It’s awesome that Bev's Bagels and Supino Pizzeria are expanding to new locations – I've heard great things about them already! And Waka sounds like a game-changer for East African cuisine in the city... I don’t know much about it, but I love trying new foods. 
Can't wait to see what other amazing spots open up in 2026!
I'm so sure that these new restaurants and bars are gonna be a total game changer for Detroit's dining scene, but at the same time, I don't know if we're really ready for this level of change... like, what if some people just miss the old way of things? 
But on the other hand, it's about time we got some fresh options around here! 
And $100k from the state is a pretty sweet deal - I mean, who wouldn't want that kind of money to help make their dream restaurant a reality? 
Plus, it's gonna be awesome to see what all these new places come up with... Supino's in Beverly Hills? That's just crazy talk! 
. Like, I get it, we need some variety, but honestly, I'm not sure if Detroit is really ready for another round of trendy eateries. We already have too many hipster cafes and craft breweries. Can't we just stick with the good ol' fashioned diner food instead? 
And what's with all these new bars? Don't get me wrong, a cold beer is always welcome, but I'm not sure if Detroit needs another watering hole. Maybe I'm just old school, but I like the familiarity of my usual spots, you know? 
just kidding sorta. seriously though, i love that gardenside brewing is gonna have a brewery, farm-to-table restaurant, and bar - sounds like an amazing spot for foodies & craft beer lovers alike! 
! I'm loving the idea of Gardenside Brewing being a brewery, farm-to-table restaurant, and bar all under one roof. Farm-to-table is so on trend rn 
Can't wait to try out Bev's Bagels in Ann Arbor too 
I'm super hyped about all these new spots comin' up in Detroit! We're talkin' fresh faces, new flavors, and a whole lot of good vibes. Garden City's gettin' a sweet spot with Bev's Bagels, and Supino Pizzeria is bringin' that fire to Beverly Hills. And can't forget about the Baobab Fare crew spinning off into Waka – East African cuisine in the D? Yes, please! It's gonna be a wild ride for our taste buds, that's for sure! 
and it made me think about how much i love cooking, but honestly i'm really bad at it and can only manage scrambled eggs 
. ann arbor just got even more delicious with bev's bagels opening up there 
. bring on 2026, detroit's culinary scene is ready to shine 
I think it's awesome that Detroit is getting a dining revolution with all these new spots opening up! I'm super stoked about Sunda New Asian bringing authentic Asian cuisine to the city, and Waka sounds like an amazing way to introduce East African flavors to Detroit. Bev's Bagels in Ann Arbor will be a great addition too, especially since they're already popular in other cities. Supino Pizzeria expanding to Beverly Hills is a bit of a weird move for me, but I guess if you love their pizzas, go for it! 
The thing that really gets me excited is the $100k grant from the state, it's awesome to see the government investing in local businesses like Gardenside Brewing. I'm not sure when I'll be able to try all these new places out, but I'm definitely looking forward to exploring Detroit's food scene even more! 
and supino pizzeria expanding to the burbs is a total win 
. i'm also lowkey excited for bevs bagels ann arbor location, been meanin to try their bagels for ages 
. can't wait to check 'em all out! 
Gardenside Brewing sounds interesting, love that farm-to-table thing tho. Bev's Bagels is always a solid spot for bagels - Ann Arbor needs more of those. Not sure about Supino expanding to Beverly Hills tho, kinda too far from the city 
can't wait for detroit to get in on the bagel action 
. And Medusa Cucina Siciliana sounds like just what Midtown needs - a taste of Italy in the heart of Detroit.
I mean, it's about time the city gets some fresh flavors on the scene. You got your farm-to-table brews at Gardenside Brewing, your Asian fusion vibes with Sunda New Asian, and your Southern comfort food fix with Joe Louis Southern Kitchen. And let's not forget about Supino Pizzeria, a Detroit staple that's been serving up those famous thin-crust pies for years. Ann Arbor is gonna be lit with Bev's Bagels new spot, and I'm all about trying some authentic East African flavors at Waka! It's like the city is saying, "Hey, we're not just about Motown music and sports, we got culture too!" Can't wait to try out these new spots when they open in 2026
