Food Scene
Its vegan...but it's vegan SOUL ! This place is popular even for non vegetarians and for good reason. I highly recommend DVS; and it's right down the street! *note Check the times because they often close early.

I love the atmosphere at Craft Work and the long communal tables they have. The food is excellent and you never know when Jack White might walk in for a drink. It's a great spot to have a nice dinner and its walking distance in the Historic West Village.

One of the most impressive theaters in the world, in my opinion. The acts are even more impressive. Shows start at $50 and it's worth the money every single time.

The most beautiful and iconic building in downtown Detroit. A must see. They also offer a free tour of the building with spectacular views twice a day for free. It's awesome just to walk around the building. The Ren Cen is filled with the newest GM cars on full display, original Detroit art, coffee shops, restaurants and even a food court.

Belle Isle is to Detroit as Central Park is to New York. The island is home to many interesting spots like the Belle Aquarium and Conservatory, and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum amongst many others. A drive around the island will take you to picnic areas with gorgeous views of Detroit's skyline, as well as a views of our sister city in Canada; Windsor. For some great pictures visit The James Scott Memorial Fountain. Belle Isle is great if you want to take a run or hike around, play basketball or go fishing. It's great for everyone and it's even a good spot to lay on the beach and get a tan. Detroit Loves Belle Isle Park.
