Bar La Grassa, a fairly new establishment on Washington Ave, was on my radar to visit. It was featured as one of the best places for food and drink in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. Who knew that last evening--a cold Wednesday---would find me 10 deep waiting to speak to the host? Does buzz from a Star Tribune article last for weeks?

What am I missing in the night scene here in Minneapolis? Is 8PM midweek a popular time to dine out? I'm confused.

Also concerned about how difficult it was to park and scale the ice cliff of snow to get on the partly icy-slick sidewalk. I'm dumbfounded about how there is not a quality sit down restaurant in our Global Market. Our experience at Ala Salsa on NYE was mediocre at best. The parking and comfort of this building offers so much to diners--and you would think owners as well. There is gossip that the restaurant Jade, which occupies a large part of the Global Market, will close soon. I long for a great dining spot to take over that space.

We discovered through an acquaintance that our good friend Tony, the sushi chef, has found a home at Fuji-Ya. That is where we first learned about sushi and how to order and eat it! Best of luck to him and we will certainly become regulars at Fuji-Ya again!
