Cafe d’Mongo’s is almost impossible to try and explain. Located next to the old Detroit Synagogue downtown, it’s the kind of quirky dive bar that feels like it’s been around 100 years even though it opened in 2007. Between the small space, stiff drinks, and absurd amount of Detroit history and pictures on the wall, d’Mongo’s is the kind of place you want the bartender to know your name, even if you’re just passing through. Expect live music, some very friendly regulars, and to have more drinks than you planned to.

Start your night at Standby in Belt Alley with a cocktail that'll take a few minutes to make, or come later for some late-night gnocchi.

Review

Taqueria El Rey in Mexicantown is the first place to go for tacos in Detroit. Get the grilled chicken, some al pastor, and a beer. Repeated as needed.

Review

Detroit Institute of Bagels in Corktown looks like a yoga studio, but serves some of the best bagels in town - proof that life is all about balance.

Johnny Noodle King is where to go on West Fort for ramen - from classic tantanmen to gourmet "dorm room ramen" - and plenty of sake.
