Detroit enjoys a rich history, having forged the American landscape with muscle cars and Motown music. But there's more to love about Detroit than merely its history. And there's never been a better time to explore, as The D buzzes with a spirit of renewal. 100 Things to Do in Detroit before You Die paves the way to a rediscovery of this great Midwestern city. You'll find in these pages a Detroit of immigrant chefs who draw on their native cuisines, where entrepreneurs sell jewelry made from old graffiti, and where the city's history comes to life from the seat of a kayak. You'll read about boutique hotels set within century-old architectural landmarks and their stylish cocktail bars. And since oldies really can be goodies, you'll revisit classic sights like the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Jazz Festival. Whether you've lived in Detroit all your life or you're a traveler eager to discover the city for the first time, 100 Things to Do in Detroit before You Die will help you create--and complete-your very own Motor City bucket list.
