Take the Amtrak! Probably only $5, and the station in Detroit is right up the street from Hopcat.

So what are you thinking, dinner in Ann Arbor and then we Amtrak back to the Hopcat near the train stop?

b_b  ·  3590 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No I thought you could take the Amtrak from Dearborn to Detroit if you don't have access to a car. Detroit and AA are opposite directions from me. I'll do one or the other.

Detroit it is! mk, where could we dinner? It sounds like Hopcat gets the vote for drinks afterwards.

If it's just five or six of us, I suggest one of these:

Green Dot Stables, Mercury Burger Bar, Gold Cash Gold, or Motor City Brewery.

I may be bringing a +1, I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Is your +1 a hubskier? I ask because I have a non-hubski friend that I'm in Detroit with.

Bring them along. We're no exclusive club. My wife might come. I'm not entirely sure she knows what the internet is.

OftenBen  ·  3586 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Not yet, but I keep trying to encourage her to make an account. She lurks sometimes Though!

Gold Cash Gold overrated and not conducive to a group get together. Tables on floor not great for that and the bar is kinda not big. Green Dot will have a long wait. Probably close to an hour for a decent size table.

I say Mercury or Motor City Brewery. Great Lakes Coffee has an interior space that would be great for a meetup, and has a bar with drinks and coffee. Hopcat I have not been to but am curious.

We could always hit the Bronx. Pool table, two juke boxes, cheap beers, dive.

    Gold Cash Gold overrated

I know you didn't have their ham and cheese.

Motor City brewery is my vote.

Yeah, really. When I read that, I said to myself, "Your attitude is overrated."

I had eaten at Selden just prior. I think that was my problem. That and I had that lame-ass peanut appetizer that surprised me by just being some peanuts hurled at a plate.

mk  ·  3582 days ago  ·  link  ·  

So you didn't eat the sandwich. You must eat the sandwich.

ecib  ·  3582 days ago  ·  link  ·  

If you'll promise me you'll order the peanut appetizer next time...

mk  ·  3582 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You'll ask for forgiveness when you eat the sandwich. You will curse your shameful words.
