Lots of restaurants and bars to enjoy
Downtown Flint still has the original brick street from decades ago. Several blocks are adorned with lit arches featuring flags. U of M-Flint has dorms at the end of downtown and there is always activity from the Crim Festival of Races to the Back to Bricks Car Show. You can visit restaurants and bars such as Churchill’s ( English Pub), Brown Sugar Café ( coffee and much more) The Lunch Studio ( homemade food served in a comfortable, cozy place) Rolls are Ready ( the best buns in town) 501 ( Upscale but unpretentious), Wize Guys ( pizzas and huge salads made to order) The Loft (small laid back bar with very low prices), Blackstones (Irish pub), Table and Tap ( the newest addition features beer and BBQ), The Flint Crepe Company ( fresh locally grown food used to make unique crepes), The Cork on Saginaw ( wine bar with food from one of the city’s best chefs), The Torch Bar and Grill ( best burgers in town), Masonic Temple Dining Room ( Homemade lunches and a Sunday All you can eat Chicken dinner) and El Potrero (fresh inexpensive Mexican food). Hope I didn’t forget any!! The Greater Flint Art Council also features a reception and art walk on the second Friday of each month.

Great restaurants and historical architecture!
It's great to see the development on Saginaw Street, and businesses coming to life there! There are several excellent restaurants, including 501, Blackstone's and Cork, as well as the historical Halo Burger. The arches over Saginaw Street, based on the ones that were there in the early 20th century, create a historical ambiance, and there are a number of well preserved historical buildings with great architecture, including the Mott Foundation Building, the Capital Theatre, the Patterson Building, and the Halo Burger restaurant. There are two distinctive murals downtown also- the Vernor's mural on the side of what is now the Greater Flint Arts Council building next to Halo Burgers, and the "Overflow Parking" mural on the side of the old Flint Journal building. There is a lot to see on a walking tour of Saginaw Street and downtown, lots of parking, and some great restaurants to eat at when you need to take a break!
