BRUNCH // FEAT URE S OPPOSITE PAGE: Three-tier pastry tower from Marais. // THIS PAGE: Bananas Foster French toast from Beverly Hills Grill (top) and Monte Cristo from Sweet Lorraine’s. Savor a cup of Zingerman’s coffee, sip on a cocktail, and hang out. BROOKLYN STREET LOCAL (Detroit) is a great little spot to stop in if you find yourself in Corktown. There are a wide variety of locally sourced vegetarian and vegan options, and the diner feel helps fight off any note of preten-tiousness. People come back again and again for the poutine, a French-Canadian classic made with fries, gravy, and cheese curds. Head to THE WHITNEY (Detroit) for an unforgettable brunch experience inside an iconic mansion built in the late 1800s. The mansion retains its historic elegance and trans-lates that to a classic, elegant brunch. A prix fixe buffet includes a seafood bar, an expansive dessert and pastry list, and a carving station. A jazz club may not seem like the obvious choice for brunch, but CLIFF BELL’S (Detroit) offers up unexpected menu choices on METROPOLITAN DETROIT DINING GUIDE 2015 67
