Crescent Moon Bakery

Kathee and I took a drive this afternoon over to the Crescent Moon Bakery. North Minneapolis is a true cross cultural zone in Minnesota. On Central there are Vietnamese restaurants, Indian restaurants, and Afghanee restaurants. Further North in Columbia Heights there is a Jerusalem market! The residents have learned to co-exist! The Crescent Moon is Arabic. Al Jazeera is displayed on a large flat screen monitor in the restaurant. English is spoken but not often heard.

Address: 2339 Central Ave. NE, Minneapolis

The Crescent Moon is a combination bakery, grocery, and restaurant. We've eaten there before and it is very good. Today's trip (it actually wasn't our destination - we were wandering) was to buy dried fruit. Today I bought dried white mulberries and dried plums.

Mulberries are an excellent snack ... so tasty. Kathee is not that fond of them. More for me! The dried fruit we bought today are products of Pakistan.
