Goon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I prefer the moon buffet:) I like Pizza Ranch in DL and Grand Forks, but the Moons is good as well. Mikes Pizza in EGF is good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreNorthDakota Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 New place opening downtown replacing Gilly's. The Brick & Barley. 48 beers on tap and a more traditional restaurant setting than Gilly's. I live downtown so I'm really hoping this place is solid. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/270957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 That is good news, I went to one when I was in Buffalo, NY for training about three years ago. I liken it to a high end Dunkin Donuts. Wonder if Minnesota rights include the Cities? If so, could be a major coupe, as food franchising compnies have wanted to bring Horton's into the Cities for years. Maybe wanted Icon / AES for their development skills? Hortons and Dunkin Donuts are in a big time war, with the winner facing Starbucks. Starbucks to me is just a bit too yuppie, while Tim Horton's feels more like a small town cornerstore. Just in GGF, could see stores at 32nd, N Columbia, far S Washington, downtown, and EGF.

Potentially lots of Canadian traffic there and they would drffinitely be drawn to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The south end is definitely changing, for the better. Choice Fitness is a nice place. Choice Fitness looks nice...but was it built nice? Lots of quality craftsmanship was skipped over to get under budget and in the long run the taxpayer will be the ones fixing those issues later...

They are head of the goal and are in projected 2015 membership numbers to be self sufficient...So that is saying they couldn't add another membership however cant lose another one be sufficient until 2015 as of todays numbers if they kept the same price.

82SiouxGuy Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The city is listing a new ice center to be built on that land. http://gfplanning.we...e-facility.html The Park District has been raising money for this for more than a year. The Blue Line Club is a major supporter. I believe they have the majority of the money raised, but they don''t quite have all of it raised. It is going to be 2 sheets of ice. Eight locker rooms, I believe, will be between the rinks with seating over the top of the locker rooms. Part of the reason for the additional ice is because indoor ice time is at a premium in Grand Forks-East Grand Forks all winter. Youth hockey could use more time, figure skating wants a lot more time, and adult hockey has a lot of demand that can't be filled. The other reason for building these rinks is to bring a lot more hockey tournaments to town. Our local youth hockey teams play tournaments on the road all the time, and rarely play in town because they don't have available rink space. The current rinks are being used for league play on the weekends, especially Saturdays. Other youth hockey programs in the region would be interested in playing a tournament in Grand Forks versus having to travel longer distances. There are a lot of Canadian youth hockey teams looking for places to play tournaments. Plus the local figure skating group would like to add a couple of competitions. They project that they can book events in the building almost every weekend all winter. That equals a lot of hotel rooms filled on weekends, food and alcohol being served in restaurants, and shopping being done in local stores. The plan is to pay for construction with donations and to pay for regular operations with money made on the tournaments and other events on the weekends.

jdub27 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 They're preliminary menu was pretty good, and I ate there alot, so at least they have that going for them. Are you talking about Gilly's? Didn't realize they had reopened their kitchen. Very interested in seeing what kind of menu they can put together and if they can be successful at lunch for downtown, something like this could be real popular if they do it right..
