| What To Do In Detroit In June |
Soak Up the Summer Sun (Without Turning into a Melted Disco Ball)
Hit the Dequindre Cut Greenway: This converted railway line is your escape hatch from the concrete jungle. Rent a scooter and zoom past vibrant murals, or take a leisurely stroll and snap Insta-worthy pics. Bonus points for spotting a squirrel wearing a tiny Tigers hat (unconfirmed, but hey, it's Detroit!).
Catch a Flick at the Outdoor Cinema: Who needs a stuffy movie theater when you have a balmy night sky as your ceiling? Pack a picnic basket (complete with gourmet gummy bears, obvs) and snuggle up for a classic film under the stars.
Cool Off with a Coney Island Classic: Nothing says Detroit summer like a pile of chili, onions, and mustard precariously balanced on a hot dog. Grab one from a roadside stand and cool off with a Vernors (IYKYK). Just try not to wear it on your new shirt.
Feed Your Inner Art Buff (Even if Your Artistic Skills Resemble a Toddler's Finger Painting)
Detroit Institute of Arts: From Diego Rivera's masterpieces to Van Gogh's swirling brushstrokes, this museum is an art lover's playground. Plus, the air conditioning is a welcome escape from the June heat.
Heidelberg Project: This outdoor art installation is a vibrant explosion of creativity on Heidelberg Street. Take a walk through the neighborhood and marvel at the houses transformed into works of art. Just be sure to respect the artwork and the residents.
Catch a Live Show: Detroit's music scene is legendary. From intimate jazz bars to pulsating nightclubs, there's something for every musical taste. You might even discover the next Motown sensation!
Indulge Your Inner Foodie (Because Let's Be Honest, Food is Life)
Eastern Market: This historic market is a feast for the senses. Sample fresh produce from local farms, grab a gourmet grilled cheese, or savor a steaming cup of joe. Don't forget to check out the quirky shops for some unique souvenirs.
Bakeries Galore: Detroit knows its sweets! From flaky croissants to decadent cupcakes, there's a bakery around every corner waiting to satisfy your sugar cravings. Just remember, sharing is caring (but we won't judge if you don't).
Dine on the Detroit Experience: Motor City offers a culinary adventure. Sample soul food that warms your soul, indulge in upscale farm-to-table cuisine, or grab a delicious Coney Island hot dog (because, well, Detroit).
Remember: Pacing yourself is key. You don't want to be rolling out of town like a beached whale!
