Meyvn
Head uptown to 901 W. Lake St. for Meyvn, a modern eatery featuring breakfast fare, small plates, sandwiches, salads and libations.
The restaurant, which comes courtesy of chef Adam Eaton and restaurateur Tim Niver, is looking to "explore Jewish cuisine through the lens of fine dining in a restaurant that is mainly counter service," reports Eater Twin Cities.
On the menu, look for a hot pastrami sandwich with mustard, tabbouleh salad, latkes and bagels with schmear. The full-service bar offers beer, wine and cocktails. Check out the menu here.
Underground Music Cafe
Now open at 408 N. Third Ave. in the North Loop is Underground Music Cafe, a music venue and beer bar.
This spot has live music every night of the week and serves burgers, sandwiches (muffuletta, grilled cheese and the salami provolone melt, to name a few) and shareables like a hummus plate and an artisan cheese board. Grab a brew, shot of liquor or a signature cocktail to pair with your grub. Check out the business' website for more information.
