This destination for seafood lovers is located off the main Nine Mile drag on a residential street. Customers at Voyager can count on the raw bar with one of the freshest rotating selections of oysters around. Order a few to accompany dishes such as peel-and-eat shrimp with Old Bay and comeback sauce or the smoked fish dip with scallion bread. The building is small and seating is very limited, so arrive early or expect a wait.

After a long day of exploring the city, you’re going to need a drink. And what better to accompany that drink than some live music. Cliff Bell’s is a legendary jazz club, dating all the way back to the 1930s, and it still carries that roaring vibe with its nightly performances and classic cocktails.
