Just hang out -Detroit

Detroit Highlights: Van Gogh at Detroit Institute of Arts + Divine East African Lamb Shank at Baobab Fare 💥 Detroit just served up two unbeatable gems—one for art lovers, one for foodies! From staring at Van Gogh’s real brushstrokes to sinking teeth into fall-off-the-bone lamb shank, this day was pure joy. Here’s why both spots need to be on your Detroit bucket list ✨ 🎨 “Casual Art Visit”: Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) – Van Gogh Left Me Speechless! I went in thinking “just a quick look,” but walked out totally (blown away)! 🤩 The museum is huge—we wandered for ages before finally spotting Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait… and it took my breath away. The texture of the paint, the bold colors, the little details you can’t see in photos—you have to stand there in person to feel its power. We lingered, looking at it from up close and far away, just soaking it in. And it’s not just Van Gogh! The DIA is packed with masterpieces from other great artists—every corner feels like a new visual feast 📸. Pro Tip: No need to book tickets in advance, but BRING YOUR STUDENT ID! It gets you a discount—save that cash for later eats! 🍛 “Casual Eats”: Baobab Fare – This Lamb Shank Is a Game-Changer! Right after leaving the museum, we dashed to Baobab Fare—and wow, what a meal! The braised lamb shank is NON-NEGOTIABLE 🍗. It’s so tender it falls off the bone with a fork, simmered in rich, fragrant spices that hit just right (not too spicy, just full of flavor). Pair it with their unique rice and signature sauce, and every bite is pure happiness—no overthinking, just order it. This isn’t just “good East African food”—it’s the kind of meal that makes you want to come back next week. #CasualWandering #DetroitTravelSpots #VanGoghSighting #ArtMuseumCheckIn #VanGoghOriginal #EastAfricanFood #BraisedLambShank #FoodieAdventure #TravelRecommendations
