Mexican section of southwest Detroit.
Authentic, delicious spot for Mexican food in Detroit. There is convenient parking across the street and the food is well worth it. Their prices are also reasonable and the margaritas are great. One of my favorite local Mexican spots.

In the heart of downtown Detroit, Campus Martius Park is a wonderful place to get into the holiday spirit. With an ice skating rink which you can access for $10 and rent skates for an additional $5. A row of shops offering holiday gifts and the centerpiece is the Cadillac Lodge, which is a giant clear beer tent adorned with leather couches, rocking chairs, wing-back chairs, high-top tables, giant Jenga games and several alcohol stations. We went on a Friday night and the entire area was bustling with people and the lodge had a DJ spinning music. Be prepared for large crowds and fun.

The ouzo flows and the souvlaki sizzles on Monroe Street, the center of an ethnic section of Detroit dominated by Greek restaurants and businesses.
Greektown is a historic commercial and entertainment district in Detroit, Michigan. Located northeast of the heart of downtown Detroit, along Monroe Avenue between Brush and St. Antoine Streets, it is situated between the GM Renaissance Center, Comerica Park and Ford Field. On game days, whether the Tigers or the Lions are playing, Greektown turns into Detroit's version of Chicago's Wrigleyville or the fan-mania that develops around Busch Stadium in St. Louis or Fenway Park in Boston. The district is dominated by Greek-themed restaurants and includes St. Mary Roman Catholic Church, Second Baptist Church, the Atheneum Suite Hotel and the Greektown Casino, one of only three gambling houses in the city. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The area was first settled in the 1830s by German immigrants. But most of them left in the earliest years of the 20th century and new Greek immigrants moved in. By the 1920s, the area was becoming primarily commercial rather than residential as Greeks established restaurants, stores and coffeehouses. Today, Greek music is played on Monroe Street throughout the day. Popular restaurants that draw locals and tourists include New Parthenon, Golden Fleece, Laikon Cafe, Cyprus Taverna, Pegasus Taverna, Pizza Papalis and Fishbone's Rhythm Kitchen Cafe. It's easy to get in and out of the area because the city's elevated downtown transit system, known as the Detroit People Mover, has a station at the Greektown Casino on Beaubien Street between Monroe and Lafayette.
