Food Scene

Best coffee in Detroit, maybe in the entire state of Michigan. Great breakfast pastries and sandwiches. I hang out here all the time when I'm in town.

Best pizza in Detroit and probably all of Michigan. Cozy little place for dining in but take-out is fine too. Can be long waits so call an hour in advance to ask about timing. And try the "Supino"!

Best late-night food in the city; Michigan-famous "Coney dogs" and fries with great people watching. This place is a Detroit institution and has been since 1914. Worth a visit if you're out late.
