We shared some apps at Zeitgeist Arts the other night and it was a fabulous experience! The food is really good, the prices are great, and there’s a very pleasant ambiance. I felt as if I were in a cafe in the Warehouse District in Mpls, like in the “North Loop” section where the publishers are starting to congregate.
Best thing to happen to Duluth in years
I cannot wait!!!
Jody, you are so right! I have to say, Alan Zeppa sure has made Duluth a cooler place! It would have been amazing if it’d been in the northshor, but building this over the Red Lion is still cool. I think they had something on the menu commemorating the Red Lion too.
You’re right, Calk. It’s a grilled eggplant sandwich called the Vegan Red Lion. Not the sandwich I’d have named after the Red Lion, but I’m sure it’s tasty. It should come with a can of Black Label for an extra $1.
Zeitgeist Arts Cafe is great. I concur with Calk. The cafe reminds me of places I’ve frequented in the Twin Cities or parts of Chicago and New York for that matter. The food is great and they give you a nice generous pour!
Why even compare it to “big city” fare? This place totally rocks on its own merits! I’ve traveled and I’ve eaten out and this place beats them all on quality, service, price and hipness without pretentiousness. Let’s celebrate this great addition to our Perfect Duluth!
At risk of the Porky Podcaster “just happening” to show up there at the same time, I’m thrilled that my book group is dining there tomorrow! Maybe we’ll end up having our book group meets there, when we don’t meet up at someone’s house that is. It’s the perfect place for intelligent conversation interspersed with some serious people watching opportunities.
This place totally reminds me of Duluth.
Low is Sold-Out.
Low is sold out indeed. But we’ll be giving away a couple of tickets on KUMD tonight. Listen to The Funhouse from 7:00 -- 9:00 for your chance to win.
Black-Eyed Snakes play Saturday @ Lucé.
I LOVE The Funhouse radio program -- thanks Shana!
Everyone should check out “It Might Get Loud” at the Zinema! An amazing documentary with Jack White, Jimmy Page, and the Edge. Need I say more??
Yes. U2 still blows.
I had lunch today at Zeitgeist, it was absolutely fabulous, and my book group ladies agree. Good food, good times, gotta see a movie there.
As for U-2 — I like their early stuff, not into them so much now. And Bruce is the Boss.
Bruce IS the Boss…the Boss is actually a folk singer disguised as a seasoned rock and roll musician.
Ever hear the Seeger Sessions?
Zra, I love the Seeger Sessions! I saw Springsteen TWICE in St Paul touring for the Seeger Sessions. The Boss is The Boss.
Low Schmo
Wow, sure had a blast at the opening this evening, and drank much-o champagne! Kudoes to all involved. It always cracks me up at these kinds of things, when you have the corporate types wearing suits mixing with the artists. . .
Calk, if suits and artists mixing it up amuses you, be sure to watch the fabulous Canadian series Slings and Arrows about a fictionalized Shakespearean festival (not Stratford, nope) in Ontario.
the cafe interior might remind of you bigger cities because the interior designer spent some formative years in chicago …
It’s not just the interior design, it’s the high ceilings, the exposed brick walls in the restaurant, those huge windows. . . I just love the place, it’s a great addition to Old Downtown, where the action has moved to, have you all noticed?
Action? The Lion Rouge had more than enough for most. I don’t think it’s moved, so much as colocated.
