Things to Do: Go to Greektown

Source

Greektown is a small part of Downtown Detroit with BIG personality. The Greektown casinos are your basic on land casinos. Free drinks while you are gambling, slot machines, card tables, buffets and more. It’s not Vegas, but if you are a gambler, it will work just fine. The restaurants in Greektown are really the hotspots. We went to Pegasus during our last trip planning trip and had a blast. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some house wine and some flaming cheese!

There are so many great spots it is sometimes hard to choose. I wish I could personally review them all, but our last trip was a quick one, so we will have to do with some internet reviews from Metromix Detroit.

New Parthenon – This old-school Greek-themed restaurant is open until 3 a.m. and attracts a big after-bar crowd throughout the week. The decor is 100% Greek for those who enjoy surroundings that match their meal. The flaming cheese is always a hit with groups and families

Pizza Papalis – Michigan-based pizza chain takes a stab at bringing Chicago-style pies to the Great Lakes State and does it well. The first Pizza Papalis opened in 1986 in the Greektown area of Detroit and now offers the same great pizza at nine locations statewide. The menu also features lasagna, chicken wings, salads and desserts.

Astoria Pastry Shop - The original Astoria Pastry Shop opened in the Greektown district of Detroit more than 30 years ago. Since then it has been serving some of the richest, European desserts to city residents, and more recently many guests of the Greektown casino. Have your pastries boxed to enjoy at home or take pleasure in the charming surroundings and enjoy your pastry with a gourmet cappuccino in the bakery's delightful cafe.
