The Minnesota Sword Club is in a small shopping area crossed by Chicago Avenue and 48th Street. In this area there are eleven restaurants, two gift shops, a specialty sewing shop plus a variety of other stores.
You may eat at:
--Turtle Bread: Wonderful foods to eat in and breads to take out. People come from all over for this restaurant.
--Levan Bistro: A family bistro with great food and a wonderful chef. You will have to try it to find out how good it is.
--Pepitoes Mexican Restaurant, Great mexican food. Just be careful because you might eat too much.
--Town Hall Tap: A nice place to sit, relax and enjoy some good food, wine or beer.
--Pizza Bigga: Wood fired pizza. If you like special pizza you will like their pizza.
--Bo-Gu Sushi and Thai: Sushi and Thai are their speciality. They have a great patio and it is beautiful inside. The food is really good. You need to try them if you like asian food.
--Adrians Tavern: Great hamburgers and fries. It is a 3.2 bar that fencers go to after practice.
--Sovereign Grounds: A family run coffee house with home made cake. My favorite coffee house. A good place to bring young children while you have some coffee, cake or a light sandwich.
--Chinese Take out: It's on 48th. Bring your supper home already cooked. Great fried rice.
--Pizza Hut: Take out only. The kids like to order a pizza, walk the half block, bring it back to the Sword Club and leave the empty boxes for the coaches to dispose. (Typical teen ages.)
--Pumphouse Ceamery: Home made ice cream. They have been listed in the top five home made ice cream shops in the Twin Cities Area. Good ice cream. The fencers eat a lot of it.
Star Moon Chinese Restaurant - Mainly a carry out. Many fencers purchase food and bring it to the Sword Club to eat.
