Question: Tell us your favorite way to play in \u00a0Detroit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: Detroit\u2019s Eastern Market remains my favorite place to spend a Saturday morning in Detroit. \u00a0I have formed countless memories laughing with loved ones as we fuel up on the daily special at Russell Street Deli (don\u2019t leave without eating a cookie!). My ideal afternoon takes place at one of Detroit\u2019s must see cultural treasures- DIA, Henry Ford, Motown Museum, and now, the newly renovated Detroit Historical Museum. \u00a0I would end my night listening to live music over steak and eggs at Cliff Bells. \u00a0And if I reeeeeally didn\u2019t want to go home yet, I\u2019d probably head over to Comet Bar for some karaoke and a slice of their delicious homemade pie\u2026 or the Bronx Bar where I would play tracks from the best jukebox in town over a basket of bacon\u2026. or Northern Lights for a game of shuffleboard \u2026 or\u2026 ok ok, I\u2019ll stop.<\/p>\n

Question: What makes Detroit\u2019s social scene unique?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: Much of what has become popular in the city was started by grassroots efforts. \u00a0Detroit is quickly becoming known by outsiders as a city of \u201cdo-ers.\u201d \u00a0There is an incredible amount of young energy. \u00a0If you have an idea that you want to see come to fruition, this is the place to be. \u00a0Case in point: Colors restaurant, Hostel Detroit, Freshwater Railway, Eat Detroit, the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Question: What else would you like to share about playing in Detroit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: Living in Detroit is an adventure. \u00a0Last Sunday after eating breakfast at New Center Eatery, my partner and I stopped by the Fisher building on our walk home. In the lobby, a stranger introduced himself to us and asked us if we were familiar with the history and architecture of the building. \u00a0One hour later, after exploring the corridors in the basement, various office suites, and receiving a short art history lesson, we shook hands and said goodbye to our new friend. Obviously it\u2019s important to be cautious when living in an urban area, or any area for that matter, but it\u2019s equally as important to be receptive to new experiences. \u00a0And Detroit, much more often than not, is the epitome of that Midwestern friendliness that out-of-towners rave about.<\/p>\n
