Editor's Note: Settling for Less (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wrote an article exploring the mystery of the $15 side salad, now commonplace at local mid-priced full-service restaurants. Beforehand, I was fortunate to spend a week this summer in both Paris and London, and I returned to the Twin Cities full of envy. Over there, I saw restaurants and bars crowded with locals from happy hour to closing time, even when it was oppressively hot inside because they have no air-conditioning. I saw prices that were not head-scratching, and I mostly did not see tri
What's With the $15 Side Salad? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all have our restaurant pricing stories. The $15 side salad is my biggest head-scratcher. (Weren’t they $5 or $6 just a few years ago?) For some, it’s the $14 fast food burger that rankles (we’re looking at you, Shake Shack). For others, it’s the $38 Bolognese at a basic South Minneapolis bistro. That’s $50 with tax and tip, mind you. None of this is to imply said pricing is unjustified, but the value quotient of dining out has gone pear-shaped for many customers. “You’re not paying for food,
U of M President Rebecca Cunningham's Defining Year (opens the original)

The third is that she’s a visionary who attracts talent and has produced a widely admired road map for the university. It’s conceivable that all three perspectives h
Aer Lingus Flies Away (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The July news that Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus was ending flights to MSP Airport this October proved the latest in a series of disappointing recent developments in local air service. The carrier had been serving MSP since 2019 (with a pandemic pause) and was the poster child for the Regional Air Service Partnership (RASP), a joint effort of Greater MSP, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), which owns and operates MSP, and the 30 largest local companies. RASP’s first big win was Aer Ling
Not Exactly Waiting ’Til Next Year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At mid-season, the Twins got deeper into frequency marketing. The team was already offering season ticket holders (“members”) a points currency for their loyalty, good for various goods and experiences, but this round set the bar higher. The Twins told members if they actually came to the ballpark (rather than selling their tickets online or not using them), they’d receive credits against next year’s plan. The credits kick in if they give the seats to friends or family as well. It’s called Home-
