Cheaper/greasier than Keys? Oh, how I miss Hamline's in Renaissance Square. If you're up for a walk, Band Box in Elliot Park fits the bill.

Isn't Hen House sort of like that (old Peter's Grill space).

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Hen House (former Peter's Grill location) opens at 6:30 and makes a pretty fantastic breakfast.I'd love it if we could have an old fashioned eggs and hash browns kinda place downtown. You know, the kind that opens at 5am and closes at 2 with a big flat iron griddle.

Coming in at number 4 on the list of things that Matt and I vociferously agree on.Oh, how I miss Hamline's in Renaissance Square.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
I will be beyond excited if it is open Saturdays.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
I wish they would have taken a street-level spot in MC², and been open into the evening, but I guess they have a street entrance at USBank Plaza and aren't open evenings or weekends anyway.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
I was thinking, why is Naf Naf all about being in the skyways? I have friends from Chicago that rave about it. I want to try it but never have the opportunity because I'm never DT during their operating times.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Well the US Bank one is open until 6 and is on the ground floor. But I agree. They need to be in a more exciting part of downtown. The problem is, a lot of restaurants see downtown as an office zone, and not residential. They also dont see Hennepin as a very desirable location, at least not yet.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Inspired by the action of others on this fourm, I contacted them asking if they were interested in opening an Uptown/LynLake/South Minneapolis location and got this response:
"We are currently sourcing this area and hope to bring the Naf Naf love."

As a person who just went down and grabbed Naf Naf from the ground floor of my office building, I'm pretty happy they're in this not-quite-exciting part of downtown.Well the US Bank one is open until 6 and is on the ground floor. But I agree. They need to be in a more exciting part of downtown. The problem is, a lot of restaurants see downtown as an office zone, and not residential.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Some recent things going on in my corner of the skyway...
- I can't believe how long the line for Green + the Grain is every single day. I know they had a good following as a food truck but I haven't had a chance to try it yet because the lines a so crazy. Good for them.
- across LaSalle in the Highland Bank (?) building. The Skyway Bites closed on the 1st of the year. But good news, one of my colleague's family is opening a Thai Restaurant in the space. They operate On's Kitchen on University near the Turf Club in St Paul. I hear only great things and I am excited for it to open soon.
- today I saw a sign in front of the former convenience store / Murphy Dog location that said opening Feb 1. I don't know if it's a combo again, just a conv store, or a restaurant.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Green and grain line is fast. Like 10-15 minutes even when way out the door. They are opening another skyway location as well.
Towns!

Looks like a new bar is moving into the empty space next to the police station in the warehouse district.
