Attractions in Detroit
Detroit Institute of Arts
Several museums cluster in the area known as the Cultural Center, by Woodward and Warren Aves. Cream of the crop is the recently expanded Detroit Institute of Arts, lauded for its American collection. The centerpiece is Diego Rivera's mural Detroit Industry, which fills an entire room and reflects the city's blue-collar labor history.

Wright Museum of African American History
At the Wright Museum of African American History, the full-scale model of slaves chained up on an 18th century slave ship will no doubt leave you chilled. This pioneering museum, with an ever-changing schedule of exhibitions, is unlikely to leave visitors unmoved.

Cass Café
The Cass is a bohemian art gallery fused with a bar and restaurant serving hearty soups, sandwiches and veggie beauties like the lentil-walnut burger.

Cadieux Café
'It's beautiful to be Belgian', they say at this cafe, and in this case they are right. The Cadieux has been doing great Belgian food for years with all the classics like mussels and pomfrites and of course plenty of beautiful Belgian beer to drink. There's feather bowling available as well, which is Belgian-style bocce with some live music thrown in.

Baker's Keyboard Lounge
If jazz is your thing you should be at Baker's Keyboard Lounge right now. From the piano shaped bar to the roster of jazz greats, like John Coltrane and Art Tatum, that have graced the stage, Baker's is steeped in history — it's one of the oldest jazz clubs in the world — and still putting on quality gigs. The kitchen plays a nice soulfood tune as well.

Detroit Zoo
Opened in 1928, the Detroit Zoo was one of the first to have barless animal exhibits, developing a system of moats and other natural barriers to keep hungry lions, tigers and bears away from grandma and the kids. The Penguinarium is great fun but the Arctic Ring of Life with its 'polar bear tube', where the huge white creatures swim overhead is hard to beat.

Honest John's
Honest John's is a spiffed up dive bar owned by one helluva character named - wait for it - John. It does good, cheap burgers and has a legendary jukebox and comfy booths. If the sun is out, enjoy a beer on the patio with your newfound buddies. It attracts all sorts, none of them dull.

Motown Museum
The Motown Museum is a string of unassuming houses that became known as 'Hitsville USA' after Berry Gordy launched Motown Records here with an loan in 1959. Stars that rose from the Motown label include Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and Michael Jackson.

Xochimilco
Xochimilco is one of many places in Mexicantown, along Bagley St, which offers inexpensive, authentic Mexican food. Its solid menu of burritos and other standards has been pulling in crowds for years.

Henry Ford Museum
Few could ignore the historical impact of one of earliest artifacts of the 20th century: the first ever Henry Ford automobile. The museum remains much as Ford originally planned and is - surprise! - a massive shrine to the automobile and its impact on America. The Wienermobile used in 1936 by Oscar Meyer hot dogs is a particular knockout.

Apartment
With a heaven and hell theme, this is the spot in Detroit for dancing. Housed in an old piano store, the venue is now a techno hothouse. If ever there was a masquerade ball for the apocalypse then this would probably be the place.
