I still have no idea where Morningside is, Mary, but give me time. I’ve had the delicious popovers at Lucia’s. Its a fellow member of the Metro Independent Business Alliance.

Have for years. Did you know they are the only local grocer who does not warehouse or put into storage tanks their produce and meat? It goes straight out into the store when it arrives. So THAT’s why K-Wall’s raspberries last up to a week, whilst other stores’ don’t! (In my humble experience.) Ummm…for awesommmmmeeeeee French country food…you absotutely, simply cannot beat Lucia’s Restaurant and Wine Bar in Uptown. By the way Julie-Hunt & Gather is only about a mile east of Morningside Edina (remember you said No Idea where it was). :)

(I’m just a little biased) He makes great food too! Plus Jolly Rancher infused vodka!! WHat could be better? Check them out! Calhoun square upstairs.

But, the one place I always visit in MN is the Lions Tap. That is probably my all time favorite!

That’s quite the endorsement. I guess we can call it authentic then? Thanks for a good list of places to hit — especially your wife’s :)

I was writing a list of good Milwaukee joints for a kid the other day, and I wrote “Pizza Man (burned down).” Too sad…

Brasa… Punch… love them all.

My wife loves Stephanie’s clothing store in St. Paul.

So there you are.
