Detroit Pizza Tour - Best Pizzas in Metro Detroit

Detroit Pizza Tour – Best Pizzas in Metro Detroit

Inspired by a story on the best pizzas in metro Detroit, I have landed on a noble goal: get an accurate education in Detroit pizza. In my research on Detroit pizza, I was pleased to discover that Detroit is considered by James Beard Award-winning food journalist Alan Richman to be the 3rd best pizza city in the nation. Just behind New York and San Fran, and perhaps surprisingly (though not to me) above #4 Chicago. Little known to Detroit dwellers ...

More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

It was probably foolhardy to attempt a list of only five great metro Detroit corned beef sandwiches. We headlined the list “great” not “best” — because, as we acknowledged in the introduction, metro Detroit is full of places serving terrific versions of this indulgent sandwich. Nevertheless, so many readers wrote to rave about their own favorite places that we’re breaking with tradition and offering a second list. It’s only five more, so it still might not include your favorite brunch, diner or ...

5 Great Places For Topped French Fries in Detroit

5 Great Places For Topped French Fries in Detroit

Based on the Great Detroit Poutine Explosion of 2012, one would think that the gravy-and-curds combo is the only way to get one’s french fries topped in this town. Thankfully, for those of us who love a deep-fried tater, that is a complete and utter fallacy. Fries topped with goodies other than poutine are available all over metro Detroit, from Greek feta and lemon to a simple dusting of rosemary and sea salt. For five great topped fries big enough ...

Things to Do in Northern Michigan in Summer

Things to Do in Northern Michigan in Summer

When you hear Michigan, you probably think Detroit is not your first pick for a summer vacation spot. Drive North (and West at a point) as far as you can, and you’ve hit Northern Michigan, a whole other world within the state. My family grew up spending one week every August in Northern Michigan, particularly in Leland, Lelanau (fish town), and Northport. My parents loved the retreat this spot provided, and we now have a place up there. I looked ...

The Annual Detroit Burger Brawl

The Annual Detroit Burger Brawl

The annual Detroit Burger Brawl may well be down for the count after its main financial backer unexpectedly pulled out Monday. “We are exploring what we can get done as far as a new sponsor” to replace Fairway Packing Co., said Jeremy Adragna, co-owner of the Copyblot event-management firm, which launched Detroit Burger Brawl in 2011. “If we can’t find a new sponsor by Friday, then we’ll definitely have to call it off.” Fairway, a major meat supplier in Eastern ...

Pizza Papalis Detroit

Pizza Papalis Detroit – Another Stop on the Detroit Pizza Tour

Great things are said about PizzaPapalis, which has five locations in metro Detroit (seven if you count the combo Rio Wraps locations, where they have a limited menu in combination with wraps). This locally-grown, beloved restaurant, which started in the 80s, has ridden its popularity all the way to a location in Toledo. So I was excited to give it a try. Especially since there’s one not too far from my home. I must admit I never even noticed Pizza ...

DNR Outdoor Adventure Center

My family and I finally had a Sunday with no plans, so we decided to head down to the (relatively) new DNR Outdoor Adventure Center located east of downtown along the Riverwalk. What a great place to spend a few hours – especially on a cold/snowy day when there aren’t as many outdoor options available. The DNR Outdoor Adventure Center is located in a beautifully renovated building located along the Riverwalk. Detroit, a vibrant urban city known for its rich ...
