Bargain Bites: Burger Mondays at A-Side Public House

Kyle here. It's not unheard of to pay $12 for a beer — so when I heard St. Paul's A-Side Public House will also toss in a burger and fries for that price, I was there. Dig in: Axios reader Brittany flagged me to A-Side's Burger Monday deal, which comes with any craft beer on the menu — normally an $8 value. This was no cheap lager; I drank a hazy IPA. What to expect: A perfectly decent, single-patty burger — complete with a buttered bun and a tangy sauce — and a generous portion of crispy, fluffy fries. Not bad for, effectively, four extra bucks (before tax and tip). Plus: A-Side also offers a "kids eat free" deal on Sunday nights, Brittany notes. 📣 Know a good meal deal/steal we should feature in the newsletter? Let us know at twincities@axios.com.

Como Park Zoo euthanizes Skeeter the giraffe, a favorite of visitors and zookeepers

Skeeter the giraffe, who called St. Paul’s Como Park Zoo home for 16 years, was euthanized Thursday following months of declining health. “It’s hard to put into words what Skeeter has meant to our community. Skeeter was everyone’s giraffe,” senior zookeeper Jill Erzar said in a news release. “He was our tallest animal, our largest by weight, and I would argue our most charismatic. He inspired countless children with his soulful eyes and the excited way he took snacks.”
