Tickets? Check. Hotel room? Check. Now, what else are you going to do in Detroit during the Final Four? Here are few ideas.

Cars

The Motor City is home to General Motors, Ford and Chrysler: Modern automobile production was born there when Henry Ford cranked up the world's first assembly line in 1903. Not surprisingly, there are cultural touchstones all over the city honoring and glorifying car making and makers.

The Henry Ford Museum's exhibits include the bus on which Rosa Parks rode to launch the Civil Rights movement and President John F. Kennedy's limousine. At 20900 Oakwood Blvd., Dearborn. Tel: (313) 982-6100.

The Detroit Historical Museum allows you to walk through a 19th-century street scene, and an authentic auto assembly line. At 5401 Woodward Ave. , Detroit. Tel: (313) 833-1805.

The Detroit Institute of Arts is home to a world-class collection of work, including "Self Portrait" by Vincent van Gogh. Be sure to see where Mexican artist Diego Rivera created his renowned Detroit Industry frescoes. At 5200 Woodward Ave., Detroit. (313) 833-7900.

The Automotive Hall of Fame includes Benz, Bosch, Bugatti, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroen, Daimler, Dodge, Durant, Duryea, Ferrari, Ford, Honda, Maybach, Olds, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Sloan and Toyoda, among others. At 21400 Oakwood Blvd. Dearborn. Tel: (313) 240-4000.

Music

Long before Eminem, Jack White, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger or MC5 put Detroit on the music map, the Motown sound was born there in a modest house at 2648 W. Grand Blvd. That's where Berry Gordy, Jr. opened Hitsville USA and introduced the world to Gladys Knight & The Pips, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Martha Reeves, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and many others. During the Final Four weekend you won't be able to get inside what is now called the Motown Historical Museum -- it's only open in the summer -- but you can stop by and snap a photo in front of the famous sign and hum a few bars of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" before heading off to the arena.

Food

Start your day off right by drinking in the aroma of fresh coffee and homemade breads at Avalon Bakery, 422 Willis St. For lunch, graze the farmers' stalls or sit down at Sala Thai or Russell Street Deli at historic Eastern Market, 2934 Russell St. Later, order a slab of baby back ribs at Slows Bar B Q at 2138 Michigan Ave. in the Corktown neighborhood near the old Tigers Stadium. Try the Polish Village Cafe platter of stuffed cabbage, pierogi, kielbasa, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes at 2990 Yemans Ave., Hamtramck. Or, mingle with Wayne State srudents crowding the Cass Cafe and linger over the regularly updated art exhibitions. Also worth a taste: the cafes and restaurants that line Monroe Street in Greektown, the Mexican menu at Agave, 4265 Woodward Ave., and family-friendly Hockeytown, 2301 Woodward Ave.

Drink

Stepping out of Ford Field for a cold one? Town Pump Tavern fits the bill with 18 beers on tap just two blocks from the stadium, right behind Hockeytown, 100 W. Montcalm Ave. Cheli's, at 43 East Adams, next to Comercia Park, sia also sure to be mobbed. Insiders say your best chance for a Jack White sighting is probably the Bronx Cafe, a hipster bar in the Midtown/Cass Corridor area at 4476 2nd Ave. There's pool tables and live, full-throated garage rock most nights at the Magic Stick, 4120-4140 Woodward Ave. Or, sidele up to the bar at Honest?John’s, a scrubbed dive at 488 Selden St. in the Cass Corridor.
