Visitors to Detroit's riverfront will now have the opportunity to enjoy a meal at the RiverWalk Cafe.
Detroit-based Diamond Hospitality has been contracted by the
Detroit Riverfront Conservancy to operate concessions at Rivard Plaza, including the cafe as well as the carousel.
Daily, RiverWalk Cafe will offer snacks such as popcorn, peanuts, ice cream and fountain soda, smoothies, slushies and coffee drinks. Even more enticing are the items that will be rotated weekly, which includes a variety of sandwiches and salads as well as regional and ethnic specialties such as pierogi, pasties, spinach pies, samosas, and chicken and waffles.
The cafe will be open Friday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. After Memorial Day weekend, it will also open be Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Great Lakes-themed carousel will be open the same hours and will cost $1 per ride.
Diamond will also operate food concessions at Gabriel Richard Park on weekends and for special events.
