Detroit’s culinary gifts to the world may not be numerous, but every Detroiter is lost without an occasional Coney Island Dog, served with heaps of chili and diced onions. Open since 1917, American Coney Island has a retro diner feel to it that the grandchildren will love, as you all chomp down on some chili dogs and cheese fries. Located centrally in the downtown area, you can walk it off with a stroll to Hart Plaza a few blocks away. Not the healthiest meal on the planet, it’s an indulgence that nonetheless screams Detroit and can make for some of the most curious people-watching on the planet. Who needs Nathan’s when you have American (and its adjacent Lafayette)?
