Detroit By The Numbers: Detroit’s Bars and Restaurants [MAP]

How many places are there in Detroit to eat and drink? The Detroit Experience Factory tells us, and we map them!

If you ask Jeanette Pierce, the executive director of the Detroit Experience Factory, where to grab a bite or a libation, she’ll have an answer.

For a decade she’s tracked the growing number of bars and restaurants in downtown Detroit. Now, she’s adding the neighborhoods.

She shared her list with WDET, and we made a map.

Oddly enough, as of today, there are 313 establishments downtown. Get it, 313?!

Jeanette will join WDET’s Sandra Svoboda on Detroit Today to talk about the growing number of places downtown, how she’s tracking them in the rest of the city and a few of her favorites.

Also, tell us if we’re missing any! On Twitter: @WDETSandra or @WeKnowDetroit

To track how many you’ve been to, visit the Detroit Experience Factory for the Downloadable Checklists.
