Brunch in a Former Fire House
Enjoyed a fine brunch in this newly refurbished space. In 1885 this was St. Paul’s first fire house. Last summer, when a friend and I cycled to former St. Paul fire houses, the interior was dilapidated and abandoned.
Bauhaus Brewery
Cycled over to Bauhaus Brewery for dinner with friends. In addition to beer, we were sustained by the best, most tender slow-cooked brisket from a smoker on a trailer.
