Itty Bitty Rants

Infrequent posts about stuff.

If it wasn’t true before…

The East Lake St upswing continues it's stratospheric ascent with [this news in the Strib](http://www.startribune.com/456/story/575589.html) that the owner of Azia (and a few other noteworthy local restaurants) is putting in two new restaurants in the area. The former Ember's/House of Lalibela/Molly Quin's Irish Pub at 33rd and Lake is going to be a pan-asian place, and then he's going to top that by putting in something called the "Manhattan Martini Lounge" at 35th and Lake. Both due before Thanksgiving, it should make for even more wonderful options for dining this fall.
