100 Things to Do in Detroit Before You Die

by Amy S. Eckert

Detroit enjoys a rich history, having forged the American landscape with sexy muscle cars and the toe-tapping rhythms of Motown. But there's more to love about Detroit than merely its history. And there's never been a better time to explore than today, as the Motor City buzzes with a spirit of renewal. 100 Things to Do in Detroit before You Die paves the way to a rediscovery of this great Midwestern city, revealing tucked-away gems like the Grand Trunk Pub and the world's oldest jazz club, Baker's Keyboard Lounge. You'll find in these pages a Detroit brimming with renewed energy, where young chefs innovate with urban farm-grown food and where manufacturing know-how crafts trendy Shinola watches. And since oldies really can be goodies, we've also included classic sights like the Ford Rouge Factory Tour and the Motown Museum. Whether you've lived in Detroit all your life and want to dig deeper or you're a traveler eager to discover the city for the first time, 100 Things to Do in Detroit before You Die will help you create - and complete - your very own Motor City bucket list

I was hoping for a few hidden gems; this book seems to cover places I could have easily found on a Detroit travel website.

Having lived in the metro Detroit area for about three years, I am always interested in reading these types of "insider guides" to the area. This one was an easy, engaging read, and I appreciated that the author blended interesting snippets of history with fun little vignettes Tomane her case for the top 100 things to do in this area. Her list is one I look forward to checking items off of.
