Architectural Digest: A Creative Renaissance Breathes New Life into Detroit
Snooty Architectural Digest chimes in with somewhat of a rich folk's guide to slumming in surprising Detroit. It appears our grit is officially co-opted. Hopefully it will attract the well-heeled to buy into Detroit chic and spending their dollars here.
Got money? Here's a snippet on how to do Detroit.
Quote:
Down the street, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit [[MOCAD) is boosting the area with an education, outreach, and research initiative it has dubbed Detroit City; the museum also has a first-rate in-house restaurant, Café 78, run by chef Marc Djozlija and mixologist Dave Kwiatkowski, the duo behind downtown’s hopping gastropub Wright & Co. A block north of MOCAD, the N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art, established in 2010 by veteran gallerist George N’Namdi, has one of the world’s premier collections of work by African-American artists. For lodgings in midtown, Beal recommends the DIA–adjacent Inn on Ferry Street, comprising six restored Victorian-era homes and carriage houses.
Another midtown anchor is Selden Standard, a buzzy eatery whose rustic fire-roasted cuisine nabbed a 2015 James Beard nomination for chef Andy Hollyday. He previously ran the kitchen at Iron Chef America winner Michael Symon’s Roast, which opened downtown in 2008 and, Hollyday observes, “really elevated the food game in this town.” Stellar meals can also be had at the new Gold Cash Gold, occupying a converted pawnshop in the Corktown neighborhood and serving refined Southern classics. And in the Eastern Market area, the black-and-brass-accented Antietam is earning raves for its French-inspired menu, while Trinosophes, a café and art gallery, offers fresh fare from Detroit’s urban farms.
