it would be a disservice to not share motor city wine, best wine bar. I usually buy all my wine here even if I’m not planning on staying

my bf and I are so obsessed with taqueria el ray. amazing tacos, queso, homemade salsas. they have bbq too but I haven’t tried!
Taqueria El Rey - Southwest Detroit, Detroit, MI
one of my favorite summer spots, farm to table food and fresh drinks since they partner with a ton of detroit food farms
Coriander Kitchen and Farm
another cute summer spot with such good wine and cocktails. one of my favorite spots especially with a bigger group since you can either request a table or sit picnic style in the park area
Father Forgive Me
such good fresh pizza, salads, and wine. there are two locations: eastern market and new center. we love to dine in or get takeout from here

Sicily's pizzeria and subs
best thai place in the city and it's not even close
Bai Mai Thai
cozy coffee spot in eastern market
La Ventana Cafe
yum new brunch spot right below pocket change in eastern market area
Fred's
the best smash burger around town, in brush park (a cute neighborhood right by all the stadiums!)

cute eclectic bar right downtown. you're usually greeted by Mr. D'Mongo. there's live music and stronggggg(!) drinks. it's always a silly night here
Cafe d'Mongo's Speakeasy | Detroit MI
a detroit staple, an easy dive bar night in the summer. cheap drinks and good food :)
