Pick a side in Detroit's oldest argument. Two coneys with everything, a Faygo, brusque service, cash only. Open absurdly late.
The 1946 corner bar where Detroit-style pizza was invented, still baking it in blue steel pans. Go to the original on Conant.
The barbecue joint that kicked off Corktown's comeback in 2005. Get The Yardbird and settle in for the wait.
Dozens of inventive sliders, almost all a few dollars, in a horse-racing-themed room. The cheapest good time in the city.
Mahogany, brass and low light, exactly as it looked in 1935, with live jazz most nights. Detroit's most romantic room.
The world's oldest jazz club, running since 1934, with a piano-shaped bar. Reopened in June 2026 after a full restoration.
A Vietnam veterans' living room turned beloved dive — thrift-store couches, a bonfire out back, cheap beer, no pretense.
Lisa Ludwinski's corner bakery works Michigan fruit into salted-honey and sour-cherry pies worth crossing town for.
One of America's great museums, and the only place you can stand inside Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals.
The largest institution of its kind anywhere, built around the sweeping 'And Still We Rise' walk through Black history.
Hitsville U.S.A. — the little house where Studio A cut the records that rewired American pop. Book ahead; tours sell out.
The 1904 factory where the Model T was born, still a creaky wooden loft full of brass-era cars. The car city starts here.
Free, and better than free: the cobblestone Streets of Old Detroit downstairs and a working auto assembly line upstairs.
An Olmsted-designed island in the Detroit River with a conservatory, an aquarium and the best skyline view in the city.
Three and a half miles of reclaimed riverfront, with Canada across the water and a carousel about halfway along.
A below-grade rail line turned bike path, walled the whole way in some of Detroit's best graffiti. Links the river to Eastern Market.
Downtown's living room: a beach in summer, a rink and the city tree in winter, and Point of Origin marking Detroit's mile zero.
Saturday morning is the whole city in one place — six blocks of sheds, produce, cut flowers and murals, going since 1891.
Detroit's most famous ruin is a ruin no longer — the Beaux-Arts waiting room reopened in 2024 and you can walk right in.
Step into the 'Cathedral of Finance' just for the lobby: Pewabic tile, Rookwood arches and a barrel vault of pure 1929 swagger.
Albert Kahn's 'largest art object' — a gilded, marble-lined arcade that is worth the drive up Woodward on its own.
A 5,000-seat Siamese-Byzantine fever dream, restored to the last tassel. Any show is an excuse to see the lobby.
Tyree Guyton turned two blocks of his childhood street into a polka-dotted open-air artwork. Free, always on, deeply Detroit.
A 1903 National Historic Landmark still firing the iridescent tile that lines half the landmarks downtown. Gallery and shop are free.
Tiger stone heads, a working carousel and a Ferris wheel of baseballs. Even a bad Tigers night is a good night out.
