Would you rather dig in the record bins at shops like Hello Records, Found Sounds, Third Man Records or UHF? Make time to pick up some vinyl, then visit the historic Motown Museum. Catch your favorite musicians at the Fox Theatre or The Fillmore.
Feeling active? Rent kayaks on Belle Isle and venture out onto the Detroit River. Feel the need for speed at the new Lexus Velodrome. Love automotive history? Both the Detroit Historical Museum and The Henry Ford offer look at Detroit’s iconic past.
When the guys get hungry, head to Buddy’s Pizza for Detroit-style pizza. We recommend the Detroiter, of course. Don’t leave without taking the Lafayette vs. American Coney Island challenge for best Detroit Coney dog. Dine top notch at Roast or snack as you wander Eastern Market.
Take a local distillery tour. Taste your way through whiskey, gin and rye at Two James Distillery, Valentine Distilling Co. or Detroit City Distillery. If craft beer is what your crew craves, hop from the ample tap list at Midtown’s HopCat, to the bar and packed shelves of 8 Degrees Plato. Try a sour ale at Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria & Brewery and sip a Ghettoblaster at Motor City Brewing Works. Stock up on your favorites as a souvenir.
