When I try a new restaurant each week, getting there isn’t very hard. I simply take the A Line north to University and Snelling, and then take the Green Line Light Rail to my destination. When I get some grub on the Green Line I usually head east. I am most unfamiliar with the area…
Anyone who has ridden the Green Line knows the extensive number of restaurants that lie between St. Paul and Minneapolis. The line stretches through communities that are new and old, commercial and residential. This week, I tried a Middle Eastern restaurant that was recommended to me. I took the Green Line to the East Bank…
I am never disappointed when I try a meal on the Green Line that has been recommended to me. This week, my already high expectations for trying great restaurants on the Green Line were exceeded when I tried On’s Thai Kitchen on University Ave and Snelling Ave. Going on a weekday, there was no wait,…
Since the Green Line lies right on the campus of the University of Minnesota, I tried to find an easily accessible restaurant for dinner. I ended up sitting in Tea House, a crowded Chinese restaurant filled with customers far beyond the ages of college students, even during Happy Hour. Before I talk about the main…
Grub on the Green Line is the Mac Weekly’s attempt to create a comprehensive understanding of all the restaurants located just a bus ride (and a light rail ride) away.

For Macalester students looking to go to downtown St. Paul or Minneapolis, Metro Transit’s Green Line is now the most convenient way to get there. Since this past June, the Green Line has run along University Avenue between the two downtowns. With frequent 24-hour service, clear announcements and clean cars, the Green Line is a…
Adjunct professors call off union election One day before an election to unionize contingent faculty was expected to begin, organizers of the movement at Macalester unexpectedly cancelled the election. In a letter sent to all contingent faculty at Macalester, the organizers cited a lack of consensus and a desire to spend more time exploring unionizing….
It’s hard to believe but another school year is almost over. I thought it would be fitting to reflect on my past three years here, how my knowledge of the Twin Cities has grown, as well as how my perspectives have changed. Thinking back towards first year, I remember how huge the Twin Cities seemed…
For a place with only one light-rail line open, the Twin Cities have had an awful lot of news about mass transit recently. It seems almost daily that another story is written about the Green Line. It opens on June 14 so I won’t be discussing it too much — I intend to focus on…
