Favorite restaurant in Detroit! Such a cool interior and some of the more interesting food I've ever had. Northern thai inspired. A true Detroit gem. Small, hipster, etc.

Drinks & Nightlife
If you're looking for a real going out night, this is the biggest & most-happening bar in Royal Oak. There are two floors (2nd floor is dancing), they also have a nice outdoor patio out front and lots of pool tables on both floors. This bar is on the dressier side and verging on a nightclub. A serious step up from O'Tooles or Woody's both located on the same block.

Good bar that is off the beaten path a little bit. (i.e. not located on 5th street where the 3 major bars are). Perfect if the "going out" scene of 5th street looks overwhelming. They show sports games too.

Parks & Nature
Awesome island in the Detroit River! it is the largest city-owned island park in the U.S.! 20 min drive from our house. My go to place to be in nature or on the water for the day not too far from home. It went through a rough patch, but the state now manages it and it is quickly returning to its former glory days!! There is an Aquarium on the island, a large conservancy/botanical garden/greenhouse, and the Detroit Yacht Club. Also a great place for an outdoor barbecue or family party!!

Shopping
Best/nicest mall I've ever been to! Only a 10 minute drive from our house. There are 2 sides. One is extra fancy with nearly all designer stores, the other is regular with all the classic favorites. Great restaurants on both sides, good food court on the regular side. A one stop shop!
