to Corktown.

“Dedicated to the art of hospitality and creative thinking.” Standby is a necessary stop for creative and equisite cocktails and food. Head down the alley near Greektown and be transformed.
