I am going to Autorama on Saturday with my wife and in-laws and was curious as to where to go to eat lunch?
I don't want to walk too far [[supposed to be cold and crappy and I'm being a pussy) from Cobo Hall, 4 blocks and something that isn't too expensive [[say $12.00/pp not including drinks).
Does anyone know if you can re-enter once you leave?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Andiamo is in Cobo. It took over what was once known as Coleman's Corner

Other choices include Wah Woo's Chinese and Sushi, the restraunt on Larned in 150 W Jefferson, Cobo Joe's and a Coney with a Bar on Congress.
I like Wah-Hoo at Shelby and Congress. The service can be iffy [[younger servers), but the food is good and the drinks are GREAT. They have sushi and Chinese food. Same sushi menu as Fishbone's.
For cheaper food, you could walk over to the Anchor Bar on Fort St. [[near Washington?) for a burger. It's good and super casual. There's another bar, Mac's on Third St. I haven't been there in a while, though.
If you walk a little bit up toward Campus Martius there's Fountain Bistro, Foran's, Woodward Coney, Zeph's Coney, American and Lafayette. The Dime building has a Pizza Papalis/Rio Wraps, and also in that area there's a Jimmy John's and Mr. Pita.
Don't forget Cobo has a people mover station. You can get to most of downtown without walking too far. It won't be as crowded as it is for the auto show.
Want atmosphere [[and ok food)?
Anchor Bar at Fort and First.
can take peoplemover to Courtyard Marriott [[Millender Center stop) across from Ren Cen - used to be sweet lorraines, now just called courtyard cafe and bar.
I always take a few $1 McDonald's dbl cheeseburgers or McChickens [[no mayo of course) & a couple of bottled waters [[1 frozen) in my backpack! Works for me!!!
If the Blue Star Cafe on Congress is open, consider it. It is in the Marquette building, which is right across from the Northeast side of Cobo. Homemade food/meals that change daily for 7.95, which includes a main course and two sides. May not be open on Saturday.
Greektown has an array of restaurants including Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
Each station listed also has closet restaurants around the station

Go to Riverfront Appts, park inside, eat lunch at Signature Grill and get your parking validated.
Then walk to COBO. Anchor Bar is a great spot as well
Wah Hoos if you wanna walk to somewhere close, great chinese dishes too, not just the sushi.
Cobo Joe's across the street, but it will be packed. Or People Mover up to the Broadway station and go to Detroit Beer Company. I also like the burgers in the backpack idea!
Get your hands stamped and take the People Mover to some place like Greektown. If you do it right, you'll never be outside.
Take the People Mugger over to Greektown, LOTS to eat there and you can hit the Casino floor too! I really like Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Fishbones is good but expensive.
Thank you all very much for your suggestions. I'm leaving now and hoping for a great!
I didn't know Andiamo's was in Cobo, but I think a small walk will suffice to show the in-laws a bit of Detroit other than through a car window.
what? the 8 dollar shoeleather burgers at cobo not good enough? :)
