July 6 • 2017 37 jn news Brass Rail Pizza Bar recently opened in Downtown Detroit at 18 W. Adams St., just blocks from Comerica Park. Brass Rail Pizza Bar offers a mixture of specialty pizzas, sand- wiches, salads and pastas, along with 52 beers on tap and a selection of scotch, bourbon and wine. The venue seats up to 220, with an addi- tional private dining room upstairs with capacity for up to 120 guests. Some of the restaurant's signa- ture menu items are Wakey Wakey Pizza, which includes mozzarella, sunny-side eggs, home fries, bacon, black angus strip and egg (essentially steak and eggs on a pizza) and the Margherita Pizza, which includes buffalo mozzarella, parmesan, heirloom tomatoes and basil. • New Pizza Place Downtown The beach and lawn at Campus Martius Park is open for the 2017 season, offering a relaxing setting with comfortable seating from the park's generous partner, IKEA. Also, in addition to Downtown Street Eats, which fills Cadillac Square with a rotating selection of food trucks every weekday, lunchtime visitors can also enjoy food and beverages from Fountain Detroit, the park's unique ship- ping container restaurant that premiered last year and quickly became very popular. Featuring casual open-air dining, this urban beach-side, full-service restaurant and bar offers a variety of frozen drinks, specialty cocktails and craft beer, plus its own creative spin on grilled paninis, burgers, salads and appetizers. The Beach is open daily from 6 a.m.-10 p.m., Downtown Street Eats runs from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. weekdays with live mid-day musical performances by local Detroit artists noon-2 p.m. on two stages — one in Campus Martius Park and one in Cadillac Square — through Oct. 13. Fountain Detroit hours are Monday- Wednesday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Friday- Saturday, 11 a.m.-midnight; and Sunday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. • Downtown Detroit Beach Party Backyard Party Options Graduations, birth- days, showers, b'nai mitzvahs and more are all great occasions to celebrate. Rather than going to a res- taurant or banquet center, the growing trend with families is to have back- yard parties that are fun and with a less formal feel. Fun foods and treats available from Redford-based Detroit Popcorn Company include hot dogs, snow cones, slushies, cotton candy, pop- corn, pretzels, nachos, a large assort- ment of candies, ice cream and all the accessories needed like popcorn season- ings, nacho warmers, rental machines, a large selection of cups, glasses, theater-style popcorn boxes, raffle tickets, aprons and other party favors. For 94 years, Detroit Popcorn Company has been well known for making indoor and/or outdoor parties and celebrations fun and easy. The company, which is owned by David Farber of the Bill and Audrey Farber Foundation, recently increased its supply of all types of rental machines to meet the grow- ing demand for parties.
