ATTENTION! Broders' PIZZA is back. In early April, fans of Broders' Cucina Italiana were devastated when a fire tore through their range hood and up into the roof, shutting down the pizza operation.

"We are grateful that our guests have been patient and continued to support us all along," said Executive Director Charlie Broder.

We repeat: Broders' pizza is available once again, effective immediately.

An update on Harry Singh's Original Caribbean Restaurant: its closing is not imminent. Yesterday, at The Business, Inspections, Housing & Zoning Committee meeting there was a "quasi-judicial" hearing for the long-time Whittier eatery because of unpaid taxes. A State of Minnesota statue requires the city to pull a business license after 30 days of being notified on unpaid taxes. The good news: city staff are in contact with Harry Singh and Councilmember Aisha Chughtai is working to support what she called "a treasure of Eat Street.”

At the meeting, the committee also approved Kruse Koffee & Markit Co.'s sidewalk cafe and wine licenses.

OUT & ABOUT 🚃

As someone with a lot of permanent body art, it took me way too long to grasp the concept of "permanent jewelry." Today at June, Link x Lou is doing a pop-up event where you can "get linked" aka get a chain on your wrist or ankle that has no clasp, hence the permanent nature of it all.

Icehouse is hosting a fundraiser for Poliça's bass player, Chris Bierden, after he underwent emergency surgery for a recently discovered brain tumor. The Cactus Blossoms are playing, along with Sid Sriram and Centrific.

It's National Sober Day and Art + Rec is celebrating. Sample some shrubs, also known as drinking vinegars, and relax on their rooftop.
