Detroit travel tips
Experience Polish heritage near Detroit
Going to Hamtramck near Detroit, you can expand your mind in terms of culture. This place has always attracted immigrant communities, usually Polish Americans. You can still celebrate the Polish heritage here with the annual Paczki Day. Visiting Polish Village Cafe on 2990 Yemans Street, you are unlikely to thank a chef for mouth-melting stuffed cabbage, pierogi and mashed potatoes because he speaks only Polish.
Spot Detroit's oldest black congregation
Located on 441 Monroe Street in Detroit, the Second Baptist Church is one of the oldest black congregations in the USA. It was created in 1836. The church was an important stop for African-Americans to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation.
Have a stroll around Hart Plaza in Detroit to catch interesting free activities
If you walk around Hart Plaza in Detroit at weekends, you will likely come across at least one free festival and concert. Located there, the sculpture of Joe Louis' mighty fist is a good place for funny photos.
