A guide to metro Detroit
Sights and sounds and food!
This is an absolute MUST if you're in town on a Saturday. Local food and food trucks, local art, local fruit/veggies, flowers, live music - it's a MUST. Plan to arrive before noon. Heavily recommend the hot and fast barbeque and live music at Bert's.

Awesome tapas style food. I wasn't a huge fan of their signature dish (the octopus) but everything else was amazing from apps to entrée to dessert and even cocktails. Plus it's a historic building with amazing décor and service.

Awesome building with incredible architecture and close to the river walk which is awesome. There's also a small food court on the first floor. GM is also known to feature up and coming, not released vehicles there as well for you to view in person.

DO NOT confuse this with American Coney island. This is a hole in the wall, dive Coney Dog place that's employee owned and operated. You're a tourist if you go to American - you're a local if you go to Lafayette.
