Our Best of Detroit 2021 list features more than 175 categories with winners from across the metro area. We wanted to celebrate in style after the year weβve all had, so we threw a party β kind of. We invited some of this yearβs first-place winners to (safely) stage the kind of swanky soiree weβre itching to attend. In the photos throughout this feature, youβll see them dressed to the nines at The David Whitney Building in Detroit.Μύ
Scroll down for more on these winners and to find out the other people, businesses, and places that made this yearβs list.Μύ
