Corktown

The Corktown Historic District is largely residential, although some commercial properties along Michigan Avenue are included. The neighborhood contains many newer homes and retains some original Irish businesses.

Corktown is a trendy, youthful area with industrial-chic bars, intimate live-music venues, and hip breweries. Slows Bar BQ is a favored food joint, but there are also relaxed spots to eat Mexican and Japanese cuisine. Thrift stores, quirky boutiques, and second-hand record stores line the streets. The vast, derelict Beaux Arts building housing the Michigan Central Train Depot is earmarked for development.
