Minnesota Monthly loves Loring Park

For the second year in a row, Minnesota Monthly magazine has included Lunalux in its annual Best of the Cities feature. We’ve been tapped for Best Paper Goods, and the write-up on page 75 makes us blush just a little… OK a lot! Praise for our Stationery Saturday series is followed by this: “The shop’s top reputation for custom-designed, letterpress-printed invitations, stationery, calling cards, announcements and more continues to grow.” Aw, shucks! We’re tickled and honored and grateful to be included. Congratulations also go to our neighbors who are mentioned in this feature – Nick and Eddie chef Derik Moran made the list of best chefs (they call him the Rising Star), and Cafe Lurcat has been flagged for Best French Fries. Are we the most decorated block in the metro area or what?

You can read part of the Best of the Cities feature on the Minnesota Monthly website, but to see the whole feature (including the bit about us) you’ll have to get your paws on a hard copy. Which shouldn’t be hard, because the September 2010 issue just hit news stands a few days ago.

Lunalux included in Best of the Cities

Minnesota Monthly’s annual Best of the Cities issue hit newsstands in October, and we are thrilled that Lunalux got the nod for Best Personalized Stationery. The blurb about our shop (on page 55, if you have your issue handy) highlights Stationery Saturdays, the occasional event that gives customers the rare opportunity to procure personalized letterpress-printed stationery for the bargain-basement price of $29. We’re honored that the magazine staff included us in the list of the Twin Cities’ best stuff, and the good company makes us blush; who doesn’t want to be in the same list as La Belle Vie, B.T. McElrath’s Salty Dog chocolate bar, and the Walker Art Center’s gift shop? If your interest in Stationery Saturday is piqued, you’ll be glad to know there are two more scheduled for this year: November 28 and December 19. Click here to read more about the event.
