"My first goal for the weekend is to marry Nimah. Second is to get people to Detroit." - Andrew

If you’re able, we’d love for you to make a whole experience out of your time in Detroit. We’ve made an illustrated map with some of our favorite places to help you get around, and also highlighted some (optional) things to do on Saturday (see below). Don’t worry if you can’t do it all -- you’ll have a reason to come back once you fall in love with the city.
