6. Historical game and grub: Cadieux Cafe - Detroit
The Cadieux Cafe is an old gem of a Belgian restaurant in Detroit renowned for its feather bowling. What's feather bowling, you ask? Similar to bowling, participants take several small balls and roll them down a lane, attempting to land closest to a small feather protruding from the ground. According to legend, feather bowling was originally a Belgian pastime, although today it is rarely played in Belgium and can only be found at one place in the United States- the Cadieux Cafe. Aside from the storied game played in the basement, the Cadieux Cafe is known for its steamed mussels and fantastic selection of Belgian beers. Frequently listed as a must-see restaurant in Detroit, even Anthony Bourdain stopped by a few years ago for an episode of his show No Reservations on Travel Channel.
