Kräftskiva

As expected with anything the Dayton brothers touch, their first anniversary block party for The Bachelor Farmer (+ Swedish crayfish party) was a resounding success. The North Loop needed a block party and now they have one. A great one.
Hoards of fashionable young things crowded into what could not have been a more perfect cobblestone location on a more perfect afternoon on Saturday. White lanterns floated above, yellow party hats below. The ATM on-​site was a plus, as was the Fulton beer and line-​up of live music. It felt perfectly Minneapolis.
The menu was chilled crayfish (of course) at $ 10 for six and $ 18 for a dozen. They also served Swedish meatballs (order of four for $ 7), corn on the cob, bannock and snow cones (maple or almond-​strawberry). I regret not ordering sweet corn. It looked like they were making it elote-​style, but it was dill butter. Mmmm.
I had SO much fun, but the event didn’t quite break five stars for me due to some first-​time hiccups that can easily be fixed:
–The beer line was snaking through the whole party (there was only one place to get beer). Considering the length of the line, it went fast, but there really should’ve been two (or more) beer tables to keep the lines smaller.
–Food portions were small for the prices — we would’ve been more likely to stay longer if we could’ve gotten our stomachs to stop growling, but we were hungry hippos and decided on another destination for dinner.
Again though, easy fixes… so good on you, guys! Can’t wait for next year!
