Three More Reasons to Love Northeast Minneapolis
1) Teasource.
This place rocks.
There’s not much I enjoy more on a windy fall day than a hot cup of tea. They have a large selection of decaf, too. My favorite! This place is cheaper than Teavana (located at the Mall of America), has a much larger selection, and it’s closer to my house!
I bought a two ounce tin of the “Evening in Missoula” tea and can’t wait to try my first cup tonight! It’s the most popular tea sold in the store.
2) Jersey Mike’s Subs
I’m addicted to this place.
The service sucks and the staff are either lazy, borderline rude, or both - but I keep going back!
Twice I’ve been there and had an awful experience. Once, I was there 15 minutes before closing time and they’d already shut down the grill. Then recently I was there at 7:20 on a night that they were supposed to close at 8:00. All of the stools were up and one of the employees was mopping the store. Not exactly an inviting environment. I hadn’t been there in well over a month - until tonight. Delicious!
3) Pop!
I was wrong about Pop! I tried to go there back in June, just after I moved to NE and the place was packed. I checked out the menu and everything seemed SO OVERPRICED! I was convinced to give the place another try after I read a local blog’s review of the joint - full of praise. I was not disappointed. The prices were *much* more reasonable, and the food was unbelievably tasty. I’m not sure if they’ve got a rotating menu there or what. My server was very pleasant, the food was crazy delicious (I had the special, and split a HUGE cheese fondue appetizer with a friend). I’d recommend it to everyone. It’s a taste sensation!
(the first two are on the border of NE/Saint Anthony Village, and for my money - it’s close enough to call ‘em NE businesses)
I’m off to nurse my cold and watch more Asian horror flicks that my coworker lent to me. Never a dull moment in the house ‘o sassy, I tell you what!
