Palace Pub to take the place of Wrestaurant at the Palace starting next week
The restaurant next door to the Palace Theatre in downtown St. Paul is finally reopening after extensive water damage caused its closure last fall.
The new name for the restaurant, which will be run by First Avenue, is Palace Pub. Wrestaurant at the Palace is no more.
'After months of repairs and reflection, we made the decision to officially close that chapter,' the First Avenue folks said in a news release. 'Now, we're ready for what's next.'
The restaurant will officially open Tuesday, June 17, with happy hour, dinner and late-night bites.
The menu includes thin-crust pizza (a stark departure from Wrestaurant's thick-crust Detroit-style pies), sandwiches and appetizers. There will be a full bar with a cocktail menu, local beer, wine, THC beverages and other non-alcoholic options.
Regular hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. with the kitchen open until 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday.
The restaurant will also open on Sunday or Monday if there are events at the Palace or the Xcel Energy Center.
'We're excited to bring something fresh to this iconic space,' said Marc Dickhut, First Avenue director of general operations, in the release. 'Our team has put the time into creating a spot that feels easy, welcoming, and fun — whether you're grabbing a quick drink before a show, hanging late with friends, or stopping in for food downtown. We can't wait to open the doors and be part of the renewed energy in downtown St. Paul.'
The Palace Theatre is owned by the city and co-managed by First Avenue and JAM Productions.

NASCAR Driver Lists Luxurious European Style NC Estate For a Massive Price
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr.'s private European-style home in North Carolina just got listed for a massive price tag of $7.5 million. With an area of 14,000 square feet (approx.), located on a property spanning 4.82 acres on Lake Norman, there's a lot more on offer than just a fancy house. Truex Jr. parted ways with full-time NASCAR racing after the 2024 season, having secured a Cup Series championship in 2017 and two Xfinity Series championships in 2004 and 2005. The 44-year-old driver has switched to part-time racing in the stock car series. His last appearance in NASCAR was at the 2025 Daytona 500, where he raced for Tricon Garage in the No. 56 Toyota. The property on sale features 5 bedrooms and 9 baths, and is located on the waterfront. Being a racing driver, the house sports a garage for working on the cars, in addition to a large parking space to store those prized possessions. Austin Cindric, driver of the #2 Discount Tire Ford and Corey LaJoie, driver of the #01 Take 5 Oil Change/DuraMax Ford lead the field during the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway... Austin Cindric, driver of the #2 Discount Tire Ford and Corey LaJoie, driver of the #01 Take 5 Oil Change/DuraMax Ford lead the field during the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 16, 2025 in Daytona Beach, Florida. MoreIn addition, the property screams luxury with a spa bath, a 2-story closet, and a lavish living room. Indoor highlights include a gym, theater, custom bar, and game area, while a waterfall with an infinity pool and a private dock with a boat lift make up the exterior attractions. The estate has been listed on Zillow, which states all that is on offer: "Home to NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr., this private European-style estate on Lake Norman offers over 14,000 sq ft of luxury living on almost 5 gated, waterfront acres. A tree-lined drive leads to a stunning main house, carriage house with guest apartment, and expansive workshop/garage. "The main home features a grand living room with soaring ceilings and lake views, a chef's kitchen, formal dining, and a main-level primary suite with a spa bath and 2-story closet. Upstairs offers en-suite guest rooms and a second office with a loft. The finished basement includes a custom bar, theater, gym, and game area. Outside, enjoy a resort-style infinity pool, waterfall, fire pit, and private dock with boat lift. "A detached garage with finished space above adds even more flexibility. This home is perfect for a car enthusiast, with ample amount of garage spaces and workshop. An entertainer's dream and rare waterfront offering—experience luxury lake living with a championship pedigree." Kyle Busch also recently listed his 15,000-square-foot barndominium for $4.5 million. Newsweek Sports reported the listing earlier this month, which would lure any car or racing enthusiast, considering the underground garages and fuel storage on offer. Busch listed the property for sale since he didn't have enough time to spend there. He wrote: "We love this piece of land and the amazing barndominium but right now we just don't have enough time to spend there. We can't wait for someone to love it as much as we have!"

MSNBC Host Cracks Up Over Trump Email About Parade: 'Sorry, That's A Funny Sentence'
MSNBC host Chris Hayes couldn't contain his laughter on air Friday while reading a fundraising email from President Donald Trump. The email asked for donations for his Saturday military parade, which, as it turns out, most Americans aren't that eager to fund. 'Donald Trump is holding a North Korean-style military parade, Soviet-style military parade through the nation's capital, something that we just don't do as a country,' said Hayes. 'The last one we did was after the first Persian Gulf War, which was celebrating the end of a war.' He continued, 'We don't have that here. It just so happens to fall on his 79th birthday. He's even fundraising from it, if you could believe it — well, you can, of course — sending out this email with the subject line, quote, 'Please help me before my military parade!'' Hayes broke into laughter reading that last line aloud, as a screenshot of the email was displayed onscreen. He quickly composed himself and continued his coverage on the impending Washington, D.C., event. 'I'm sorry, that's a funny sentence,' said Hayes. ''My military parade.'' Trump has never served in the armed forces and reportedly avoided the Vietnam War draft with a diagnosis of bone spurs in his feet. The daughter of the doctor who provided the diagnosis later said he had done so as a favor to his landlord — Trump's father, Fred Trump. The parade and surrounding festivities are meant to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, though the event notably also falls on Trump's 79th birthday. It is set to feature nearly 7,000 troops, various ground vehicles and fighter jet flyovers in a display that could cost up to $45 million. It will coincide with expected protests across the country, which retired military officials believe could be a dangerous combination. 'Donald Trump has already promised, quote, 'very heavy force' against anyone who would choose to protest his special day,' Hayes said Friday. 'He didn't direct this at rioters or looters or people that broke the law, you know. He said protesters would be met with very heavy force.' The president issued that warning Tuesday from the Oval Office.

This new Wine Country restaurant makes all its own pasta. This is the one to order
Each week, critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan shares some of her favorite recent bites, the dishes and snacks and baked goods that didn't find their way into a full review. Want the list a few days earlier? Sign up for her free newsletter, Bite Curious. Creste di gallo, a short-cut pasta, is so named because of its resemblance to a cockscomb, but the version at Stella reminds me more of octopus tentacles entwined under a shower of cheese and parsley. The new Kenwood restaurant from the team behind the Glen Ellen Star makes all its pastas in house, and the creste di gallo ($27) dish is a standout. It embraces the flavor profile of a chicken liver crostino, the sweetness of vidalia onions and aged balsamic vinegar playing off the earthiness of a brothy chicken liver ragu. I'm sure other cuts of pasta would have worked equally well, but I appreciate the playfulness of serving a rooster's comb alongside a chicken's liver. Like everyone else who goes into an office, I'm constantly on the hunt for good lunch options within walking distance of the Chronicle's building on Fifth and Mission. I thought I had exhausted them all, but I recently came across The Roll, a Japanese restaurant that specializes in Edomae-style sushi that opened last year. Its signature roll ($15) was well seasoned and generous with the fish, but what I'll return for is the stuffed spins on inari sushi, which typically feature rice tucked inside pockets of fried tofu. Each one resembles a sweet little boat. The Roll offers three for $17 or five for $26, including a side of seaweed salad, and each piece is big enough to split between two people, if somewhat difficult to cut in half. I was tickled to see, in addition to more usual topping suspects like dry-aged tuna ($6) and salmon with yuzu kosho ($6), less conventional options like corn cheese ($5) and yakiniku beef topped with a quail egg ($5). Gougères are simply too small. I could eat a dozen of those darling cheesy puffs, 70% air and barely larger than a ping pong ball. Tartine apparently agrees, because its gougère is no dainty passed hors d'oeuvre — it's massive, more like a concha or bialy in size. A burnished, Gruyere-topped crust gives way to a beautifully rich and eggy interior. Aside from the brobdingnagian proportions, what sets Tartine's gougère apart is the assertive presence of black pepper. Cacio e pepe fans, this one's for you.
