Places To Go On Your Detroit Trip
All my life I have lived in Detroit. I have regularly struggled with where I should take visitors that come in from out of the city. Detroit is not Chicago, New York, or Boston. However , if you look in the right places, there are plenty of great sites to be seen.
To be honest, Detroit saw better times. Being raised in the city, I remember many great things about the city that do not exist anymore today. Nevertheless I think the city is on the rise and there is a great future ahead. Downtown Detroit has improved and there are many more improvements in the works. For those with the entrepreneurial spirit, I suspect this is an excellent place to be.
In this post, I will give you my top ten things which you should do on your trip to Detroit.
1. The cultural minded should spend a day at the Detroit Institute of Humanities. The museum has over 60,000 artworks in their collection. The collection includes paintings by Cezanne, Degas, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Warhol.
2. Visit Belle Isle. An island park, found in the Detroit Brook, initially designed in 1883 by Frederick Law Olmstead. He was the designer of Central Park in New York Town. At the tip of the island, you will find an excellent vista of downtown Detroit.
3. Have a hot dog at Lafayette Coney Island. A "Coney" in Detroit is a hot dog covered in chili, mustard and onions. Lafayette is the very best in the city. Don't simply order a dog. Make certain to include chili fries and a coke.
4. On any particular Sat., visit Eastern Market. This is the farmer's market for local area. After perusing the impressive fruits, veg, meat and other food products, head over to the Russell Street Deli. The sandwiches and food can't be beat.
5. For those animal lovers, visit the Detroit Zoo. The Zoo is not found in Detroit correct. It is found a two miles outside of the town in Royal Oak. Over three thousand animals call the zoo home. Considered a cultural gem.
6. Now that the Detroit Tigers are contenders, take in a baseball game at the new stadium. After the game, make a journey down to the old Tigers stadium at Michigan and Trumbull. Marvel at the place where Ty Cobb once played. It may shortly be gone.
7. For what I call the ruins of Detroit, visit the old Michigan Central Station. It was built in 1913 and abandoned in 1987. It's the largest train station I have ever come across. You Can get a spectacular view of the building if you're coming over the Envoy Bridge from Canada. You cannot miss the building. It is the one that has no windows.
8. Take a trip over to Windsor, Canada. It is simply a short drive through the tunnel or across the Ambassador Bridge. Windsor has a nice downtown and many great cafes. The best Italian restaurants are found on Erie Street.
9. Make a journey to the suburbs. Just outside the town, visit Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Birmingham. They're all off the Woodward Avenue corridor. Each of these towns have a little downtown with unique specialized shops and restaurants. Each one is good for an afternoon of browsing.10. Further up the Woodward corridor, visit Cranbrook. An instructional community started in the early 1900's. It features architecture by Eliel Saarinen, Albert Kahn, Steven Holl, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien and Rafael Moneo. It's been called "the most fascinated and fascinating setting in America".
