Good Apples
Haute Dish
We’re gonna fantasize about the deliciousness that is the House Salad, think dirty thoughts about the “Steak & Eggs,” salivate over the Tator Tot HauteDish, and bask in the afterglow of the Carrot Cake. It’s THAT good. If you haven’t been - GO. Seriously, what the eff are you waiting for?
Return of Conan O’Brien
Thank God you’re back. You were missed. Though we do question your jeggings and the beard (we could really do without the beard).
Old Spice
The Man Your Man Could Smell Like - awesome all around! The Man, the viral video campaign, the EVERYTHING. It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Old spice did one better – turned the old dog into a young pup and made women want him. To that we say, well done.

Opera Tasting
Um, so I got dragged to this opera shindig; won’t lie, thought I was gonna hate it. It was pretty sweet. There were cute singers belting out foreign languages within feet of me and nearly all the wine I could drink – a good night all around. Apparently, this is an annual event put on by the Minnesota Opera's young folks group Tempo – I’ll be there next year, will you?
Booze at the Movies
So, we know that the ShowPlace ICON opened in late 2009, but we experienced it’s delightfulness for the first time this year, so it totally counts. Bacon popcorn, booze, loungy leather seats, and no noisy rugrats – love it.
Bradstreet Crafsthouse
Get Birk or Jourdan to make you a drink. They’re pretty to look at . . . and the drinks taste good too! www.bradstreetcrafthouse.com
Victory 44
We may be late to the game on this local NOMI gem, but now that we’re on board, we need to tell you that it’s amazing. Bacon fries (yum!). Perfect Burger (yes, yes it is). Dessert tray that follows a pre-dessert (luvin’ it). I know everyone’s all like "Travail rocks," but we’re inclined towards the original (and the fact that it's in Minneapolis makes it better too!).
Bad Apples
Twins Stadium
We know we’re supposed to love it, but seriously, if you work downtown and are NOT going to the game it sucks hard. We’ve been nearly run over in parking lots by Mr. and Mrs. SuburbsRule - driving their SUVs around like they don’t understand the rules of the road. We’ve had minor heart attacks at almost running over Twins geared idiots – they walk through intersections like they’re experiencing life for the first time. And we’re so over the increase in time to get home – figure it out people and get the eff out of our way.
Iowa Voters
Sadly, 3 of the 7 Iowa judges who did the right thing (you know, the whole gay marriage thing) were recently ousted in a retention vote. WTF?!? So, apparently, your job security is in question if you support civil rights in Iowa. Not cool, not cool at all.
Brett Favre
Penis Shots. Need we say more?
Governor’s Race
Blame for this goes all around. The candidates, the voters, the recount, etc. The campaign/vote related shenanigans were too much for us – not so interesting, yet wouldn’t go away.
Goodbye Palomino
Hello Crave? Clearly, you can never have too many restaurants that specialize in making pizza, sushi, burgers, pasta, and any other sh*t that lametastic people want to eat when they really want to impress their (even lamer) friends. Okay – that was mean - we’re not harshing on Crave as much as we’re pissy at the landlord who thought “Let’s oust Palomino and bring on the fully generic.”
Cristal v. Cristalino
Um, really Cristal? People are really confusing Cristalino for you? If that’s the case, then you really need to revisit your brand. Maybe stop saying a-holey things about the hip-hop community’s interest in your product - shut the eff up and appreciate it – don’t say that it might harm your brand. Wonder if the public relations fiasco associated with your managing director’s ignorant comments are at all related to your need to chase a cheap champagne for trademark issues . . . .
