Definitely I will also visit a candy bar, try Bloody Mary devil’s eggs and appetizers or salads from all restaurants, of course I won’t forgot drink a Liquid Sunshine 😉😉😉but the time will stop for me at the Warda Patysserie, and definitely not only one sweet tooth will be satisfied lol.

I love your Detroit hit list, Ewa! I love that they left the old theatre at PAO instead of ripping out all the old features. Detroit is so good at that. I love that my dad calls orange juice Liquid Sunshine. .such a cheerful name. 🌞 Iggy's Eggies is awesome and I can definitely see why it's so popular with locals. A girl we met in line was really excited we were there and told us it's her favourite spot (she was bringing her boyfriend for the first time too haha). We're working on our next videos now!

The chandelier at Candy Bar is huge and really anchors the whole space. I also love the giant disco ball which apparently used to be in a nearby nightclub at some point. They've done an incredible job with the entire building and I love that they left a portion of the ceiling untouched at the entrance to show what it was like when they took it over.
