North American International Auto Show

The North American International Auto Show opens to the public this weekend and, while not technically in Windsor, it’s a short tunnel bus ride over the border into Detroit and a favourite activity for a lot of Windsorites to visit. A perfect opportunity to take in a Winter Bites meal before and/or after the show.
