Rating 4.5/5 Stars for exquisite creativity and childlike wonder, but coffee that also tasted like it was crafted with kids – and not caffeine – in mind! First off, I have to commend the T-Rex Cookie Cafe for coming up with what might be a foolproof marketing strategy! Dinosaurs + Giant Cookies = content customers…
A gutted out warehouse with a minimalist interior? The smell of hops wafting through the air? A milkshake IPA scheduled for release? One might recognize these trendy typical brewery qualities on a first glance at Able Seedhouse. So why were the Food and Drink Editor Henry Nieberg ’19 and I so excited to visit? What…
As the warm Minnesota summer winds to an end, the Minnesota State Fair rises up in an effort to preserve the very last of summer. Kids, students, families and tourists come from around the state to enjoy everything the fair has to offer. This includes, but is not limited to, live music, petting zoos, rodeos,…
I walked under a constructed frame that beams down a pink and blue glow and hesitated just inside the door. A worker cleaning tables welcomed me in and gestured towards the register. On its third day of business, All Square was already a bustling part of this small neighborhood off Lake Street at 4047 Minnehaha…

The main attraction is the seafood boils, a dish in which shellfish is boiled in an aromatic broth and served with potatoes and corn. Reader be warned, eating…
We live in an age of over-ritualized brunch and Tea House’ weekend brunch buffet takes the ritual to another level. Located near Stadium Village, Tea House is the most authentic Chinese restaurant in town, serving traditional mainland-style dishes in a formal setting. I have exhausted their regular menu and discovered a high variance of quality….

This week I had the pleasure of eating at a Macalester student favorite, India House. Just down Grand, this restaurant is easily accessible to students by public transit and manageable on a college budget as well. India House is a great place to go with a group of friends as I did, but can work…
