[Vision2020] Restaurants/Bars in Moscow (was Parking Survey)

[Pat Kraut]

But, lots of coffee on main street! My disappointment when I found out the building above the Wal mart was going to do with teeth was profound. I hoped it would be a really good steak house with a great view...ah well. While I do some shopping here I save up and then I go to Spokane to shop and to eat and that is not going to change very fast. I agree that we need more variety here in Moscow.

  This is one thing that really baffles me about this town. It's supposed to be a college town, but the only nightlife we have is seedy bars crawling with frat boys where I'm likely to get my ass grabbed. I am only 23 but I almost never go to the bars anymore, maybe if there was an indoor smoking ban I may consider it. The crowd at those places is just not much fun, and I practically suffocate trying to dance at the Alley (which is, oddly enough, the only place that has live music on a consistent basis). 


  There is definitely a serious lack of restaurants, especially nicer and healthier organic ones geared towards the older-than-college-age crowd (Red Door being an exception, but there are only a couple dishes I can actually eat there). It's damn near impossible to find something I can eat in a nice restaurant in this town (I'm vegan & eat organic, the Co-op is pretty much the only place I can get a meal I don't cook myself). You'd think a town that is known for being on the liberal side would be a little more vegetarian friendly. I'm getting sick of the 8 or so vegetarian items on Sangria's menu, even though they're all pretty damn good. No juice bar? No raw food cafe? Not even a decent place to get pizza! (Now that I really can't believe in a college town, all the pizza places are really quite awful - and is there even a sit-down pizza place now that Brenagans is closed?). 


  I guess I could open a business such as a brick-oven pizza joint that actually served up some vegan/vegetarian organic pizza. But my art degree didn't require any business classes, so I have a feeling I wouldn't know what I'm doing. And I'm not sure how much support a vegetarian restaurant would get anyway.... oh, and it takes money to open a business. :)


  Anyway, it's been a while since I've participated in Vision2020 after being unsubscribed for a while, so just thought I'd chime in and let you know that the crazy animal rights activist/vegan chick is still here... just not sure for how much longer. :) It won't be too long before I move somewhere on the west coast where I'm in the majority instead of the minority and can actually eat at a restaurant where I'm positive no animal flesh was cooked on the grill my food was made on.... Moscow is hard to leave but I'm sure I'll finally get around to it sometime.


  Ciao for now, visionaries. It's always fun watching the mud fly around here. :)

    And seriously. . . .how many night spots are there in Moscow for young people to go to for fun?  Is there really any NICE place to take a date and go dancing?  I'll even go so far to say this. . . . is there any nice night spot for a middle-aged couple to go to for dinner, a drink and maybe a dance?  THINK ABOUT IT!!
