Top 10 Takeover kicks off its 11th year: How to get tickets for dining series at Leña
And with that, the popular Top 10 Takeover dining series featuring these restaurants is kicking off.
The dining series is in its 11th year showcasing the top metro Detroit restaurants and dining experiences named by Detroit Free Press dining critic Lyndsay C. Green.
What's unique about each experience is diners get an exclusive and personal interaction at the restaurant or establishment. Typically, the experiences take place as a private event and, at times, when the restaurant is closed.
Starting Thursday, ticket sales kick off for the first stop in this year's dining series: Lena on May 1.
Seatings are at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and diners will enjoy a four course, chef curated meal at Leña, a Brush Park neighborhood spot.
Leña, with its Spanish influence and wood-fired cooking, landed in the No. 2 spot on the 2025 Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Top 10 New Restaurants & Dining Experiences.
'When a restaurant draws inspiration from a particular country or region, it can be difficult not to veer into kitschy territory,' wrote Green. 'Leña, the new Brush Park neighborhood restaurant with Spanish influence, strikes a beautiful balance.'
Tickets for the meal are $90 per person and include a uniquely curated menu, gratuity, and tax.
Since the inception of the dining series, the Free Press and Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers have maintained a charitable aspect. That effort continues this year with $3 of each ticket sale donated to Forgotten Harvest to help fight food insecurity in metro Detroit.

Subscribers should check their email at noon on Thursday for a link to ticket sales.

Nacha's Payments Innovation Alliance Releases Spanish-Language Resources to Help Prevent Consumer Financial Fraud
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nacha's Payments Innovation Alliance, a membership program bringing together diverse global stakeholders seeking to transform the payments industry, has released three new Spanish-language educational resources to help financial institutions inform and protect Spanish-speaking consumers from common financial scams. The materials aim to reduce exploitation by raising awareness of mobile scams and 'money mule' activity. All of the resources were created by the Alliance's Consumer Financial Exploitation Project Team. The first is an infographic, '¿Alguien le ha enviado dinero? ¡Usted podría ser una mula de dinero!' ('Has Someone Sent You Money? You Could Be a Money Mule!'), which is designed to help consumers identify when they may be unknowingly facilitating fraud. It illustrates how fraudsters manipulate individuals into transferring illicit funds—often exposing them to serious legal and financial consequences. To complement the information in the infographic the team created a video, 'Dinero facil, no existe. Tu preudencia es tu mejor proteccion' ('Highway to Easy Money? Think Again.'). This video provides another engaging format to raise awareness about how to avoid becoming a money mule. The discussion guide, 'Manténgase seguro y tenga cuidado con las estafas móviles' ('Stay Safe and Watch Out for Mobile Scams'), is an easy-to-follow piece covering key tactics used by fraudsters, carried out via smartphones. It provides clear, actionable tips to empower mobile users of all ages to protect their personal information and stay vigilant against these increasingly sophisticated scams. 'These resources help financial institutions educate Spanish-speaking community members on common financial scams,' said Jennifer West, AAP, AFPP, APRP, Senior Director, Payments Innovation Alliance, Education and Accreditation. 'Providing clear, accessible information in Spanish strengthens fraud prevention by reaching more people.' All resources were designed to be easily shared on financial institution websites, at branches and through digital communications. They are part of the Alliance's ongoing commitment to help financial institutions educate and protect consumers from financial scams.
