A Local's Guide to the Best Restaurants in Detroit | Bon Appétit

"Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasyis the only place downtown that captures predevelopmentTrue Romance/The Crow–era Detroit. Owner/raconteur /former high-level-Detroit- political-operative Larry Mongo purchased the lounge in 1985, mothballed it in 1996, then reopened it for Fridays only in 2007. It has an interior like a fever dream, the house band plays woozy covers of “Darling Nikki” and Kim Wilde, and the grilled cheese sandwiches are very effective belly alcohol sponges." - ByBen Hall
