“Stop by Dime Store for creative spins on traditional brunch fare and people watching.” Dig into a steaming hot bowl of noodles at Pho Lucky for lunch, and craft butchery meats at the beautiful Grey Ghost for dinner. Dime Store is located in the Chrysler House, a 23-story skyscraper in Detroit’s downtown Financial District, so there’s plenty to ogle at between bed and breakfast.

The Skip is located in the Downtown Bricktown area and offers whimsical cocktails (from frozen to craft!) in an artful setting. “It’s a perfect spot for stocking up on Instagram content,” the singer suggests.
