I had a chance to check out Spritz Bar at San Morello. It's open in the evenings Thursdays through Sundays through Negroni Week (think end of September) on the ground floor of the Shinola Hotel.
The patio is on Woodward and the cityscape views are great. On a nice day, the vibes, as some might say, are immaculate.
If you’ve never had an Aperol Spritz, I suggest you try it.
As I know it, it’s Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of club soda over ice. Light and refreshing, good warm weather drink. Not too boozy.
As you can guess by the colors, orange flavor is the vibe. But not overly sweet (which I like).

An eagle-eyed listener sent word that on the first floor of the south side of Somerset Collection a Cartier location is set to open in Winter of 2026.
Cartier is a highly sought-after brand in the region, and the "Buffs" sunglasses are part of Detroit's culture (and lately, the University of Michigan football team).
Cartier at Somerset 📸 Shianne Nocerini
The closest official store location until now has been Chicago, though various boutiques and stores have them available locally like Optica (also in Somerset).
There are 30 boutique locations nationally listed on the Cartier website, not including Metro Detroit.
My two cents? It might just be me, but in my mind Black Detroiters made Cartier the big deal it is here. They even recently did a serious of partnerships with Detroit influencers. This should store should have been in the new Hudson's Detroit across from Gucci, or hear me out — on the Avenue of Fashion on Livernois. But I'm sure it'll do well at Somerset.
