That Record Store you were looking for in Hamtramck is called Detroit Threads, not Record Time. It's definitely still there, he's got an amazing collection, very diverse, and definitely worth a stop-off. Also, don't forget Vibes, on 8-mile, its Rick Wilhites store, although you'll probably need a guide to get there, as its hard to find, and you have to be buzzed in, worth it though, as its one of the best house music stores in the country and def THE best Detroit House music store anywhere in the world.
Sushi at Oslo's is a good recommendation. And don't forget to get your coffee, muffins and red bull at the Urban Bean Co. This place was Blake Baxters old record store, and this place will be open 24-7 during the fest. They have turntables and programmed and open table times where people from out of town can hop on. The owner of this coffee shop, Josh Greenwood, is infamous in the city for his influence, through Push, Motormouth magazine, Dalley in the Alley and a few more. Def worth a stop-through. Corner of Grand River and Griswold, prob a 7 minute bike ride, and 15-20 minute walk from Hart Plaza, straight up Woodward to Grand River, go one block to Griswold.
