01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Kresge Court is the café inside the Detroit Institute of Arts, set in an indoor courtyard where you can sit, plug in to the Wi-Fi and recharge between galleries. The menu covers signature sandwiches, soup, salads, shareable small plates and charcuterie, with coffee, espresso drinks, tea, wine and beer all day. It stays open until 8:30 PM on Fridays, so a late-afternoon museum visit can end with a glass of wine. For something quicker, the cafeteria-style Café DIA is on the first floor.
