Take a walk on Belle Isle or the RiverWalk on one of our unseasonably warm winter days. Eastern Market is a must-see, too, even if you don’t want to buy any food.
[Spot Lite](https://spotlitedetroit.com/) is a great place for dance music. Jazz heads frequent [Baker’s Keyboard Lounge](https://www.bakerskeyboardloungedet.com/) (the world’s oldest operating jazz club, by some accounts), [Motor City Wine](https://motorcitywine.com/) for its many artists in residence, and [Willis Show Bar](https://willisshowbar.com/). For some rock and punk, head to Hamtramck for the [New Dodge Lounge](https://www.thenewdodgelounge.com/), [Small’s](http://smallsbardetroit.com/) ...
... or [The Sanctuary](https://sanctuarydetroit.com/).
[Senate Theater](https://www.senatetheater.com/) and [Redford Theatre](https://redfordtheatre.com/) are always showing something interesting. [Detroit Repertory Theatre](https://www.detroitreptheatre.com/) and [Detroit Public Theatre](https://www.detroitpublictheatre.org/) each started a new season of performances recently.
For some art, check out [Dabls Mbad](https://www.mbad.org/), [Norwest Gallery](https://www.norwestgallery.com/), [The Heidelberg Project](https://www.heidelberg.org/), and any gallery on the Avenue of Fashion — the commercial district on Livernois Avenue south of 8 Mile Road. To learn some history, go to the [Detroit Historical Museum](https://detroithistorical.org/) (especially the “Detroit 67” exhibit, top floor) and [The Wright](https://www.thewright.org/).
If you’re into tabletop gaming, check if [Opal Grove Games](https://www.opalgrovegames.com/) has a game night going on.
And for fun events, the news outlet I work for publishes a [roundup of things to do](https://outliermedia.org/detour-detroit/) every Thursday. I’m biased, but it’s super helpful.
you’re seriously the best! gonna make it a point to check out these spots every time i visit! TYSM
