As a Detroit native, I can’t help but to recommend my city. The Motor City is best known for Motown Records, home of a ton of legends, and is the epicenter of Black culture. Downtown Detroit is now flourishing with dope things to do and see such as visiting the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA), Eastern Market, and the Heidelberg Project.
There’s too many things about Detroit that makes it just an amazing, culture filled, one of a kind city. I would say it’s a place filled with history and nightlife but there’s also so many good places to eat. I love kuzzos chicken and waffles, bakers keyboard lounge for some good soul food and jazz. for some fun, you can roller skate at roller Cade Detroit. Also, visiting the Motown museum is nice as well!
While in the city, check out Black Owned Ima, for some yummy Japanese food. You won’t be disappointed. When you’re finished, you must check out the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and/or the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. If you are looking for nightlife, Deluxx Fluxx is certainly a vibe!
Detroit is still an amazing city to visit. So many things are close together you can experience a lot of what it has to offer. In the inner city, you can eat at local coney islands for an inexpensive meal. Or you can walk around downtown for something more upscale. You can catch a variety of festivals at Hart Plaza throughout the warm summer months. Any season you can stroll on the Riverwalk or head down to Belle Isle for a cool ride around the island. If you choose to go further out, the surrounding city�s are pretty close and easy to get to with many options of fun as well.
