Michigan Central's new 'Fridays at the Station' party series kicks off with DJ, live jazz
Detroit's newest cultural hub just got a little more fun. On Friday, April 18, The Station at Michigan Central will kick off its new monthly event series, Fridays at the Station. A celebration of Detroit's vibrant music, food and cultural scene, the inaugural event will feature legendary jazz bassist Marion Hayden and her band in collaboration with local DJ ameera haynes, known for her eclectic, vinyl-based sets. 'When you think about Michigan Central and the development of an ecosystem, you think of all the players in that world, and I think Detroit has a unique opportunity to create these dynamic interactions between artists, engineers, technologies and investors,' said Catherine Kelly, Michigan Central Head of Communications and Editorial. 'We're really focused on building that idea, so we've developed this concept of unexpected collaborations. I'm from Detroit; I grew up in Detroit, I've been in journalism most of my career, and the cultural legacy in Detroit is so valuable. It's an asset that we don't lift up enough, so we really looked at this as an opportunity to explore and create that mashup, that tension, that energy that comes from collaboration. 'In this instance, we're working with Marion Hayden, who was just named Kresge Eminent Artist, and she has a huge legacy in the city of Detroit. ameera is so fun, and we thought, here are two significant Detroit artists from two different generations, approaching the music and sound from two different perspectives, in an opportunity to explore their similarities and their differences.' Marion Hayden: Detroit jazz bassist, educator named 2025 Kresge Eminent Artist ameera said she's excited about working with Hayden. 'The roots of the music that I really love are tied to jazz,' she said. 'Most of the time, when you think of a DJ, you think of dance music and things like that, which I generally do play as well, but I'm more of an eclectic, open-format DJ. Jazz is a genre that's really close to my heart, and the biggest part of jazz is being improvisational, creating new sounds, trying new things. That's very much how I DJ, in philosophy. 'Tonight, you can expect a lot of songs that you may not have heard before, that may become your new favorites. You may hear some that are near and dear to your heart. It's a collaboration between electronic music, using turntables and vinyl and mixing, and the freedom of jazz. There'll be certain parts of the set where we're playing together, almost melding and creating something new.' She called her inclusion in the event 'an honor.' 'I'm really excited about me and Marion being the first to kick off this event,' she said, 'especially as two Black women musicians in the city of Detroit, creating a space and bringing together community so that we can reflect the true heart of the people who live here. I'm really honored and blessed to just be a part of the experience.' Friday at the Station runs from 5 – 10 p.m. on Friday, April 18, at The Station at Michigan Central, 2001 15th St., Detroit.

Based on your favorite U.S. president, here's a food to try
The White House has 132 rooms. It has 28 fireplaces, a bowling alley, three elevators, a movie theater and a jogging track. To most, it's a palace full of amenities straight from the Plaza Hotel. Nothing's cooler about living in the White House, however, than having access to five personal chefs. Or, at least, I think so. Our political leaders, on the other hand, often pass on the gourmet, European-inspired meals in favor of things ... less complex. This Presidents Day, then, let's look back at what our most iconic commander in chiefs really liked to eat (we'll even make a game out of it!). Based on your favorite U.S. president, here's a food to try. Abraham Lincoln was the king of simple foods. While many leaders of the time indulged in stuffed quail and slow-braised short rib, sources say Honest Abe enjoyed nuts, cheeses, crackers and oyster stew. On occasion, he splurged on a warm serving of chicken fricassee. Above all, though, the 16th president was a fan of a red, juicy apples — particularly in the form of apple pie. Where to get: Apple pie is served everywhere, but my favorite comes from The Station at Mountain Lakes, as the apples are sliced super thin (allowing them to melt into the cinnamon filling around them). 99 Midvale Road, Mountain Lakes; 973-335-5330,. JFK wasn't a big foodie. Said to be a "small eater," the beloved 35th president had a diet that was pretty much a Panera menu. For most meals, he ate half-sandwiches and soup. Dessert wasn't typically included. True to his New England upbringing, though, he did admit to preferring seafood-centric soups over others. Creamy clam chowder was his first choice in the genre, as well as his favorite food overall. Where to get: Cap't Loui, with near-perfect Google ratings for each of its three locations, is an excellent spot for chowder. Multiple locations (Montclair, Fort Lee, Springfield); . And, on the flip side of Kennedy? Roosevelt had a huge appetite. An active hunter, hiker and more, the outdoorsman led a lifestyle fueled by calorically dense meals. Most of the time, he was observed devouring loaded plates of meat. If the trust-busting Teddy Bear is your president of choice, then, make sure to grab some fried chicken this holiday. Smothered in white gravy, the classic American dish was one of Roosevelt's favorite White House entrées. Where to get: Fried chicken is great at most diners, but to get it the Rooselvelt way, you'll have to go to Hibernia (because the team makes the delicious "white gravy" he loved — as long as you remember to ask for it). 9 Green Pond Road, Rockaway; 973)-625-3255, . The Obama family is known for eating healthy. In 2010, Michelle Obama launched a campaign to combat childhood obesity. In 2011, the administration replaced the antiquated food pyramid with a graphic "nutrition plate" meant to educate consumers on building a balanced meal. Everyone, however, has a weakness. The 44th president's? Smoked salt caramels in luscious milk chocolate. Where to get: Barack Obama orders these from Fran's Chocolates, a Seattle-based chocolatier that ships nationwide; Carter's humble beginnings as a peanut farmer might have helped him get into the White House, but, once there, he swapped the salty nuts for all things "cheese or dairy." He also relished anything "Southern," so it comes as no surprise that one of his favorite dishes — cheesy grits — combined all of those components. Where to get: Sweet T's Southern Eatery serves stone ground grits topped with a generous layer of melty cheddar. Two locations (Montclair & Teaneck); It might not have worked for Morgan Spurlock, but the "Super Size Me" diet has yet to bother president number 45/47. Where to get: The Golden Arches; Before he became a vegan, Bill Clinton was a huge fan of Mexican food. As he toured throughout the country, he'd often stop at taco joints along the way (much to the delight of owners, some of which painted murals commemorating his visit). He was even known to spruce up his other meals — such as cheeseburgers — with the hot flavor of jalapeño. Despite his love for most dishes in the category, though, Clinton's go-to Mexican order was a platter of chicken enchiladas. And, while he no longer eats the cheesy cylinders, it's certainly more fun to acknowledge President 42 with saucy tortillas than a boring side veggies. Where to get: The Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas at Chili Willie's are outstanding, as they come dripping with a flavorful spiced aioli. 702 Main St., Boonton; 973-299-8775, . Franklin D. Roosevelt had a true American palate. According to his White House housekeeper Henrietta Nesbitt, the immensely popular leader crushed hot dogs and fruitcake like nobody's business. When given his choice of meals, however, Roosevelt liked a classic grilled cheese sandwich. Where to get: The Committed Pig offers a noteworthy traditional grilled cheese, as well as five elevated grilled cheeses (like Spinach & Artichoke and Garlic Avocado). Multiple locations (Morristown, Summit, Manasquan); . Former President Joe Biden has lived in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Syracuse — but he's really a Jersey boy at heart. Because you can't tell me someone whose favorite food involves "red sauce" isn't from the Garden State. Where to get: La Pastaria in Summit has Capellini (angel hair) Gamberetto AND Fettuccine Di Pomodoro (red sauce) on the menu, so, if you combine those two, you get the Biden special. Ask for "Capellini Di Pomodoro." 327 Springfield Ave., Summit; 908-522-9088, . Our founding father enjoyed these crispy cornmeal pancakes the true American way: Swimming in syrup and butter. Where to get: Hoecakes are a lost breed — you won't find them in a local restaurant. Luckily, culinary historian Nancy Crump published a modern adaptation of the recipe used by the Washingtons themselves. Find it here: . Kara VanDooijeweert is a food writer for and The Record. If you can't find her in Jersey's best restaurants, she's probably off running a race course in the mountains. Catch her on Instagram: @karanicolev & @northjerseyeats, and sign up for her North Jersey Eats newsletter.
