St. Paul Restaurant News
Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
I think a great redevelopment opportunity was missed at Western and Selby. I think the Urban League building is still unused, Costello's obviously would have sold, the two CVA buildings were sitting empty. It would have been nice for a developer to come in redevelop that whole section of the block. Restaurants/shops/boutiques at street level and two or three floors of apartments/condos above (of course with adequate underground parking). I think it would be a much desirable area to live than Snelling and Selby (i.e. The Vintage), because it's much more pedestrian friendly, many non-chain restaurants in walking distance, and there is a Green Line stop at Western.
Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
People who are looking at the Vintage are looking more for convenience than an upscale mellower neighborhood. The area around the Vintage has a great mix of independent shops and corporate mix. Having a grocery store right there will be a very large draw, as well as the frequent transportation options on Snelling and the 21 bus up a block or 2.I think a great redevelopment opportunity was missed at Western and Selby.

The Sebly/Western area is more for those that like a slower pace and are willing to drive more to get places. Store price points in this area tend to be higher than those at Sebly/Snelling. While they maybe on the same street, they are farther apart on perceived demographics. IMO

Not sure what the delay on this project has been, but signage recently went up at Pieology in Highland Village. Snapped a quick pic. Also the work on the Cleveland/Ford intersection area is taking forever...

Tell me about it! At this rate the Vikings Stadium will be finished first!Not sure what the delay on this project has been, but signage recently went up at Pieology in Highland Village. Snapped a quick pic. Also the work on the Cleveland/Ford intersection area is taking forever...
Pieology lights were on last night and it looks like it could open anyday. I also don't understand the delay, the wbsite said July, then Aug, now Oct.....

American Burger Bar on Wabasha in downtown caught fire today: http://www.startribune.com/local/stpaul/280092962.html
Luckily, it's in a parking garage and not a historic structure.

Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
That's infuriating. WA Frost and Moscow on the Hill have 3 parking spots between them, this new place has 13 and they say it will "ruin businesses." So only the first store to open on a street gets to use the on street parking?

Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
That's asinine. I lived in the building across from the WA Frost lot for 2 years and never did I have to park more than one block from home...on the street.

It appears the retail space in Lowertown's Farmers Market Lofts has finally been filled by a pizza joint: http://growlermag.com/3-lowertown-devel ... h-in-2015/
The article also indicates a restaurant with a rooftop deck might being going into downtown St. Paul's Pioneer-Endicott Building.
Looks like Saint Dinette plans a Februaury opening in Lowertown's recently renovated Rayette Building: http://growlermag.com/lowertown-low-dow ... -and-more/
Lastly, this huge new awesome distillery will be opening at the Hamm's Brewery site next year: http://mspmag.com/Blogs/Dara/December-2014/11-Wells/

Their rye is so good. One of the best rye's I've ever tasted. However it is quite expensive: $40 for a 375ml.

Frogtown Daily Diner has closed: http://blogs.mprnews.org/newscut/2015/0 ... -frogtime/Frogtown Daily Diner is now open in the newer Frogtown Square TOD project at University & Dale.

That's a big blow for the neighborhood and for the people they were helping.
Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
Construction has started at the Lex, they want to be open by this summer.

Hopefully it can stick around down there. Those retail spots along the mall have been very hard to fill.Afro Deli is now open on the 7th Place per mall in downtown. A very welcome addition!
Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
I'm very excited about Colossal opening another location, but arguably the Afro opening is an even bigger boon to St. Paul. I went down there last Friday and the place was absolutely packed. Food was tip-top, although I'll admit they're still working out some kinks in terms of service. Afro, if it can keep this momentum, should be hugely successful, especially if they can put some tables outside during warmer days.

Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
Is it in the 7th Place spot that was vacated by the short-lived tacqueria?
Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
^ Tacos, Nachos and Beer
I presume that's the place, but I haven't managed to go past since they opened.
