Elsie’s is a great place to hang! - It hits the sweet spot between “grungy and nice” and has an attached Bowling Alley. What’s not to like?

Sorry you never come in on Thursdays when I’m always there.

I’m not as well versed as some when it comes to NE, but the Young Joni/Dangerous Man combo is top tier.

Brasa is a favorite of mine to eat at, always get the green sauce & crispy yuca. Highly suggest Erte for a nicer meal (their HH is great), Animales BBQ at Able is great food (beer is so-so). Love the tacos at Centro. Also a ton of good spots on Central (Chimborazo, Khao Hum Thai, etc…).
For places to drink, agree with @aspoiledwalk on Elsies (family friend owns it). Some other great spots are 1029 (especially the patio in nice weather), NE Yacht Club (across from Elsies), & Mayslacks for me. Will also shout out Indeed brewing for their beer.

If you are fine with posting up at Dangerous Man for 2 hours it’s a pretty good combo without reservation.
Otherwise, reservations go up 1st of the month for the following month.

Gorhka Palace if you like Indian/Tibetan/Nepalese food. Absolutely phenomenal

Brasa fucks. Also Spitz right up the street is killer and pretty quick. The street cart doner with lamb/beef is silly good. We also have our sour on tap there, so ya know…

Psycho Suzi’s and Stanley’s are solid places for food. Tattersall distilling and Brother Justice whiskey are great spots. Kind of an embarrassment of riches brewery-wise in NE. Bauhaus, Fair State, 56 brewing and broken clock are breweries that haven’t been mentioned yet.

Anybody jumping on The Showcase (TGJ) at Olympic Hills?

Avoid the lines at Young Joni if you want pizza and just go to South Minneapolis for Pizzeria Lola. Same pizzas, same owner, just a different location without all the hoops to jump through

Anyone looking for fourth this weekend? This new sleep (and golf) deprived guy got a hall pass to scrape it around this weekend
$450? Pass.
I was thinking about it. Gotta support them allowing TGJ to come in instead of last year’s fiasco.

What was last years fiasco?
Was my thoughts as well. Had it blocked off on my calendar, but $450 seemed a little too steep.
Stoolie invasion
What was the fee for the Undercard last year? I’ve never been to a TGJ event but have never heard someone say it wasn’t worth the cost
Bingo

Olympic run guest days are only about 150 bucks. That’s my major concern about the TGJ one whether the extra gifts and swag is worth it.
