Restaurants

If dining out sounds like a good idea, it's best to check the social media accounts of your favorite eatery first. Several restaurants have closed or reduced hours over the next couple of days, and it's easier to inform diners via a quick Facebook or Instagram post rather than updating the website. And you might get a little chuckle in the process: The Instagram reel from chef Adam Vickerman's Tosca in Minneapolis shows how it's done.

Black History Month events

Bloomington's Pioneers and Changemakers awards ceremony has been postponed until March 10. The Bloomington Black Employee Network sponsors the recognition and networking event as part of its work to foster inclusion and opportunities in the city.
