Saturday Night at Sebastian Joe’s (For a Little While)
Once upon a time, there used to be a couple spots for ice cream in Minneapolis’ Uptown neighborhood.
Now, it seems there’s just one: Minneapolis quasi-institution Sebastian Joe’s, just west of Franklin and Hennepin (personal favorite: “Nicollet Avenue Pothole”).
Or, at least it seemed that way earlier tonight, with a line I’d conservatively estimate at 50(!) people long (that tiny white board in the center of the photo is the ice cream menu).
Plan B
Not wanting to waste the gorgeous evening inside, my sons and I biked south on Hennepin, where we bought (packaged) ice cream from Lund’s frozen food case.
Cost for 3 ice cream bars: $4.
As an added side benefit, we enjoyed the outside patio just to the north of the store, and the balmy evening breeze.
