“Let’s Grow Camden Together! Shop Locally!” was the theme for this year’s NWMBA 6th Annual Fall Social Event at 42nd Avenue Station on October 19. Twenty-five business members heard CPED Principal Project Coor-dinator Erik Hansen share his role as a liaison with businesses and the city since “the city speaks it’s own language sometimes.” He also shared info about the City’s 2-percent loan program and how he and the city are working to “learn more about operating a business in the City” by meeting individually with business owners and touring their businesses to see what it’s really like to do business in Minneapolis. Congressman Keith Ellison’s Deputy District Director Darlynn Benjamin delivered a letter from the congressman conveying his praise of NWMBA’s efforts to support the local businesses and community.
Get ready for a new bite — City Afrique, at 4326 and Lyndale (just a couple doors south from the great soul food restaurant Tahtianna’s), has food that will melt your mouth. It’s a family owned and run business, and the head chef has been in the catering business since she graduated for the Cordon Blue five years ago. She can fry up a fish like you would not believe. Here’s a teaser of the menu: Cassava leaf (very spicy but great meat), potato greens, togbogee, Fufu and soup (all with meat), and the Attieke or “Crazy” fish dishes — which are fantastic! They also have a great assortment of appetizers.You can call in orders at 612-353-6084. They also have a great space for private parties, meetings, gatherings, etc. Check www.cityafriquue.com.
