A rejuvenated Downtown Detroit
At the heart of the revitalization of the city is downtown Detroit. This area has changed so much in the past ten years and is rapidly continuing to do so. People are starting to move back to the downtown area with the lure of urban living. The area has many new attractions and restaurants such as Detroit's Breakfast House and the Detroit Beer Company, for everyone to enjoy. You can also find many dance clubs, theatres like Fox Theatre, and sports bars (perfect for before or after a baseball, hockey, or football game) Also, downtown is the perfect place to catch the annual Freedom Festival and the Detroit Fireworks show every summer. The area is also not far from the Cultural District with great museums such as Charles Wright Museum and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Here is my list of the best Downtown Detroit attractions. Also be sure to check out my Detroit Event Calendar to find out about monthly events going on downtown.
