Anyone have any suggestions for things to do Friday after the show? Maybe a good breakfast spot or lunch? Any sites we should see? Should we venture over to Windsor?
For breakfast/brunch, The Hudson Cafe is amazing...graham cracker crusted french toast and red velvet pancakes amongst many other choices! My favorite spot in Detroit is Green Dot Stables, a good spot for lunch or dinner...$3 sliders, $3 drinks. Roast is a really fancy restaurant in the Westin but to avoid the priciness, do happy hour there--great food and drinks for a tiny fraction of the cost of a meal!
I wouldn't pass up the Motown Museum either, assuming you like music. If you like art, the DIA is a beautiful museum. Have fun! I'd explore Detroit rather than Windsor
Thank you! Red velvet pancakes sound awesome. We will definitely check Hudson Cafe out.
Hudson Cafe is a good choice for breakfast/brunch for sure. If one is in the mood for a greasy spoon diner type, Ham Shop in Greektown is my go-to joint. Working downtown, I hit it up about once a week for the old "breakfast for lunch."
Tons of dining options in Detroit. Green Dot is a good suggestion, though I am smiling as I type this because we beat them in soccer last night to leapfrog them in the standings bwah ha ha. Jacoby's is a great bar with great German food/beer. If one is looking to eat downtown on their way to the show, I would suggest Sweetwater Tavern, Detroiter Bar, Pizza Papalis, Red Smoke BBQ to name a few. These are all good options that I regularly eat at and is also right at either the Greektown or Bricktown People Mover station that will take you straight to the Joe.

Skip Slow's and go across the street to Mercury Burger Bar... Slow's (IMO) has been on a steady decline over the past year or so. Hell, if you're planning on going over to Corktown to eat anyway, go to Green Dot Stables like many of us have already mentioned. It's on the corner of 14th and Lafayette.
Although, you'll probably cut up 280. I'm in south Toledo 2 more exits up. Lol

The pre-party Wishlist Foundation thing is at BW3. Anybody ever been to that specific location? Does it have an outdoor area that is cool to hang out in? Anybody consider it for post show or are the aforementioned bars a better plan?

Just had it for lunch. Some crazy brisket and cheese covered fries I had yet to try. Thumbs up.
Don't get in cab downtown without asking how much first. 90% don't run the meter
Don't park at meters. Tickets used to be $10. They are now $45
Don't leave your purse in your trunk. A lot of people know that Ford field and JLA has t e no bag policy and people are popping trunks. Leave under seat or don't bring at all
Don't get arrested if you do call A-1 Bail Bonds. Ten club discount!
Do Checkout Lafayette coney. Close to JLA and great coneys.
Also Bucharest grill. Closer to comerica park. Inside park bar get the Shwarma!
If going to a casino. Go to greektown. The people mover is inside the casino and it goes direct to JLA
Anyone other questions LMK
What about in Windsor? I'm staying at ceasars, any suggestions like good restaurants / bars there?
Try South Detroit on Ouellette Avenue. There are a lot of restaurants/bars in the downtown area of Windsor. So many more options than Detroit.
Although, you'll probably cut up 280. I'm in south Toledo 2 more exits up. Lol

Probably a 20 minute walk or just hop on the people mover at the cobo station across the street and get off at the brick town stop. Ask the concierge, they may have a map.

Packing some last minute stuff! Hitting the road from Brooklyn NY at 4AM!
Whoa! 10 hour drive on the day of the show! Yikes! I was being nosey - not sure what route you are taking but appears you will have some ramp closures and other mild construction - toll roads are no biggy. Drive safely! @-)
Oh please let it rain today.
