Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News

Not exactly downtown, but repair work on the Band Box Diner seems to have started. Saw someone in there last night as I went past.

Broadway Pizza moving from their soon to close W. Broadway location Downtown to the Dan Kelly location Downtown, but first Dan Kelly is going to use their space to launch a new seafood concept which will get it's own space when Broadway moves in.

The owner will also be reopening Devil's Advocate and voiced confidence in Downtown.

The medium-cursed Ling & Louie's/Randle's/Rojo space is getting a new tenant next month, according to Axios, with a rooftop patio on the roof (obviously), a lounge on the mezzanine, a Joey Meatballs on the ground floor, and a dance floor in the basement. Should be pretty cool.

This is good, bringing life to empty storefronts on Nicollet is needed!

The Local has "Now Hiring" signs up.

Does anyone know what 12 new business are set to open up according to this story? Or the 24 that recently reopened?

On a side note downtown was incredibly busy during the lunch hour today, and could definitely support more re-openinngs.

Don't know, but this little section of that article is GOLD.

"Forty years ago, Janice Devine and Peter Ruggles used to eat, sleep and breathe downtown Minneapolis.

After they moved, they noticed differences over time.

“To not have the Dayton’s, to not have some of that retail, I could see that as a difference,” Devine said."

When Angle Bakery moved the owners of Hells Kitchen said they had different plans for the space, now we know what those plans are.

I suspect you are being deliberately obtuse.

Almost a year to the day that covid unexpectedly closed everything down, we finally have a fun announcement about Angel Food’s future!

But first, with the continuing blows about offices & business not coming back any time soon, I have exhausted all my options for the business surviving in the downtown area. I adore Minneapolis and cannot wait to see it shine again, but, unfortunately, after just shy of 9 years it is time for us to say goodbye to downtown.

(I was just trying to make an offhand joke on what I presumed was you making a joke about there being no mention of 'Angle Food Bakery', while 'Angel Food Bakery was obviously named prominently in the article...)

Was sad to see Greek Grill & Cafe in the skyway at Northstar Center is now closed. Where can I get my gyro fix downtown now??

[Tyler]

Trieste Cafe is still open, right?

[Silophant]

It was as of mid-May.

I hope they re-open somewhere else, they were my favorite gyro place downtown. Seems like all tenants were kicked out of Northstar for the renovations.
