Downtown Detroit restaurant PAO made People magazine’s 50 most beautiful list

PAO restaurant in downtown Detroit, noted for its Pan-Asian cuisine, recently received huge accolades for its interior design and space.

For People magazine’s 50th anniversary and its 2024 Beautiful Issue, the editors at OpenTable and People named “The 50 Most Beautiful Restaurants in America.” PAO landed at No. 22 on the list.

“Original details from the 1920s-era Detroit building combine with a new mezzanine and glass garage-style doors,” OpenTable said of PAO.

The collaboration sought out and chose the beautiful restaurants in each state noting them for many design aspects.

“These super-stylish stunners deliver unforgettable dining experiences,” according to People magazine.

“Located in the historic Michigan Oriental Theater, PAO Detroit has always been a special project for our team,” said Joe Barbat, chairman and CEO of Barbat Holdings, PAO’s owner. “This accolade not only highlights the restaurant’s beauty but also enhances the storied legacy of this iconic building in downtown Detroit.”

Lions offseason questions: Games to watch

Mike O’Hara: Week 13 vs. Bears

The Bears and Lions meet in the traditional Thanksgiving Day game in Week 13 at Ford Field, and again three weeks later at Soldier Field. I look forward to those two games for a basic reason. They play good, tough football. It’s part of the tradition of both teams. You can count on it.

Dannie Rogers: Week 6 at Cowboys

I’m looking forward to the rematch in Dallas. I know it’s a game circled on a lot of players’ and coaches’ calendars because of the controversial ending last season. Dan Campbell is still looking for his first win as head coach against his home state.

CBS DETROIT – Temperatures will remain in the 80s for the beginning of the week, with a few chances of storms.

There is a marginal chance of severe storms moving in both Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Be prepared for the possibility of heavy rain, wind gusts, and hail.

We could also see a near-record high temperature for Monday.

More chances for showers and storms arrive on Wednesday, but once that system moves out we will dry out and see cooler temperatures to end the week.

President Joe Biden speaks to Detroit NAACP dinner: How to watch

President Joe Biden is getting set to speak Sunday evening at the Detroit Branch NAACP’s annual Fight for Freedom Fund dinner at Huntington Place in his first visit to the city this campaign season.

Because it’s being considered a campaign event, the White House website won’t be carrying the event live, but there are a couple of places you can watch it, including here on freep.com, courtesy of a link from C-SPAN.

You can also watch it online at cspan.org and WYXZ Channel 7 will be carrying it live on its website, wxyz.com.

The speech to the annual dinner comes at a crucial time in Biden’s campaign for reelection with several swing state polls showing him trailing former President Donald Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election. Michigan is expected to help determine which man gets reelected in November.

Meanwhile, Biden is trying to shore up support among Black voters, who are vital to his reelection hopes. Earlier Sunday, Biden delivered the commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, a historically all-male Black institution, before traveling to Michigan.

Come back to freep.com for more coverage of Biden’s visit to Detroit.
