The fun is over, back to work.

With cfObjective() 2008  in our rear view now I can stop with the posts about food and music in St. Paul, at least until next year. I am not going to go over all of the great presentations, chances are you have the presenters in your rss, and why not get it from the authors [...]

cfObjective() – Food – Steakhouse

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 [...]

cfObjective() – Sights – Bald Eagles

It seems that in some parts of the country that bald eagles are rarely seen if ever. That is not the case in the upper Mississippi River Valley. So, while you are here enjoying the conference step outside and look south to river. there is a good chance you will see some bald eagles.

cfObjective() – Food – El Amanecer

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, [...]

cfObjective() – Drinks – The Liffey Pub

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.
The Liffey is a traditional Irish Pub, lots of great people having a great time.
It’s walkable from the Crowne.

cfObjective() – Food – Pazzaluna

Amazing Italian within walking distance of the Crowne Plaza. Pazzaluna Trattoria.
So, a couple of things to note here. The risotto is top-notch, they have a daily special so check that first to see if it sounds good. Great Broccoli Rabe, they have fresh mozzarella so a caprice salad is always a great choice. I am [...]

cfObjective() – Food – Tanpopo Noodles

Tanpopo Noodle Shop is located on the other side of downtown from the conference. But if you want Udon or Soba it is worth the trip. As you can see from the google info page this Tanpopo is favorite of many people.
It is located on the southeast corner of 4th st. e. and Broadway or  [...]

Thursday May 1st 9:00 pm [...]

cfObjective – food – Mickey’s Diner

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 [...]
