<\/p>\nAfter you are done\u00a0with the\u00a0party hats, champagne flutes and Happy New Year chants. New Year\u2019s Eve celebrating\u00a0will take its\u00a0toll on all of us where your stomach and some restaurants are not immune.\u00a0Ignoring the cravings will leave you feeling unsatisfied,\u00a0so there’s really only one choice, a coney island. \u00a0And for sure, Detroit has its\u00a0late-night options\u00a0more than ever for early a.m.\u00a0eats. In my opinion, Detroit Coney Islands are the pinnacle of Detroit\u2019s culinary creations serving\u00a0chili, onion-topped, and mustard-laced originals called the “coney dog”.<\/p>\n
But, if you were anywhere near Downtown Detroit looking for food after New Year’s Eve midnight, the place to be was definitely the Lafayette or American Coney Island on the corner of Michigan Ave. and Lafayette Blvd. Though a\u00a0Detroit Coney can be found throughout multiple\u00a0pockets\u00a0in the city, not all of them are created equal.<\/p>\n
On New Years at 3am from far and wide, hundreds of people came to the coney corner to do the same thing I had in mind and that was to sample the city’s most beloved. I even ran into other fellow Challenge Detroiter during those wee hours in the morning. You know who you are…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two of the most well-known Coney Island restaurants are the Lafayette Coney Island and the American Coney Island, which are located adjacent to one another on Lafayette St. in downtown Detroit. They have a common root, with the original restaurant having been established by Greek immigrant brothers Bill and Gus Keros in 1914. Thanks for the creation!<\/p>\n
