Disclaimer: I have not been to the St. Paul Grill, but my wife says it great, but you may not be able to get a reservation at this late date.
Where’s the beef? Sadly it’s not in St. Paul. I wish I could recommend a place downtown to get a great steak, but you are going [...]
Like any major city in the US you will find ethnic neighborhoods , usually with a name like “ThisTown” or “ThatTown” or “LittleThis” or TheWhateverDistrict”. St. Paul is no exception. Just south of downtown, across the river, there is a Mexican area called The District del Sol and at 194 Cesar Chavez St. St. Paul, [...]
I suppose you could eat there. After all It is a pub. But why bother, let’s drink. I have never eaten there but I hear it is good food.

I have been saving Mickey’s Diner for my Friday post (my A-material). Like the Artists’ Quarter this place is close to the Crowne Plaza and it is the top of it’s class. Mickey’s is open 24 hours a day another plus for the programming crowd. It is a traditional diner the food is made on [...]
More food, I will make every attempt to hit as wide of a range in taste as I can (I wont post 5 pizza joints, I may not post any).
The Barbary Fig: I am not sure if this is called Mediterranean, Moroccan, North African or what, but it is good. My meal was a dish [...]
