Food Scene
This is by far my most frequent stop in Detroit. The coffee drinks are spot on (try the lavender latte) and the wine list is hand picked by a friend of mine. Sit at the bar. Don't bring your computer.

Great club if you're into Jazz. The food has gone downhill in the past year but the music has stayed as delightful as it ever was. Sit, listen and if you get a chance, walk around the place and look.

The bagels here are hand-crafted Detroit originals. Dont be distracted by the many options for food - the rosemary and sea salt is by far the best, toasted, cream cheese. Keep it simple.

Be warned - this place is full of hipsters and the music is often terrible . However, the espresso is ok. I go here to meet with people and to slow sip a double shot while watching passer-bys.

Drinks & Nightlife
Good Cocktails. Often crowded and a bit pricey but worth at least one visit. My favorite cocktail isn't on the menu - the EFK is a bourbon cocktail that they smoke on site. It VERY SMOKEY...
