We went to the theatre last Sat. and decided to go to the New French for
dessert. Hadn't done that in a while. Got to the New French at 10:20 and
they weren't serving anymore. The New French!! We looked for somewhere to
go in the warehouse district. Cafe Solo - closed, Faegre's - long closed,
of course. Banana's - closed. Brenda - closed. The area was mobbed with
Timberwolves fans, lots of sports bars I hadn't seen before. Nowhere to go
for late dessert and wine. We didn't try to walk over to Hoyt's, Monte
Carlo or Nikki's. Does anyone else miss the warehouse district like I do?
