Great happy hour that goes until 6 (with $10 half dozen oysters), well-made cocktails and a raw bar. Also great fish and chips! Restaurant is half a block away. I like the atmosphere at the bar side better than the dining side, so I always ask to be seated there.

Best pie in Detroit! They also usually have a great soup or salad offering at lunchtime. Even though they close in the late afternoon, they often sell out, so get there before noon to be safe! I like the salted maple slice.

Arts & Culture

Very impressive collection, you'll be amazed! The museum is open later on Friday nights and hosts free musical performances in front of the iconic Detroit Industry Murals in Rivera court and various arts activities. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy some unique sounds.

Parks & Nature

Belle Isle is the largest island park in the country and designed by Frederick Olmsted. There are hiking trails, a free aquarium and conservatory (must see to ward off the chill in the winter), a boat museum, a historic fountain, a free nature zoo, and many great playgrounds. Take a dip in the Detroit River by visiting Belle Isle beach!

Shopping

This is THE place to go to get your tasteful boutique-style Michigan goods. The surrounding area has a great vibe and some good local breweries and restaurants.
