Carol & Aaron's Favorite D-Town Digs

One weekend simply can't do Detroit justice, but we've put together some of our absolute favorite spots in D-town that you should definitely check out! Detroit is pretty walkable, but you can easily get an Uber, rent a city bike, or take the Q-Line all the way from downtown to Midtown.

We hope you enjoy your stay!



Where to Eat

Madcap Coffee

Caroline's favorite coffee shop. Get yourself an oat milk latte and grab a seat outside to enjoy live music Saturdays in Parker Alley!


Avalon Bakery

A frequent haunt for Caroline & Aaron and a Detroit staple! The egg, bacon & avo breakfast sandwich with a side of breakfast potatoes is *chef's kiss*


Parc

Great spot for brunch right in the heart of Detroit. We'd suggest making a reservation as it's a popular spot!


La Lanterna

Easygoing spot for housemade pastas & Neapolitan-style pizzas. Ask for Larry the bartender and tell him Caroline sent you.


Olin

Great spot for dinner with even better cocktails. The paella is a must!


San Morello

Another great italian spot serving wood-fired pizza and handmade pastas located in the famous Shinola Hotel.


Leila

Caroline's personal favorite and another Detroit staple. Chic eatery serving Lebanese staples such as falafel, meat dishes & hummus, plus creative cocktails.



Where TO Drink

The Belt Alley

The Belt is a lively spot with many places to grab a drink. Try The Skip or Standby for craft cocktails & a thoughtful beer list.


Queens Bar

Laid back bar and a personal night-cap-favorite for Caroline.


Monarch Club

Great craft cocktail rooftop with the best views of the city! I would suggest making a reservation here.


The Brakeman

Craft beer, fried chicken and foosball? Yep.


Kamper's Rooftop Lounge

Cocktail bar sitting on the 14th floor of the historic and newly renovated Book Tower.


Atwater Brewery & Tap House

Want to make a pit stop before cocktail hour? Atwater is less than a 10 minute Uber ride from the church and a 10 minute ride to the reception.



Where to go

The Detroit River Walk

Take a walk, rent a bike, or ride a scooter along the Detroit River. The path spans more than 3 miles and has great views of both Detroit and Canada.


Detroit Institute of Arts

Recently named the best art museum in the US, the DIA has one of the largest and most significant art collections in the country.


Motown Museum

Home of the original headquarters and music recording studio for Motown Records. Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Jackson 5, and so many more are some of the artists who recorded here.


Belle Isle Conservatory

The Belle Isle Conservatory is a greenhouse and a botanical garden located on Belle Isle, where our reception is located.


Comerica Park

The Tigers will be playing the Chicago White Sox at 6:40 PM on Friday, the 27th. Head to Tin Roof before for a pre-game brew. Eat 'em up!
