<p>Which is when I will be going for a weekend.
No, not to a high school reunion like Grosse Pointe Blank- but to see a friend I haven’t seen in over ten years from when my youngest was little & to see a guy with a ukelele.
Yes, I am flying from Seattle to Detroit to see someone play a ukelele & it will be worth it.
( couldn’t get tickets to see him play Seattle 
)</p>
<p>But what else should I see, & where can I eat gluten free?</p>
<p>Yipes. Leaving a chance at sunshine for a weekend in Detroit? No advice for Detroit, because when I go there I huddle for safety in my hotel. Perhaps a wine only diet is the way to go, bring a bag of your own food and you’ll be set.</p>
<p>Now there’s some useless advice. Well, I hope at least you can get a direct flight for less than $600!</p>
<p>Check out the museums/DIA</p>
<p>What part of Detroit? We ate at the Al-Ameer last year in Dearborn and had wonderful middle eastern food. If you need a hotel on that side of town, the Dearborn Inn is lovely and not very expensive. I think we paid around $130 for a night and really enjoyed walking around on the grounds.</p>
<p>Idk that Detroit will be a hot mess in late June. The weather in June is Michigan is variable to say the least. It could be hot and humid and it could be cold and rainy. Who knows. It is usually warm by the end of June. The beginning of June can be colder but I wouldn’t worry about it. </p>
<p>Second the opinion to eat middle eastern food in Detroit. Detroit has the largest Arabic community in the US and has the best middle eastern food. Greektown is also fun if you get downtown. </p>
<p>Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are nice if you like history. Other than that, the big attractions are the casino’s. Going to Canada is popular also. I love to go out to Grosse Point and just look at the houses and Lake St. Clair. Beautiful out there. Don’t know what area you will be staying in.</p>
<p>Please ignore busdriver11.</p>
<p>There are all kinds of things to see in and around Detroit. The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are in Dearborn, which borders Detroit. The village should be lovely in late June, and if you enjoy history or historical buildings you can easily spend the day there.</p>
<p>The Detroit Insititue of Arts is great (recently remodeled). If you like baseball and the Tigers are in town, Comerica Park is a fun place to watch a game. If you like casinos, there are several downtown. There also may be festivals downtown on the Riverfront. Summer is really great in Michigan…</p>
<p>As to places to eat, what kind of food do you like (besides gluten-free?) The Whitney is a gorgeous restaurant near Wayne State - good food in beautiful old building. If you like barbecue-type food, try Slow’s. We used to go to the Rattelsnake Club, too.</p>
<p>Obviously cross-posted w/Deb. We think alike!</p>

<p>That is good to hear.
The reason why my friend isn’t having me stay with her, is because she doesn’t have air- ( not that we have it in Seattle either- but in Seattle you don’t need it)- but in late June it is likely to be in upper 50’s or at most 60’s in Seattle-. & I don’t do great with temp changes.</p>
<p>She also tends to the dramatic however, which is probably why she loves working at a psychiatric hospital.</p>
<p>I’m going to the Fox Theatre which looks close to Comerica Park. It would be fun to see a ball game where I don’t have an emotional investment in the outcome. ;)</p>
<p>I like most kinds of food- if not too heavy- not a big fan of tabbouleh, but I like hummus.
( I don’t know if I can eat bulgur or not- kind of new to this stuff)
I really like all kinds of Asian food- Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, but I can get that in Seattle. I also like West African - but I haven’t had an opportunity to try much from other regions in Africa. </p>
<p>I was also a HUGE Motown fan growing up & am going to see if she is interested in going to the museum
( she has offered to drive me around- isn’t that sweet? what can I bring her from Seattle that you can’t get in Detroit?)</p>
