The recent arrival of CHS Field and the growth of St. Paul’s Lowertown small neighborhood has knocked over North Loop for the buzziest neighborhood in the Twin Cities.  If you’re headed over there for a St. Paul Saints game stop by some of these places, but honestly you don’t need a game to walk through this fun eclectic gem of streets.

Saint Dinette

Copy Link
The power couple of Tim Niver and JD Fratzke and culinary musings of Adam Eaton have lived up to the hype. The burger is now on the short list of Twin Cities food lovers as one of the best around. The crinkle fries will satisfy any youngsters along for the game. The lovably weird smelt fries with remoulade are a highlight. Make sure to grab a fun thoughtful cocktail before getting a beer at the field. [Photo by Katie Cannon]

Chef and owner Lenny Russo has complemented the field happenings with his wine bar. The casual food done right is just what the baseball gods ordered. Sandwiches like the hot Cubano and vegetarian hoagie satisfy and the salads and sweets make the meal complete. Bonus: Food gets a 10% discount on Saints game days. [Eater file photo]

Big River Pizza

Copy Link
Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza is never a bad thing. Big River brings variety to Lowertown, and let’s face it a cheese pizza is sometimes just what the kiddos want. That’s okay because then the big kids can get the Dr. Zeus: mozzarella, tomato, red onion, Kalamata olives, artichoke, spinach and feta finished with lemon or the 10,000 Leeks,leek Gruyere, potato, sour cream. FYI, there’s breakfast pizza, because what says yum more than an egg on some toasty pizza crust? [Photo courtesy Yelp]

This location will give the sports fanatic the beer selection they need and the hearty plates of food to tame the biggest of appetites.
