Detroit Adventures

With so many Detroit restaurant openings over the last year, it’s been hard to keep up. Fortunately, we had the chance to explore some newsworthy spots that lived up to the hype. Mootz Pizzeria dazzled our taste buds with their authentic New York pies and gnocchi, while San Morello pleased with its atmosphere and cocktails. The most unexpected find on our Detroit adventure was PAO, an Asian-inspired restaurant housed in the historic Michigan Oriental Theater.
