Mexicantown
Vernor Highway is a first-date stress test disguised as dinner. Taqueria El Rey, Mexican Village, Armando's, Los Galanes; pick one and commit, because debating venues on the sidewalk is its own red flag. Order the molcajete only if you are both comfortable eating with your hands in front of a stranger. Walk to La Gloria Bakery afterward for conchas and the kind of unhurried conversation a sit-down bill rushes. Clark Park works for a daytime second date. Avoid suggesting Bagley Avenue on a Lions Sunday unless you have already agreed that football counts as foreplay.
