Here I’m presenting a combination of my experiences from the Detroit, Michigan, areas — only my favorite parts, of course!
Detroit is very close to the Canadian border, so if you have your passports (or other valid ID) with you, you can simply drive through the tunnel and go shopping in Windsor, Canada. We enjoyed our shopping experience!
This is always our first stop when we arrive. We absolutely love the food and the atmosphere! There’s always a modern twist to the seasonal menu. Each dish I sampled was amazing, but I’m still thinking about the French toast with strawberry cream.
Besides the cuisine and ambiance, Soul Café is something special and unique — well beyond a typical eatery. It’s a project of the Friendship Circle of Michigan that was founded by Rabbi Levi and Bassie Shem Tov nearly 30 years ago and now has about 80 locations across the world. It’s an initiative overseen by the Chabad of Greater Downtown Detroit.
Friendship Circles assist and support people with special needs as well as their families. The special-needs servers and support staff at Soul Café were trained in jobs in the food industry. There’s also an art center attached to the café that provides the special-needs community with art classes and a studio. I was in awe of the entire experience.
