This swanky art deco lounge offers great vibes, soul food and live jazz. A perfect place for a low-key evening. MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit) is updated often, so you can come back again and again and experience new art. There’s also a lovely cafe inside called Café 78 that has coffee, pastries, lunch and a full bar. The Dequindre Cut is an art-filled, two-mile-long path that starts near Eastern Market (easternmarket.org) and ends up at the riverfront. Find a MoGo bike station (mogodetroit.org), hop on The Cut and cruise.”

OUR CLUB CONNOISSEUR Lauren McGrier

Connect With Lo // Founder, TwerkXTequila • connectwithlo.com, twerkxtequila.com

Millennials love a themed party. TwerkXTequila combines great music, tequila and lowered inhibitions for an event that is a hot ticket every time. Initially launched in 2018, TwerkXTequila has quickly gained momentum, selling out its 2019 Cinco de Mayo party, for example, in just a day. Lauren knew she had a hit on her hands. Ever since, the event has become a popular pop- up in Detroit and has even taken place in New Orleans during the Essence Music Festival. When Lauren isn’t party planning, she likes to go to Flood’s Bar and Grille. “Flood’s is a Detroit nightlife staple,” she said of the city institution that’s been around for more than 25 years. “Most nights, it caters more to what I call, ‘the auntie and uncle crowd,’ referring to the Gen Xers and baby boomers who made the club popular. On Tuesday nights, however, Flood’s is a regular gathering spot for millennials. They have a great late-night happy hour from like 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., which is really cool because you can come late and still get a great, cheap drink.” Flood’s also has a legendary soul food menu. The macaroni and cheese is some of the best in the city. Lauren loves to hang with Amber Lewis, founder of Black Women Do Social, and Designer Hack’s Trice Clark, who puts on craft-based DIY workshops around the city where you can fabricate everything from hair accessories to home decor. She also spends time with the Detroit-based collective called The Whlgn, which hosts pop-up events in the city. Delmar Detroit (right) is on her worth-a-mention list, as is El Club. Delmar is a rooftop venue Delmar Detroit and popular summer spot, as are its neighbors Greektown and the bar Exodos.
