When no less an authority on cool than the NY Post devotes a feature to
how cool it is to hang in Corktown, you know we're doing something
right. Detroit's own Nicole Rupersburg captures the wave of
entrepreneurial spirit washing over Michigan Ave., spotlighting new
businesses-to-be like The Sugar House Bar, Astro Coffee and the Detroit
Institute of Bagels. We also dug the article's "where to stay" travel
guide, which tells it like it really is. Take this profile of the
neighborhood's MGM Grand Casino & Hotel:
Excerpt:
The immensely appealing, Tony Chi-designed spa alone makes this one of
the best city hotels in the Midwest; an exclusive feel and masculine,
expensively-decorated rooms -- nicer than at many an MGM-owned hotel in
Vegas -- help matters greatly, as does the presence of two fine
restaurants overseen by Michael Mina. You should know, though, that this
hotel doesn't feel like it's in Detroit. This may be a plus for some.
We were first-timers once, don't worry. We get it. No judgments.
