Greektown
is located less than half a mile from the Renaissance Center
in the downtown area. It comprises only a few city blocks,
with Monroe Street at the center. The neighborhood is a popular
restaurant and entertainment district, having many restaurants
that serve authentic Greek cuisine, as well as one of the
city's three casinos, Greektown Casino. Certain buildings
on Monroe Street are themed to resemble the Parthenon, Pegasus,
and other forms of Greek architecture. Greek music is also
played on Monroe Street throughout the day. Well known restaurants
include The Laikon Cafe, Cyprus Taverna, New Hellas Café,
Pegasus Taverna, and Pizza Papalis. The Detroit People Mover
has a station at the Greektown Casino on Beaubien Street between
Monroe Street and Lafayette Boulevard. The Greektown Historic
District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
