Hey Detroit! It’s Ebony JJ Curry and I am a Detroit girl through and through! To live, work, eat, and play in downtown Detroit has literally been such a monumental experience for me. When it comes to downtown you get the best of all worlds – my worlds consist of all things style, laid-back yet sophisticated vibes, fun, lively, and just an overall good time. Here’s some of the favorite spots that fits in my world here in Downtown:  

  • Downtown Detroit Restaurant:
    • The Stratler. It’s a French-American vibe – the food is amazing and the staff are grade-A and not to mention they never miss when it comes to crafting the perfect French75 which is my all-time favorite cocktail.
  • Downtown Detroit Cocktail Lounge:
    • Monarch Club. Such a sophisticated yet laid-back and stylish vibe – they just get me! The drinks are impeccable, and the views are amazing.
  • Downtown Detroit Lunch Spot:
    • Central Kitchen. This is my go-to lunch spot from the music to the service, well crafted drinks and can’t forget about their addicting rosemary fries and garlic aioli!
  • Downtown Detroit Retailer:
    • Spectacles. For decades Ms. Zana just has gotten the concept of style and honey, I must confess that I am a true fashion connoisseur and a style influencer, so Spectacles just adds to my flair! 
  • Downtown Detroit Experience:
    • Summertime in Downtown Detroit is an entire experience within itself honey!
  • Downtown Detroit Hotel:
    • The Shinola Hotel. With both San Morello and the Evening Bar this is my go-to hotel right on Woodward that offers me everything I may think I need!
  • Downtown Detroit Activity:
    • From concerts to plays, Lions games, comedy shows, all of the bars and restaurants, but nothing beats the spirit of our people – there’s nothing like Detroiters. 
  • Downtown Detroit Scenery/Outdoor:
    • The Belt. Such a dope outdoor vibe through all seasons.
