“Artisan bread and craft coffee are not typically the first things that come to mind at the mention of Detroit,” said the editors at TastingTable.com. But the Motor City is “fast outgrowing its reputation as a food desert” and gaining one as “a burgeoning hub” of great eating. Anchored by a century-old market and a bakery famous for its loaves of scallion-dill bread, culinary Detroit now even has a small inn that offers cooking classes for foodie travelers.
Eastern Market Feeding Detroit since 1891, this sprawling market is a good first stop for a “sampling of the city’s artisan food vendors.” Stock up on Suzanne’s Granola, Corridor Sausage, and Grown in Detroit produce, then refuel at the nearby Russell Street Deli, a favorite brunch and lunch stop. 2934 Russell St., (313) 833-9300
