I happen to love football, drinks, and mexican food so OBVIOUSLY I would love to go some Mondays! This is right in my 'hood too.

Tonight I'm working OT but normally I'm out @ 7:30 so I'd be mobile around 8:30. What time is the happy hour deal??

I think it starts around 8 pm.

My margarita buddy and I will be there next Monday, for sure! Gotta check the NFL schedule, to see who's playing..

Me too. I thought I mentioned it already, but maybe not.

Cyprus Taverna in Greek Town was really good this past weekend, I had the fish, and the homemade pineapple cake was divine!!! Not too sweet, just right!

I have yet to find a place to fall in love with food wise here. Most of the times I have eaten out recently has been for not wanting home faire. Kind of functional. Don't know if that is because I eat alone or if it's ennui.

Hang out with me more often. I'll introduce you to many of the best places to eat in southeast Michigan. I live for good food.

Black Lotus

14 mile @ Main, Clawson

a combination coffeehouse/brewery/eatery...it gets mention because a) they sell McClure's pickles there ($9/jar and worth it), and b) from time to time they brew a Belgian-style ale that's over 13% alcohol. They'll only sell you 2 on a given visit. Food's pretty dang good, too.

Rams Horn at Masonic and Utica

It may be the aryan brotherhood of rams horn...(all the waiters are natural blondes?)

Fraser is known for that...

anywho...on Monday nights they have a magician come around to your table.

[Homicidalheathen]

oy I forgets there is a classic hot rod show there right now

The Lion's Den, in Waterford, is my favourite restaurant--EVER.

My second favourite is O'Malley's Galley, in Ortonville (formerly in Holly).

[Simon Bar Sinister]

2 items from the Pontiac area:

1) there's a coney island called Yiani's; it's in the Oakland Pointe (telegraph@Elizabeth Lk) shopping center. They do a flaming Polish sausage variation on the whole "Opa!" thing.

2) new Mexican restaurant: Mi Zarape, Opdyke@Square Lk. Fucking AWESOME.

Found a place for us Downriver sushi fans.

O-Samurai Sushi-Steakhouse, off of Eureka. Looks like a hole in the wall affair, but entering it it is nice, clean and polite. Fish was sliced directly off the steak and was of good quality. The eel was carefully manicured (no bones.) Rice was good, and the people (unlike some other places down here,) are quite polite. Sat at the bar and ran through $85.00 worth of sushi. They have a House Roll of eel, crab, and then cooked tempura style that was excellent.

And for those that don't like sushi, they have steak grills around for parties.

Ai Fusion in East Lansing

Mitchell Fish Market in the East-whatever mall on Lake Lansing Rd.

Golden Wok in East Lansing

and don't know if it counts as a "restaurant", but the buy & fry place on MLK near Holmes is unbeatable for fried fish & chicken wings. Run by three Iraqi brothers who apparently made a deal at the crossroads to learn perfect soul food cooking.

Chung's of Waterford

THE BEST, and most reasonably-priced, Chinese and Japanese food in the area-- bar none.

The menu is extensive, and the choices are nearly endless. The service is top notch. I cannot endorse this restaurant enough.

This place is the closest thing to an authentic Hong Kong dining experience I've had, outside of Hong Kong.

...and also the 1st place ever that I saw (and ate) lettuce wraps.They were at least a couple of years ahead of everyone else with that.

@pomba gira: is Udon Bakery still going? It's on Harrison north of the Breslin Center (or at least it was the last time I was there) and, every time my friends and I have eaten there, we were the only non-Asians in the place. awesome food, dirt cheap!
