The651 visits Pazzaluna!
by ccp on Mar.09, 2010, under Guest Blog
On Friday, February 26, the651 stopped by Pazzaluna and met with Executive Chef, Wil Borgstrom. Wil prepared a signature Pazzaluna dish that you could re-create at home…if you dare!
Wil arranged porcini mushroom-crusted veal medallions on linguine with garlic butter, sauteed mushrooms and spinach, topped off with roasted tomato butter sauce.
Make sure to check out the video to see how “easy” the dish is to make at home for you, your family or a loved one.
If you become a fan of Pazzaluna by March 10th, you will be entered into a drawing to win a $20 Pazzaluna gift card!
Saint Paul’s Best-Dressed
by ccp on Mar.04, 2010, under Guest Blog
This week, the651 visited Heimie’s Haberdashery in search of a fashion-forward, but versatile, working man’s wardrobe. Do you know how to mix and match your clothes and take them from day to night? Well, we attempted to take a professional man from work day to casual (but not too casual) in a matter of minutes!
We recruited some of St. Paul’s most stylish men to model for us!
Greg Pike
Todd Walker
Adam Johnson
Greg Pike styled: Heimie’s own Custom Label suit, $1075; JC Richards tie, $95; Bruno Piattelli pocket square, $24; Allen Edmonds shoes, $325
Greg is the hotel Manager for Holiday Inn, Saint Paul-RiverCentre. When you need a place to stay…call Greg! If Greg doesn’t answer, he is probably spending time with his family or attending a Minnesota WILD game!
Todd Walker styled: Peter Millar sport coat, $695; Enzo dress shirt, $98; pocket square, $55; cufflinks, $125
Todd is a reporter for Fox 9 and does the “Man About Town” feature. He also stops in to my Talk 107.1 to give his “weekend hit list.” You probably have seen Todd in various magazines around the Twin Cities exemplifying his Metro area socialite status!
Adam Johnson styled: Heimie’s own Custom Label 3-piece suit, $1075; JC Richards tie, $95; pocket square, $24; Allen Edmonds shoes, $198
Adam is the Interim Vice President of Marketing at the Saint Paul Convention & Visitors Authority. Adam is our 651.com “Off The Beaten Path” writer. If you see the same tall gentleman in more than one spot around the city…it’s probably Adam…stalking you!
Check out the video to see how they did!
Behind the scenes:
Vincent, Store Manager at Heimie's, walking us through Todd's casual look.
And we are rolling!
Greg & Adam...having a good time!

Cities 97’s BT Shares his St. Paul Sampler
by Editor on Aug.27, 2009, under Guest Blog
BT MCing the Gear Daddies at the MN Zoo
From the station that brings you the “Cities Sampler” each year, we recruited BT to share his St. Paul sampler with us. Check out what BT likes to do when he’s not flippin’ disks on the Cities 97 Morning Show!
Honestly, the border pendulum swings both ways between citizens of our respective Twin Cities, but I’d have to say the weight falls a bit heavier on the west-to-east equation. Here’s what I mean. Sure, you’ve got a ton of St. Paulites who freak out heading westward into the “MinneApple” (as God-awful a catch-phrase as ever created), but frankly I think the percentage of Minneapolitans who can’t cross the river into the Capital City without acquiring a case of hives or conniptions is substantially larger. So I’ve made it one of my missions in life to quell the unease and discomfort of those affected thusly. Attention residents of the (also known as) “Mill City.” You do NOT need a passport to cross the border into St. Paul!
All of St. Paul is cool in my book, but for today I’ll do a two-neighborhood “Cities Sampler,” if I may, and will begin with a focus on Lowertown.

We’re certainly consistent!

Alright- this is the LAST time that we’re going to give away our Slices & Scoops package. It’s still $25 of slices at Punch and $25 of scoops at Grand Ole Creamery and it’s just as delicious. We would have moved onto something else, but the response from you all is still pretty wild ( read: lots and lots of entries.) Register to win by subscribing to our e-newsletter or send an email to info@stpaulstaycation.com with “Slices & Scoops ” as the subject. Good luck!
