I enjoy sitting down at a restaurant and looking around at the art on the walls. A restaurant called Recipes on Crooks in Troy is a perfect example. This is a very small place and kinda hard to find but always has local artists work on the walls. I think this is a great idea and more restaurants should do this. It gives the room a creative vibe and even inspiration to the customers.
Recipes is a very cute place that serves breakfast and lunch. Kind of expensive but has great eggs Benedict and French toast as well as cappuccinos in really large cups. This is a one-room restaurant and every wall has artwork from an artist. The pieces are hung by bent spoons, which I think is a really cool idea. The art gives the room an atmosphere depending on the artist. I found it very interesting to eat my eggs and look around at the paintings or photographs.
A place my friends and I go to not only because they work there but because it is super cool is in Clawson called Black Lotus Brewery. This is a wonderful place to hang out and drink, eat and listen to live music, all while checking out local artists work on the walls. They brew their own beer in all different flavors according to seasons and have a small wine list. I usually get a fun wine spritzer and my friend Ally gets her beer with vanilla ice cream, which is apparently delicious.
Another cool place for local art is the Cass Café in Detroit on Cass Avenue. It is a very interesting and eclectic restaurant that serves an amazing menu with a full bar. It’s nice for Wayne students to hop over for a quick meal and drink before going back to class. They also have live music and local artists displayed on the walls. They have also won awards from the Metro Times, Best Bar Art, Best Bar for Conversations, and Best Bar to Take Friends From New York.
