Top 3 fav spots down town. They're a Afro-caribbean resturant, meaning they serve African food with Caribbean food. My fav. thing to get is the Classic Village Combo

Time will tell is located on Woodward in Detroit. It's a small, cozy space. They have a juke box in the space that you can play music from. Drinks are good, and the overall aesthetics is nice. I love going here dressed up.

Omg. Ya'll. If you ever go to NYC, this spot is a MUST. It's on the 56th floor of the Parkway Hotel and it has a terrace that opens up to over look Central Park. 100/10 must visit. The cocktails are good too, but be aware that they are expensive.
