Each month, the DDP shares a list of Downtown Hot Spots from metro Detroit local. Here are some of the favorite Downtown Spots from the DDP’s data director, Josh Long.

1. I end up at 7 Greens on Library street a lot at lunch. A good salad is the fuel I need. 
2. Queens Bar on Grand River and Farmer is my go to for Happy Hour drinks
3. Cannelle- The pastries are the best. I simply love this place and my wife loves it even more. 
4. Campus Martius Park- nothing beats grabbing food from a local restaurant or food truck and enjoying the sun in the park over lunch in the summer. 
5. Boll Family YMCA- great community atmosphere and you can’t beat the convenience. It’s easy to fit in a quick 1 hour workout and you can even take the People Mover there. 
6. Comerica Park- during the week, if there is an afternoon game, I like to grab a sandwich and then try to catch some of the game from outside the stadium. There is a spot where you can look through the bars near the center field fountain. The location is fun to be amongst the crowd.
