Detroit also has a couple Polish Baroque churches that are gorgeous that I recommend touring as well.

There are FIVE museums all together, including the Detroit Science Center. The DIA is one of the best art museums in the world and is free to Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county residents. The building also houses the Detroit Film Institute (weekly asteemed movies and a film festival. Truly excellent. Across the street, the Detroit Historical museum, and the downtown branch of the Detroit City libraries with an amazing genealogical collection. Finally, the new African-American History museum.

You missed the two biggest gems... right nearby (shared a parking lot) from the science center is the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA) and the Detroit Film Institute. The DIA is one of the best art museums in North America. The collection is remarkable, especially in Impressionist and modern art. Also, though a few miles down Woodward, is the Detroit Zoo. Fantastic.

I have lived in Detroit for 57 years and I have only eaten at Lafayette Coney Island. Hundreds of times actually after rock concerts. I have never even stepped foot in American Coney next door. That is because it is set up for tourists. There will be lines at Lafayette and open tables at American. That's just how dedicated the Lafayette consumer base is and they don't even have a public bathroom. I am actually headed there right now due to this video.
