New English Pub in the Metropolitan Building
On June 20, The Lone Goat opened its doors on the ground floor of Detroit’s historic Metropolitan Building, which is home to The Monarch Club and the Element Detroit hotel. Styled after a traditional English pub, it features classics like bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and Welsh rarebit. Want a cheeky pint? The central copper bar has 10 taps with a rotation of English ales and stouts, plus cocktails.

A Trio of Italian Delights Under One Roof
This new Bloomfield Hills spot, Hudson’s Place, is simultaneously an artisan pizzeria, a café, and a gelato shop. Just about everything else on the menu is house-made — pastas, salads, sauces, dressings, cookies and muffins (croissants are delivered daily by Cannelle by Matt Knio), and even the flavor syrups that go in the lattes. Signature pizzas include the basil-forward and meaty New Yorker as well as the Fig, topped with charred radicchio, Gorgonzola, sun-dried tomatoes, and spicy honey.
The Jackson Opens at The Village of Rochester Hills

With an art-filled interior drawn up by Jennifer Gilbert’s Pophouse design firm, it serves elevated plates like tuna carpaccio and chorizo-stuffed dates, plus steaks, pasta, seafood, and more.
