"While Paczki Day might be done and over (and we hope you got your fill yesterday), you can get paczki at New Palace all year long. Flavors include the nearly overwhelming list of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, apple, apricot, lemon, prune, Boston cream, chocolate Bavarian, butter cream, raisin, rose hip, plain sugar, and pineapple, but custard is the only one that really matters."

"April and Michelle Anderson’s bakery, Good Cakes and Bakes, was one of the very first businesses to reemerge on this once super-busy stretch of Livernois Avenue, just south of 8 Mile and Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, a great historical Detroit stop. Pastry chef April presents a slew of all-organic sugar bombs, including a St. Louis–style Lemon Gooey Butter Cake. The OMG bar—ganache, homemade (and perfect) marshmallow, graham- cracker bottom—is a s’more in a tuxedo."

"Pastry chef April Anderson recently remodeled the pretty-in-pink bakery and cafe, but baked goods are only available for delivery and pickup. Find treats here like St. Louis-style gooey butter cake, cupcakes, caramel cakes, vegan carrot cake and cookies as well as black-eyed pea soup and birthday cards in the online shop for delivery or pickup. Good Cakes and Bakes is also available through DoorDash, Postmates, and UberEats."

The cost: Prices start around $3 for an oyster up to $26 for entrees.How to order: Order online or snag a table on the first-come, first-served patio (there’s a casual “fish camp” menu with select beer, wine, and cocktails; you place your order with the host and then your food is served in recyclable paper and plastic. In an attempt to keep things safe, customers are asked to help bus their own tables)."
