Park · Downtown

@eater

"Right outside the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel and nestled in the middle of the downtown landscape, Lafayette Greens is an urban garden and public green space. The Greening of Detroit grows organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers here, creating an environment where visitors are surrounded by vibrant and lush nature pollinated by bees and butterflies. The park also holds educational sessions, tastings, and a farmers’ market. What to eat: Grab a classic coney from Lafayette Coney Island or American Coney Island, soul food from Savannah Blue, a chicken sandwich or savory crepe from the Hudson Cafe, and a bottle of red from House of Pure Vin." - Monica Williams
