Longtime eateries and shops reflect Grant’s deep community roots
Grant includes restaurants that not only serve delicious food, but each carries their own bit of local history. "Marcus Hamburgers is pretty much a local landmark around there. It's been around for a really long time," says Mario Como, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Kee Realty SCS who grew up in this area. In fact, the famed burger joint, with its original Marcus Burger, has been satisfying appetites since 1929. Motown Cafe & Grill, named after Detroit's iconic music genre, serves up sandwiches, burgers, seafood dinners and more. Towne Club is Detroit’s original pop -- as in soda, for the non-Midwesterners -- shop, offering an assortment of quirky flavors, such as Michigan Cherry, Honolulu Blue Cream and Tiger Citrus Punch. Venture inside Detroit's oldest bar, the Two Way Inn. Founded in 1876, this bar comes with some interesting local history. While sipping cocktails, patrons might see the ghost of Col. Philetus Norris, a Civil War veteran who built the bar, or perhaps the "Lady in White," a specter who is believed to be his daughter. No need to be alarmed-- the bar is considered by its patrons to be spirited in a warm sense rather than a scary one. Residents can find quality items while shopping at Joe Randazzo’s Fruit & Vegetable Market, which has been providing produce to the region for decades.
