1. Supino Pizzeria
I love pizza so much..I'm a pizzavore!!

we got the san gerino, which…More »

Detroit, MI 48201
(877) 569-7246
Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhoods: Midtown, Cass Corridor
Best solution to the hour waits at their dine-in location. No matter how good their food is I have more important things to do than waiting for an hour plus for a plate of food.
The to go menu is smaller. but it might help the indecisive people like…More »

I came here on a tuesday for brunch. from the outside, the cafe seemed hole-in-the-wallish to me. but as soon as i walked in i was a bit overwhelmed with this faux-euro style decorations and slightly fancyness. I showed up in a goofy sweater and my…More »

Italian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Royal Oak
This place was the turning point of the day. It turned my day from whatevers to AWESOME.

7. MotorCity Casino Hotel
worst casino i've ever been to. nothing impressive. all very cliche and the machines were old. i can just smell death in the air. gross.
8. Movement - Detroit Electronic Music Festival aka DEMF
one of the best electronic dance events i've ever been to. what's better than great music and decent concert-goers?
I'm torn between liking and not liking the lack of organization. liking it because it wont hold up the line for too long once you get…More »
9. Que Huong Restaurant
I've been coming here week after week for their #16 noodle soup (shrimp, quail egg, green onion, sweet bbq pork with egg noodles and rice noodles). Try it, you'll never want to go back to regular pho again.

10. Emagine Theatre
coming to this place on the weekend nights it's almost like going to china, crowded, loud, and bizarre.
first many yelpers have already mentioned: it's pricey. so if you are like me who tends to be broke at the end of the month then choose your…More »
11. Shiro Restaurant
This is the most white-washed sushi place i've ever been to. The food is actually good. I love how the location feels slightly haunted, reminded me of THE SHINING.
i wish the had REDRUM sushi though. but no. all the sushis were conservatively made. it…More »
12. Bi Bim Bab
It's a pretty decent balance between quality and quantity, a teeny bit on the quantity side but still pretty good.
two things that kinda bothered me: a. it's a bit hard to understand what the waitress was saying. and she gets a little too chatty.
b.…More »
13. Thai Diner - CLOSED
the pad thai was fine. the pad sew was burnt and gross. this is place is cheap and hole-in the wall-ish. nothing impressive, and it was actually more on the forgettable side.

the seats are old and you might not be able to get in the theatre right away if you show up early. but they do play some bombass movies there. and if you mention you are a student you get a discount like that.

i'm one of those that judges a book by its cover, and its texture. so if i don't get turned on by a book, i won't read it. This place definitely has books that can "turn me on". The owner is this hippie old lady and her two loss prevention staff are…More »
