I have a friend who's coming into town on business next week and I told him I'd pick him up from the Book Cadillac Hotel, give him a little tour of the city and then we'd grab a bite to eat.

I'm planning on taking him past the site of Tiger Stadium [[he's a baseball fan), through Indian Village and around Belle Isle. I'm open for suggestions on where else I might take him on a 1-2 hour drive.

Also, any recommendations for a food at a place that really says 'Detroit?' I've already thought about Slow's BBQ, but think that might be a little too cliche by now. I'd want someplace a little more upscale than a Coney Island, so that type of place is out, too. Other options you might recommend?
