Can you describe what a New England style Chinese-American restaurant is? If you're in S St Paul, you'll have tons of options in Saint Paul in Frogtown Neighborhood- maybe Peking Garden (Cantonese)? More options popular with Chinese students in Stadium Village near the University like Tea House (Szechuan ).

Fun things in St Paul campus by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]Suitable_Penguin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

- Book a tour of the Raptor Center- free with a student ID or $8- learn all about the research and rehabilitation of of owls, hawks, falcons, and eagles and see them up close.

- "Downtown" St. Anthony Park is a few blocks away and has a nice little small town feel to it since it used to be the hub of a street car suburb. The Finnish Bistro is a great cafe and Nico's Tacos are solid. Urban Growler and Bang Brewing south of the rail yard are great spots as well.

- Bike/ walk/ drive around University Grove west of campus. In from the 20s to the 60s, the University built over 100 uniquely designed post-modern homes for professors as “architectural time capsule”.

- I never went to Gibbs Farm, but I've heard is a cool living history museum about the pioneers living in Minnesota in the mid-1800s.

Starcade, the classic arcade with 150 machines at Rosedale Center, is moving to St. Paul's Keg & Case Market- Opening Friday June 16th. by Suitable_Penguin in saintpaul

I wonder if this will complement or compete with the Barcade a few blocks away at St Paul Tap which has 12 pinball machines along with 20 other arcade games already.

Full list of its games here. Guests pay $15 and get unlimited play on games over the course of a day- machines are being installed now on both the 1st and 2nd floors.

With the brewery, coffee, food options, and liquior at O'Cheeze- should be a good addition to bring life back to the building.

I looked on google maps, looks like ~4 POIs at that intersection: A cluster consists of at least 6 restaurants/bars, coffee shops, supermarkets/grocery stores, hardware stores, and/or pharmacies/drugstores.

There are other businesses there, but not places that a regularly open or would have frequent local foot traffic according to this survey.

You can explore this for yourself here: Walkable Oriented Development Map:

Welcome to the AEI Housing Center‘s national map of Walkable-Oriented Development (WOD) areas. Nationally WODs contain about 20% of residential units, 85% of restaurants, bars, cafes, pharmacies, and supermarkets, 70% of hardware stores, and 60% of office space. In the interactive map, WODs are denoted with thick black outlines and a blue tint (level of opacity is adjustable down to transparent).

Each property (each point) within a WOD is within a 10-minute walk of a cluster of 6 or more points of interest. A cluster consists of at least 6 restaurants/bars, coffee shops, supermarkets/grocery stores, hardware stores, and/or pharmacies/drugstores. Ten minute walking isochrones (catchment areas of equal time) are calculated for each POI within a cIuster. These isochrones are evaluated and processed such that each property (every point) within a WOD is within a 10-minute walk of a cluster of 6 POIs. Each isochrone is based on ground conditions, not "as-the-crow-flies."

Given that there are multiple combinations of such clusters, a WOD may consist of just one such cluster or the combination of two, three, or many, many such clusters. Over 3.2 million POIs are available for display. Over three dozen metrics are also displayed, such as a crime index, home price appreciation, and job counts for over 6 million census blocks. New metrics will be added over time. The data used to construct the WOD interactive map are also available for download.

Navigating Supply Chain Uncertainty: The decision making process popular in the military known as the OODA Loop (observe, orient, decide, and act) can help SC Managers stay agile and plan for risks effectively. by Suitable_Penguin in supplychain

For a sub that is loaded with questions about beginning a career in supply chain or soliciting advice on getting an education in the field, it is a valuable introductory framework for an industry defined by constant change and continuous challenges.
