First look: Eat Street Crossing is a delicious playground by two Twin Cities food power couples

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:00:05 GMT

Eat Street Crossing, a new food hall in Minneapolis from the teams behind Zen Box Izakaya and Bebe Zito, is now open — and they can count me a fan.Named for the stretch of Nicollet Avenue known for plenty of global restaurants, Eat Street Crossing is in a gorgeous brick building once home to the Twin City Scenic Company, a notable theater art studio founded in the 1890s. Pioneer Press Eat editor Jess Fleming and I were able to check out the space on a preview night before its official opening last weekend.The bar is front and central at Eat Street Crossing on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. (Jess Fleming / Pioneer Press)With super-tall vaulted ceilings and well-worn brickwork, the space has a fun vibe that’s both industrial and eclectic. There’s a good amount of seating; in exchange, though, navigating the space on a busy day could be tough. And unlike other new markets with spacious parking lots, like Malcolm Yards, you’ll likely have to whip out your parallel parking skills on the...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Angela and it's about working out. Here's her email: Get all of the latest news, weather, sports, and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a real problem and I don't know what to do. I'm hoping you can help with the dilemma. I work out at the gym across the street from my place of business. It makes life easy. I go to work and at the end of the day, I walk across the street, throw on my gym clothes and work out for an hour. Well, recently, my boss joined the same gym.

Plus, my work day is over, gym time is me time. How do I get it to stop without insulting him, and therefore putting my job in jeopardy? I hope you and your listeners can help. Thanks so muchAngelaThat is tough, and I admit, I'm not great at being forward about ...

Bridge: March 16, 2023

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:00:05 GMT

I continue a series on good timing as declarer. Any treatment of timing must cite the “Morton’s Fork Coup.”Today’s West led the jack of clubs against four spades: king, ace, five. On the club return (clearly not best), South threw a diamond and took the queen. He drew trumps and led the queen of hearts, and West won and returned a heart. South took dummy’s K-J, pitching another diamond, but when he led a diamond to his king, West got the A-Q. Down one.IMPALEDCardinal Morton was King Henry VII’s treasurer. He extorted money from London’s nobles with this approach: If they lived well, they had money; if they lived frugally, they had money saved. Whatever their lifestyle, they were impaled on Morton’s Fork.South can ruff the second club, draw trumps and lead his five of hearts. West is impaled. If he ducks, dummy wins, and South throws his last heart on the high club and loses two diamonds. If instead West takes his ace, South gets three ...
