Get In My Belly!

• Fargo Moorhead Eats - this Facebook Group is the best place in town to learn about local food & drink, and ask questions.

• Tropical Spice Caribbean Cuisine recently open in north Fargo at 3132 N Broadway.

• It’s that time of year to visit area wineries & cideries. The Fargo Moorhead CVB site has a nice summary of the establishments.

• Anyone else sometimes just daydream about the pasta at Spaghetti Western, particularly the Carbonara for me? Their taste & texture of their homemade pasta is so good.

Acts Of Kindness

• Check out all the individuals you can support via Lend A Hand Up.

• Help local awesome place Wild Terra get through a financial hiccup that stems from an equipment failure. You will not only feel good helping these entrepreneurs that have done a lot for our community quality of life, but they are also offering some incentives based on different support tiers. Support them here.

Shout-outs & Shameless Plugs

• The Kickstarter for the board game “Vicious Gardens”, published in partnership with Fargo’s Pops & Bejou Games is now over $270,000 with 2 weeks to go! Just completely destroying their $12,000 goal.

• Congrats to the team behind Brewhalla as well as all of the tenants on the recent-ish one-year anniversary of the facility. It was a huge undertaking & investment, and HUGE thanks for adding this amenity to our community!

Well That’s Interesting

• Not like much of anyone are one it, but we also have a Threads account. This platform doesn’t have the neat icon to show that, so here it is - THIS, RIGHT HERE, CLICK IT.

• Downtown Fargo Parking - I find I’m often educating people on downtown parking, if they aren’t familiar with it. If you’re not aware, the parking ramps at Roberts Commons and Merchantile offer free parking after 5pm and on the weekends. Plus the first 2 hours are free during the weekdays. This is super convenient when coming downtown to eat/shop/attend and I already have a hard time imagining the downtown w/o this parking anymore. An added bonus is that this covered parking keeps the snow off in the winter and the cars cooler in the summer.
