I moved to Detroit when my husband and I were starting to get serious. He used to live right next to Comerica Park—back in the day, I could just say “the building with the whales on it,” but sadly, that mural has since been covered up. A few years before we we got married, he bought our first home in the Woodbridge neighborhood, and now we’re living in a beautiful 1890s Victorian in Midtown. One of the best parts about living in the city is being so close to so many amazing restaurants! Here are some of our favorite brunch spots in Detroit. Since we have an almost 4-year-old, we tend to stick to places that are family-friendly and easy to enjoy with a little one in tow.
