Local tip: Eat on the bar side if there are just two of you. New American cuisine. Don't miss the lamb chops and the fries. Very convivial. Sunday brunch is a great way to start the day.

Excellent vegan food even for those of us who aren't vegan. Don't miss the deep fried tofu bites, though I'm not a fan of the vegan mac and cheese. Thursday nights they have poetry and music.

Wonderful breakfast and lunch spot. Open, airy, friendly. In the evenings, they often have musical performances. Parking in the back, but the road is rutted and narrow.

Drinks & Nightlife

Fifth-generation family business. Our neighbor, Dan, bartends there on Sundays. It's a bit of a walk, but an easy bike ride. Then you can explore the riverfront. Gorgeous.

The view doesn't get any better than this. It's pricey, but you can just have a drink at the bar and enjoy the view of the river, Canada and beyond. After, catch the People Mover for a downtown tour.

Sightseeing

Open farmers market on Saturdays; summer Sundays it has retail vendors. It's a Detroit experience and one of the oldest such markets in the country. Check out the food and the street art.

Don't miss Belle Isle, the city's 900+ acre island park. Picnic over there, rent bikes and kayaks, etc. Don't miss the newly reopened Aquarium. The view of Detroit from Sunset Point is stunning.

You probably want to go to see the Diego Rivera mural. It's a must-see. But also have a drink or snack in Kresge Court and feel the glamour of Detroit in the 1950s. Also: The puppet collection.
