Real Tips from Real Detroiters. No BS.

Detroit.tips was built by people who actually live here. We were tired of the same old tourist lists — the ones that send you to the same three places everyone else goes. So we made our own.

We’ve lived in Detroit for years. We’ve seen it change, grow, and reinvent itself. And we’ve watched the same generic articles get written over and over again.

We got tired of reading about the same three restaurants. Tired of travel bloggers who visited for a weekend and pretended to be experts. Tired of lists that were clearly written by someone who’d never even been to the city.

So we decided to do it ourselves.

100+ tips later, here we are. No tourist traps. No BS. Just the stuff that actually matters — from people who actually live here.

Honesty Over Hype

We don’t sugarcoat. If a place is overrated, we’ll tell you. If a neighborhood has issues, we’ll be honest about it. You deserve the truth.
