Weekend in “the D”

This past July, I had a long weekend in Detroit with my brother and a couple of his friends from Traverse City.  Staying in the Marriott, across the street from the Renaissance Center, we made full use of all that downtown Motown had to offer.  This included two Tigers games at Comerica Park where we enjoyed the Camacho Cigar Bar at the stadium and saw the Tigers beat Minnesota twice.  Dinners were found at the Pegasus in Greektown and at Jacoby’s German Biergarten on Brush Street.  We discovered the recently opened 1701 Executive Cigar Bar on Cadillac Square and enjoyed its hospitality one Saturday evening.

During our entire stay we used public transportation in the form of the People Mover, a couple of cabs, and a lot of walking.  We saw a lot of great architecture while exploring the town on foot.  Detroit is a great place to visit, especially if you are guys on-the-town for a weekend.
