Chinese Restaurant to open in Chinatown
...or at least what used to be Detroit's Chinatown. Dave Kwiatkowski of Sugar House in Corktown, Wright & Co. in downtown, Café 78, a soon-to-open restaurant in the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and Honest John's fame is opening a Chinese-American restaurant on Peterboro and called The Peterboro at 420 Peterboro.
Even with all the restaurant openings in the old Cass Corridor, this one seems like a good move to me. First off there is very little choice for Asian food, Shangri-la and Go Sy Thai being the exceptions, and secondly there is room for parking, something that is increasingly becoming an issue.

Nope, not Chinese owned. Their chef, however, is Brion Wong-- formerly of Brooklyn, NY, then Antietam Detroit. My guess is it'll be Chinese-Asian-Fusion-Farm-to-Table, and likely in the $50 range for dinner for two. No hope at all of any $10 [[or even $15) carry-outs from that place.

What I find more interesting is the shipping container food hall, ShipYard Detroit, going in behind them at 747 Peterboro. That'll apparently be five different [[yet to be determined) cuisines, plus drinks. Sometimes these sorts of places [[I've been in other cities) also have games like shuffleboard or bocce for example.

Now, about that parking ...
Another food hall, from different developers/owners has been proposed for Gratiot across from Eastern/Central Market on the Stroh's or Busy Bee warehouse property.
