I don't know if I'm more embarrased that I actually took the time to count, or that I've only been to 48 of them...probably really only frequent 10. I like the idea of the list though... | ||

Does going to the Anchor 100 times a year count? I have been to only 29, so shame on me. Granted, I've been back in Detroit for only a year following a five-year absence in other lands. 'Course, I can't afford Seldom Blues. | ||

So far only 8 but that's just over the course of one to two 3 day trips per year. For example, last visit ate at Fishbone's twice, Lafayette, and Sweet Lorraine's three times (lunch/dinner). coming up this summer and plan on going to several new one's. | ||

19 different places, but like others here, I frequently visit the same place several times a month. I tend to always go to the same few places and nearly ALWAYS order the same food. How boring of me. I am keeping this list for the rest of the year and my goal is to check off at least ten more by the end of the year. | ||

I agree if we could have some time of rating system for frequenting a place numerous times throughout the year I had have as many visits as Jjaba has posts! Sporting Events - Coaches Corner (but please ad a couple more tv's instead of just over the bar.) Entertainment - Bouzouki...I mean Greektown Casino. Bar Food/Neighborhood Bar - Detroiter Bar! Dining - Small Plates Late Drinks - Delux Lounge Would also like to add a few more to the list this year, but always seem to go "where everybody knows your name and their always glad you came!" | ||

Ok, I went over it a little more closely, I've been to 59. Go ahead and omit the clubs, most of the expensive restaurants, and most of the new restaurants (as I don't often eat downtown), and I come up with 59. Now, if you want to go and tally up how many times I've been to those 59, I'm confident that my grand total would trump most of you old farts. | ||

Zero, unless I miscounted. But I can cook, buy 30-packs from Rite-Aid or Spartan, and only rarely go downtown other than transferring buses. From the lack of vehicular traffic downtown, my guess is that the downtown businesses bank on those who work there during the day or those relatively few townies who live that way. Outside of sporting events and occasional deviations away from the casinos, that is. BTW, only one casino--Greektown--made a profit in 2006, according to them. | ||

Jacoby's has new owners who have been running the place for about six months now I think. The place is largely the same with the same type of menu and beer selection. New staff, but they're friendly. The place seems a little cleaner, if that's possible, and there are some new flat screen TVs. Other than that, it's largely the same old German restaurant/bar. The place is always busy when I drop in. | ||
