"Le Petit Zinc, a popular French cafe and creperie in Detroit, is closing after just over a year in Midtown. Initially founded in Corktown in 2009, it became known for its sweet and savory crepes and big bowls of coffee and hot chocolate. The restaurant relocated to the Strathmore Apartment building in February 2018 but is now shutting down operations on Sunday, April 21, 2019. Owner Karima Sorel, who splits her time between Detroit and Paris, had to move from the original location in 2017 due to a landlord-tenant dispute. Despite the closure, there are hints that Le Petit Zinc may return in the future." - Brenna Houck
