Hey....all you Wayne Staters & pre-Comerica Park Hipsters: Holler back if you were ever a Sunday morning breakfast regular at Cappy's Place - Park Shelton Building, across from Institute of Arts.

Holla.
I ate at Cappy's now and then when I was at CCS. I had always heard the place was shut down a few times by the health department, but that was before I started going there. Seemed alright to me. This is when Utrecht was over there, before they bought Charrette's and moved into that space, and made my walk for supplies a little longer. |

Oh yeah, Holla back if you enjoyed a nice jumbalaya at Z's Place before WSU tore it down to build their bookstore. |

Here's a holla. I spent many a Saturday in the '80s and early '90s having breakfast at Cappy's, especially when I lived in the Park Shelton.
My favorite was the special with eggs, pancakes and sausage.
And Z's was okay, but Verne's was my favorite.

Yum! |

You Folks Rock.....Nice that you mentioned Utrecht too - loved that place, so did my children: "Daddy, I need clay...and paint...and paper....and a frame" - - - you get the idea. |

Oh yeah, forgot about International Institute. They had some tasty little dishes, if you even knew there was a cafeteria downstairs. A hidden little treat. |

On Warren, a few doors down from Marwill's, wasn't it the Ice Cream Co. that had those kickass, loaded baked potatoes for, like, a buck? |

Used to work in the Wayne State area. Co-Workers and I would go to Z,s for lunch. The jambalaya was good and so were the fried chicken wings.
Did they reopen anywhere else? |

Z's moved north to Piquette and is Z's Villa.
Right behind Mr. Mike's on Woodward.
Seems more busy nowadays than it ever was. |

Holler: many a breakfast there at Cappy's Place in the 80's. Usually after a serious night of partying the night before. We all got to swap stories and see who slept with who the Saturday night before. |

I always think about checking out Z's Villa on Piquette.
How is it? |

pre russell street I would go to Cappys and the coney king for breakfast with my family at least once a month I loved there french toast. Those were the day.
Davetroit- Z's is pretty cool shuttle to games, outdoor volleyball and seating, as well as decent pizza and I have heard good things about other food there. Plus it is usually pretty quick, compared to most other establishments. |
