As we approach our 75th birthday, we decided to look to the future with a new look, new content and a new attitude! is isn't your bubbie's JN (although she will still love reading it, too!) It's time for something new … Watch for our makeover in January. 56/PWFNCFSt L ocated on the second floor of a brownstone at John R and Woodward Avenue and named after the jewelry store that used to there, Wright & Company is a shin- ing example of Detroit's blooming restaurant scene. Aside from the fine dining menu, Wright & Company boasts classic architecture and is welcoming and rich with quality and style. Owners Dave Kwiatkowski (Sugar House) and Chef Marc Djozlija bring extensive expertise to the 120- seat venue design as well as the drink and food menus. International wines, specialty cocktails and craft beer complement a small shared plate menu with favorites that include Crispy Shrimp and Pork Belly Sliders. "Our menu is what we call 'composed small plates.' Generally, if you go out for tapas, you are getting a piece of fish or a few bites of cheese or a potato or something. At Wright & Company, you can expect a fully developed plate, just smaller than an a la carte portion," Djozlija says. Open since July of 2014, Wright & Company has a histo- ry of being very active in the Detroit community, participat- ing in events for the Michigan Humane Society, Children's Tumor Foundation and Variety, the Children's Charity. * MENU Not typical. Don't expect salads and dinner rolls with your meal. You won't miss them as the small plates are more than satisfying. There is a lot of talk about the Whipped Ricotta and the Liver Mousse. Yes, really. BAR Expect extraordinary cocktail combos from an ever-evolving menu. Peruse an exclusive list of ciders ranging from dry to sweet. Of course, there is craft beer and an array of red, white and rose wines as well as a list of proclaimed "baller" wines. BRUNCH Wright & Company recently added a three-course Sunday brunch served from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m., by reservation only.

The menu will feature pork belly, black ink squid noodles as well as surpris- ing things like slushies and soft-serve ice cream. Bad Luck Bar Bad Luck Bar is projected to open in November/ December at the Albert in Capitol Park. Major investors include Detroit Optimist Society's Dave Kwiatkowski, Marc Djozlija and former Sugar House bartender Yani Frye. Detroit Optimist Society is a food/beverage group that owns Wright & Company, the Peterboro, the Sugar House and more. Lady Of The House Revered chef Kate Williams spotted the former auto shop building at 2801 14th St. in North Corktown over a year ago and knew it was where she wanted to open her own restaurant. The unique structure, set to open this fall, will seat 40 diners and have a bar and a garage door that opens to a patio. Atomic Chicken Detroit The Detroit location is set to open at 6500 Woodward Ave. in November/ December. Atomic Chicken Detroit will have seating and is awaiting its liquor license. This is gourmet chicken with a heavy lean toward healthy. Detroit Shipping Company Look for this food hall designed space construct- ed out of 20-plus shipping containers to open in mid to late winter in the Cass Corridor. Detroit Shipping Co. will house five smaller restaurants, pop-up art space and two bars as well as a performance area. It's looking more like a desti- nation than a restaurant. ck c uc NEW IN DETROIT 2 0DUPCFSt o n t h e c o v e r Young Jewish professionals discovering Detroit Living R us.

"All the artists and creativity left New York when it became unaf- fordable," she says. Originally from Lapeer, Rutherford relocated to open her first business. A wine bar and retail shop, the Royce is located on the ground floor of the Kales Building at the corner of Park Avenue and West Adams, directly across from Grand Circus Park in Downtown Detroit. Recognizing a "lack of amenities other cities have in a downtown scene," she intends her shop to be an inclusive addition to the local residents, rather than a "Downtown destination" for those who dwell outside of the city's confines. Stepping inside the bright space on a sunny afternoon evokes the feeling of entering someone's spotless, welcoming and well-adorned home.
