Plus St. Patrick's Day Prep (and more)","description":" Detroit\u2019s favorite hyperlocal holiday meets peak cozy season in this Daily Detroit conversation between Jer and Mr. Friday himself, Devon O\u2019Reilly. Recorded for 313 Day, we dig into how to truly \u201cdo something Detroit\u201d \u2013 from Belle Isle memories to where to spend your time and money in the city right now.\u200b We start with the reopening of the Belle Isle Casino as a public event space, swapping stories about hot dogs, model boats, and why \u201ccasino\u201d never meant hitting the slots on the island. Then it\u2019s on to St. Patrick\u2019s Day strategy: the Corktown parade, why \u201cSaint Practice Day\u201d is ridiculous, and Devon\u2019s must-have drink list; plus how to make easy, affordable Irish comfort food like corned beef in the slow cooker, shepherd\u2019s pie, and stout-heavy stew.\u200b Foodwise, we get into the cheap and cheerful $10 New York-style halal plate at Halal Desi in Hamtramck as a true \u201cport in the storm,\u201d while Devon goes all-in on a special-occasion splurge at Prime + Proper \u2013 and wrestles with whether ultra-pricey steaks are really worth it in a world of diminishing returns.  They also talk oysters, Voyager in Ferndale, and mre.\u200b The episode wraps on \u201ccozy\u201d vibes, from the closure of Caribou Coffee\u2019s drive-through-only locations to the rise of Lucky Coffee and making better coffee at home, plus plans for 313 Day trivia and maybe even a future Hazen Pingree birthday party?
