Detroit/East Side

The East Side of Detroit is home to some of the city's most prominent attractions, such as Belle Isle, a large island home to a day's worth of attractions of its own, and historic Eastern Market, the largest market in the United States. Much of the Detroit International Riverfront is located in the East Side.

Most of the attractions in the East Side tend to be near downtown or along riverfront. The rest of the area is mostly residential, but is also home to historic neighborhoods like Poletown and Black Bottom.

The East Side is home to some of Detroit's most unique attractions. The Eastern Market is the largest public market district in the United States.
