DETROIT
– How’s this for a real heart (and hand)
warmer: for one day – November 26 – the Detroit People
Mover (DPM) will add to its route by opening up a special “station”
on Thanksgiving: one complete with free hot beverages.
Right
across the street from the DPM Grand Circus Park stop, and sponsored
by WADL TV 38, the DPM “Family / Patron Station” inside
Angelina Italian Bistro will give away complimentary hot chocolate
and coffee starting at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving Day. The restaurant
is located at 1565 Broadway, on the first floor of the old Madison
Theater Building and across from the Detroit Opera House. All
free beverages and giveaways will be available until noon or while
supplies last.
The People
Mover will distribute free children’s Santa Antlers (reindeer
hats) and December transit passes. Visitors will also have an
opportunity to submit their best wish for Detroit in the New Year.
“Families
are some of the People Mover’s most favorite VIP’s
– Very Important Patrons,” said Barbara Hansen, Detroit
Transportation Corporation general manager. “What better
way to bring in the holiday season than being surrounded by loved
ones, taking in a great event, having some hot chocolate with
real whipped cream and a fast People Mover ride to get you there
and back.”
While
there, guests can take a stroll down memory lane in a cozy holiday
setting, featuring WADL’s classic television lineup of yesterday
and today.
“WADL
TV38 continues to be a very touchable broadcast entity in Detroit,”
said Denise Dody Johnson, marketing and public relations director,
WADL. “The commitment continues with WADL TV38 and the viewers.
We are not just a TV station, we are a community connection. We
want to provide not only great programming, but also information,
and activities that firmly represent our passion to be a resource
to our community.”
For those
who want to experience a taste of Italy, Angelina’s will
also showcase its signature lattes, cappuccinos, baked goods and
full bar offerings at a special event price.
“Our
in-house pastry chef, Ann Weertz, is going all out with freshly
prepared cinnamon rolls, brownies and cookies. We’re proud
that everything is made on-site and that we are part of the downtown
revival,” said Angelina co-owner Tom Agosta.
People
Mover service hours on Thanksgiving Day are 6AM-7PM.
Steeped
in the traditions of Italy but with a modern attitude, Angelina
Italian Bistro features a moderately-priced menu of handcrafted
pasta, pizza, and inspired regional Italian entrees for the entire
family. Located on the first floor of the old Madison Theater
Building, Angelina Italian Bistro is open for dinner and special
events, and offers a full 40-seat bar highlighting Detroit’s
own micro-brews and wines from around the world in a non-smoking
environment. Catering and private dining rooms for holiday parties,
wedding dinners and other events are also available.
