Live hockey is a blast even if you are not a sports fan.

Stay at the Ponchartrain, Book Cadillac, Bedrock, Marriot Renaissance Center, Marriot Henry Ford, Aloft, siren, Roost, downtown Courtyard...

Henry Ford museum is one of the best ever - it sounds like a bunch of old mustangs and tbirds but it's really the museum of the Industrial Revolution. Planes, huge trains, giant stationary engines, Thomas Edison's actual lab, Wright Bros' actual workshop, etc... Big hitters. Also consider Detroit Institute for Art.

Eat at the Caucus Club, Joe Muers, London Chop, or downshift to Vicentes, Grand Trunk Pub, etc...

awesome thank you (and everyone else) for the tips! This is great stuff

Even though neither of us are car buffs it sounds liek the henry ford musem is must-see so we'll definitely do that.
Neither of us care abotu hockey but I remenmber from my younger days going to a few thrashers games and they were a blast even if you didn't care. I can only imagine a red wings game would be even better. I'm just leery of the price; it's not like it'd break the bank or anythign but man even the dirt cheapest you can find would still run us over $200 for a pair. Maybe I"ll just get on stubhub that afternoon and hope for the best.
