I'm surprised Hen House isn't on this list. And a few more I see are missing.

If I remember the twitter thread correctly, he was focusing on quick-serve/counter-serve restaurants. Hen House is still full table service, right?

According to momentmpls.com a Starbucks is opening at 650 Portland Ave

Interesting, since there used to be a Starbucks just a few blocks over in EDITION.

Yeah. It was weird when that one closed. It always seemed busy even in the hight of the pandemic because you could sit in the park when indoor dining was closed.

I'm glad to have something here again . There are no coffee shops nearby open on Sundays.

Is the Starbucks skyway or street level?

Street level. On 7th street

Awesome. Thanks. My new favorite Starbucks.

If quick service is the what the list is compiling. I'd say Valentino Cafe, Sal's on fifth and Sushi Train would fit the bill. Is this list updated on twitter? I'm always looking for new restaurants to try.

Looks like the old Alliance Francais at 113 N 1st St is getting a 3-level 'Taco Concept' restaurant tenant. Looks like a 'speakeasy', event space, and first floor main restaurant, patio and rooftop.

Great place, hope they have plenty of success!

A bunch of people in my office are excited they are reopening.

Wasn’t a different seafood place supposed to be opening back up in the McCormick & Schmick’s spot?

Yes. From the 801 Chophouse people

Looks like the windows on the reopened Zelo space are frosted (or whatever) for the bottom two-thirds or so. Can’t see in or out when walking on the street.

I wish there was a city ordinance that prohibited this.

Gross. I also wish we had an ordinance against this kind of thing. I guess it keeps the patrons from having to look at all that grey concrete on the mall, and the busses we couldn't do without.
