"This 1928 masterpiece from the man who built Detroit, Albert Kahn, has an imposing art deco exterior made from Minnesota granite and Maryland marble, and an interior to rival any Italian cathedral. From the soaring vaulted ceilings, featuring an array of intricate, hand-painted patterns, to the sparkling mosaics by Hungarian artist Géza Maróti and gleaming marble on the walls, the visual inspiration here is endless."

"A landmark skyscraper, the Fisher Building is constructed with several types of marbles, granite and limestone and designed in an Art Deco style. With 21 elevators it consists of 30 stories with the roof being 428 feet tall, the top floor at 339 feet and the spire at 444 feet. As the building was originally covered in gold leaf faced tile it was nicknamed the Golden Tower."

"Whether you want a look behind the curtain at the home life of one of Detroit’s most famous families or to experience an impressive and authentic piece of period architecture, the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House is a must-visit. The son of Henry Ford and his wife moved into their home on Gaukler Pointe near Grosse Pointe Shores in 1929, and Eleanor gifted it to a trust for the benefit of the public when she died in 1976."

"No secret here, One-Eyed Betty’s lively Ferndale restaurant is an easy choice for beer fanatics. Known for its crispy fried brussel sprouts and bacon burgers, Betty’s also features 47 beer taps and an equally wide assortment of bottles and cans. The menu is divided roughly 50/50 between Michigan and out-of-state brews with good representation in each style category."

"One-Eyed Betty's popular weekend brunch menu features plates of fresh-out-of-the-fryer doughnuts. Mix and match powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, maple bacon, and peanut butter sriracha doughnuts and dipping sauce."

"The Ferndale bar known for its extensive beer selection, has an equally impressive whiskey menu, with over 100 whiskeys, bourbons, ryes, scotches, and even eight moonshines."

"When it comes to Detroit sandwiches, few have achieved the legendary status of the Boogaloo Wonderland at Chef Greg’s Soul-N-the Wall: a hoagie topped with beef, tangy red sauce, American cheese, and caramelized onions. This carryout spot’s signature dish pays tribute to an original recipe at the now-shuttered Brothers Bar-B-Q and to the late “Boogie Wonderland” songwriter Allee Willis, who happened to be a big fan of proprietor Greg Beard’s food. Right now, customers can call in orders for pick-up or place an order online for delivery through DoorDash."

"Some days (and nights) call for chicken and waffles in a completely no-frills space. This joint is sure to have a lengthy wait time, and the butter is of the not-actually-butter packet variety, but man do they have some happy-making chicken and waffles!. Crispy fried chicken and fresh-out-of-the-iron waffles that I drench, and I mean drench, in sticky-sweet syrup let me forget for a while the latest renovation woes."

"I haven't been to New Center Eatery in quite some time, so when I woke up CRAVING the chicken and waffles, I knew it was going to be a GREAT day!"

"Excellent Food, Clean Kitchen, Well Dressed Staff.It appears to be a family business that is taking pride in their work. 1st time, but will return.…"
