 Riot of Fresh Food |
2934 N Russell Street Detroit, MI 48207 United States +1 586 393 8800 http://www.easternmarket.org |
Since the 1890s, farmers have brought their goods to market every Saturday at this area along Gratiot Avenue on the east side of downtown Detroit. The huge, semi-enclosed market has expanded into a six-day-a-week festival of food, drink and merchandise. A small artist/loft community also has sprung up among the warehouses. You can buy everything here from fine cheese, imported wines, honey, meat and spices in the unpretentious specialty shops that have sprung up around the central market area. On Saturdays, the action starts before dawn and the bargain hunters come late. On the first Saturday in May, the market hosts Flower Day, the largest flower market in the United States. Expect wonderful, cosmopolitan chaos in this Old World-style, authentic and unglamorous area. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pulsating Center of Nightlife |
Monroe Street Detroit, MI 48226 United States |
In the lean years when downtown Detroit was moribund, Greektown was the only place alive at night, so it's only fitting now that as Detroit revives, Greektown is the jumpingest place downtown. What once was one block of nearly identical Greek restaurants has expanded into a throbbing center of restaurants, clubs, shops and a casino. The indoor mall, Trappers Alley, was an earlier attempt to update the area. The increasingly upscale but still affordable Greek eateries and bakeries, with their succulent baklava and other pastries, still provide the anchor for an increasingly diverse area.
