Wow, I am behind. The Detroit Lions. Lost last night and lost unfortunately when I was home for the Thanksgiving Day Game. I’ve gone to the Thanksgiving Day Game pretty much every year in my life, except for one when I was spending Thanksgiving in Hong Kong, visiting my friend S up there on the [...]

Thanksgiving Eve Parade Floats in Detroit

I believe my family has been doing this for four years already, one year is documented on City Mitten already and this year’s is being documented now. The night before Thanksgiving all the floats for the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade are lined up on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit ready to go. They block off [...]
Coney Wars in Detroit: Lafayette and American

In Detroit, “Coney Island” means something a little different than it does in New York and I just read all about it on Wikipeidia. Detroit chili is where it’s at, and that’s essentially what a Coney dog is – a hot dog with all-meat chili. And mustard. And onions, but I usually get mine without. [...]

Oh my goodness. What I would do. I love Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit. It’s practically the only place I get pizza when I’m in town. Maybe I should live a little and try new places but why fix something that ain’t broke? Buddy’s is the shiz! So we go there all the time. Above is [...]

Happy birthday, Mom! Okay, so it’s not my mom’s birthday yet, but it will be in a few weeks and I will be out of town so we decided to have a little surprise birthday party in the D for her this past weekend. Not sure if the *surprise* part ended up working as well [...]

I went home last weekend for about four seconds. Had a flight going out Friday night and sat on the plane for three hours before it was canceled. The earliest flight I could get on the next day departed at 2:40 p.m. So I ended up spending only a good 36 hours in Michigan. But [...]

What else do you do in Hamtramck after you have a Polish meal? Go to a Polish bakery! New Palace Bakery, in fact. Look at all the treats: Lots of donuts, paczkis, cakes, cookies, angel wings, whatever. Soooo many treats. I really should have gotten a paczki cause I’ve never had one! Instead I bought [...]

Oh, Detroit. Sometimes I feel like I know so little about you! I went to Hamtramck this weekend for some real Polish food. I’m 50% Polish and it was my first time there. Polish Village Cafe is in the basement of a house. In Detroit. AWESOME! It was all Lynn’s idea and Lynn just got [...]

Hello. That’s me. And my house in Michigan. My little sister is totally crazy and fun and wears weird things so I bought this awesome hat for her in New York and now she’s refusing to wear it. Everybody was shocked. Even her best friend thought it was weird, cause the hat is obviously awesome. [...]
