Inn Season deserves a hearty second - it's been around forever, and they really 
do an amazing job.
It's been there so long that I can't really remember for sure in which decade I 
discovered it  - but I think it was the late 70s.

Not vegetarian, but I would add Thang Long in Madison Heights (on John R , 
maybe 1/4 miles south of 12 mile on the west side of the street in an older 
strip mall) as an essential visit if you like Vietnamese. I do, I've eaten in 
many Viet restaurants, and I'd say it's the best Viet I've eaten - BIG push on 
fersh herbs!

Two other vegan/vegetarian-friendly restaurants:

In Ferndale, on the northbound side of Woodward, between 9 and 10
Mile: Om (http://www.omcafe.com/). If you go Friday night, get the
barbecue seitan special. When I lived nearby, I got it every week,
unless I was physically incapable of getting there. Wouldn't know
about the fish, but everything on the menu is either good or
excellent.

In Royal Oak, off Main Street: Inn Season (500 E Fourth). Mostly very,
very good.

Such good pastry...another fantastic pastry pick is the mexican bakery
in (duh) Mexicantown. They have this great cafeteria-tray setup where
you go around & pick stuff out, and you end up with this massive brown
paper sack of baked good for like $2.50.

This one's a bit controversial. The restaraunt across from the DIA, in
the basement of the International Center, always had a couple of
different curries every day. They got pushed out with higher rent, and
a new owner came in with basically the exact same menu. I haven't been
there in a few years. Last time I was there the food was still great

being a vegan foodie my biggest things are finding actual good  
food to eat while in the D.


so. can't forget Avalon Bakery! Cass Ave right by Planet E.

lots of vegan carbohydrate delights there and the best coffee in  
Detroit [organic, fair trade]


Blue Nile - Ferndale, MI - a staple of techno tourists - prix fixe,  
but don't order more than necessary because you can't take it with you


Oslo [walking distance, Woodward] - there will probably be plenty of  
parties there, of course


Royal Oak - Beirut Palace for their delish falafel, hummus and their  
big fat juicy fatoosh... and orange / carrot juices [yum!]
La Shish - in Dearborn [if you're passing by the airport] or Warren  
if you're near Roseville Record Time


Sala Thai - in the burbs on Lafayette near Woodward  - and buy some  
Gap t-shirts while you're at it


Marathon - cheap ethiopian in Windsor, ON - might be easier / cheaper  
to take the bus from there.
Don't take a German techno artist [Monolake], a man of Arabic descent  
[Sharif], a white girl [---], a Filipino girl [---], a white guy that  
got turned away at the border [me] and a black guy [Archetype]  
without a passport or ID through the border and expect not to be  
hassled.


If memory serves me right, there's some indian food to be had  
downtown, but I only stumbled into it and have yet to see it in the  
last 2 years for some reason.


Go to Ann Arbor, like Diana said for Zingerman's, but don't get a  
ticket while doing so.. and say hi to Carlos!


--

Go to Cranbrook. And wish that you had gone there instead of Ohio  
freaking State


Throw eggs at the dealer at New to You [W. 9 Mile, Ferndale - on the  
same strip as ex-Xhedos + ex-Record Time]
he's a crook, sits on overpriced gear forever -- he's another guy  
that you should say "you can't take it with you" to..


Sadly, so much of what made Detroit, Detroit  is gone.. [detroit

Ferndale Record Time will be closed by the end of this month, sadly.

Check out Rick Wilhite's Vibes New & Rare Music shop - don't know what 
the hours will be that weekend.


Madison Heights Nature Center - if you need to take a walk in the woods 
in the middle of urban sprawl.  Maybe a bit of a drive from Harts 
Plaza, but its really a nice spot.  In the short time that I have lived 
here, I've come to love it.


And second the Soul Skate - that was great last year!

Couldn't agree more about Vibes, it's tricky to find but well worth the visit. 
Best to call in advance to check that it's open though.

If you're on the second hand records tip then People's  near the university is 
a bit closer (even a goodish walk from Hart Plaza) and has lots of disco, house 
and electro on occasion as well as the soul, jazz, funk that you'd expect. A 
great shop.

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.

Record Time -- My favorite store was in Hamtramck because it's on a
nice little High Street, but I think it's closed, and only the
Ferndale and Roseville stores remain.




Make that the Roseville store; Ferndale is scheduled to close real soon 
and if it's on schedule still, will not be there by fest-time.

Heidelberg Project -- a great DIY folk art surreal outdoor junk
sculpture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_Project

Fisher Building -- The Tower Peanuts Built.   The lobby is like a
secular art deco temple to capitalism.  A peak Detroit experience was
visiting Bill Van Loo's office, and going out onto a little balustrade
many stories up.  I was scared to death, and it was irresistable...

A ride along the River Rouge on Jefferson -- start about at East Grand
on Woodward and promenade west past the RenCen and out to River Rouge
(the town) or Ecorse... a depopulated urban wasteland west of
downtown.

Melodies and Memories -- Submerge is a great place to shop for techno,
but Melodies and Memories has a ton of stuff all over the stylistic
map.

Record Time -- My favorite store was in Hamtramck because it's on a
nice little High Street, but I think it's closed, and only the
Ferndale and Roseville stores remain.

Oh, and Google Street view has photographed much of Detroit!

That reminds me - go to Kenny Dixon's Soul Skate on the Saturday night if you 
want to get a bit more of a taste of Detroit. It was great fun last year

Woodward N. of downtown.

So what are the things to do while I am in detroit during the festival
weekend (except for being at the festival)?

I know of...

submerge, record time (i dont know where it is).

What is a good geographical tour?

What places are worth going to? (I am a gear freak, love analog stuff
and used gear... maybe some music gear shops?)

Thanks yo.

If you hit up Submerge try to check out the little techno museum/exhibit on the
2nd floor.
