Time Out Magazine names Corktown one of the 50 coolest neighborhoods in the world

[iheartthed]

Detroit's Corktown has made the list of coolest neighborhoods just released by Time Out, the famous urban culture and entertainment guide:

Corktown, Detroit

The energy in Detroit has been building over the past few years, and the best place to experience that buzz right now is Corktown. With its strong Irish heritage, Detroit’s oldest neighbourhood is now the place to be for craft cocktailing, vintage shopping and checking out some of the city’s most up-and-coming chefs. Packed full of everything from freshly baked bagels to craft coffee and Thai-inspired cuisine to slow-roasted BBQ, Michigan Avenue is a great place to start your adventures. But make sure to veer off the main strip to discover rainbow-coloured Victorian homes, quirky little shops and historic pubs.


EAT Hometown hero Kate Williams still holds court at Lady of the House. Brunch is a highlight here: get a massive stack of pancakes for the table with smoked maple syrup.


DRINK Sip handcrafted cocktails at Two James Spirits, Detroit’s first distillery since Prohibition. Order a sweet and spicy Dr Strangelove made with the house spirits: Doctor Bird rum and Dos Jaimes Joven mezcal.


DO Corktown’s shops are stuffed with unique goods. Score vintage finds at the Eldorado General Store and Mama Coo's boutique, flip through vinyl records at Hello Records and Underground Vinyl and sort through four storeys of secondhand reads at John K. King Used & Rare Books.


STAY Boutique hotel Trumbull and Porter is full of local art, including Michigan-made furniture in all the rooms. Party [[or sleep) like a rock star in the Rolling Stones Suite: a refurbished version of room 132, where the band stayed way back in 1964. —Samantha Lande
