Heading to Uptown? While the rooftop bar (above) at Uptown Cafeteria is still open, the main restaurant space closed yesterday for a quick conversion to a “modern steakhouse” Parasole concept called Libertine (opening July 16). Speaking of rebranding, Urban Bean on Bryant is about to be known as Canteen, with baked goods from Canteen Girl… and The Bad Waitress expects only minor changes despite new owners. In unrelated news, if tuning into a one-time live stream of a 13-hour-long, Yule log-style smoking meat marketing stunt sounds like it’s up your alley, the Arby’s brisket commercial that aired in Duluth last Saturday goes up online today.
