Dining

OUR FAVES

Flowers of Vietnam

This trendy neighborhood spot in Southwest Detroit aims to capture the spirit of classic Vietnamese dishes such as pho and broken rice. Once a weekends-only pop-up in a coney island, Flowers of Vietnam now sports an attractive bar area with an impressive list of wine, beer, and cocktails. Items such as a caramel chicken wings and whole fried fish are popular, but don’t overlook options like the heaping plates of green papaya salad or the fried salt and pepper prawns.

Our favorites are the caramel chicken wings (A-1), tom rang muo (A-2), and the bap xao (C-5).

Savannah Blue

Savannah Blue's menu offers contemporary northern soul food– fresh ingredients prepared with southern flavors, presented with Detroit style. 

Our favorites are the crab cakes, SB catfish served with macaroni and cheese and greens, and the braised oxtail.

San Morello

Located right on Woodward minutes from Campus Martius, San Morello is chef Andrew Carmellini's urban Italian neighborhood restaurant in Downtown Detroit serving authentic, wood-fired dishes, pizzas and house-made pastas using local, seasonal ingredients.

Our favorites are the sheep’s milk ricotta with hot honey & garlic, lamb meat balls, and lamb shank.

Cocktails

Sugar House

The Sugar House is Detroit’s original craft cocktail bar, opening in the fall of 2011 in the historic Corktown neighborhood. In addition to the foundational 101 classics, the Sugar House features a rotating seasonal menu of original house cocktails and one of the deepest back bars in the city. The extensive spirits list is anchored by the many hand picked single barrel bourbons and American whiskies.

Two James

Two James is located in Corktown, Detroit’s oldest neighborhood, and is the first licensed distillery in Detroit since Prohibition.

Things to Do

famous songs.
Learn how Berry Gordy started it all with an $800 loan from his family. You’ll even be invited to sing a few bars of a favorite Motown tune in the legendary Studio A. It’s all here, preserved in time, waiting for you.
