Neighborhood Guide: Des Moines

by Good. Food. Stories. Contributor May 10, 2012

“When I moved to Des Moines from Harlem about three years ago, I knew that I wanted to be in a neighborhood with a lot to offer. I was feeling ready for a change—but that didn’t extend to losing the convenience of city life that I was used to.

“As a budding food lover in West Palm, I made it my mission to discover quality eats in my own backyard. My high school friends and I tried sushi for the first time, checked out a questionable-looking but tasty Mexican restaurant in a strip mall, ate in an Indian place decked out in Christmas lights, and taste-tested all of the major Cuban eateries in town.”

by Meredith Brown July 14, 2010

“Finally, for some old school English nosh, try F. Cooke. This traditional English pie and mash shop opened in 1900 when Fred Cooke started selling jellied eels to the folk hanging around the original fruit and vegetable market.”

by Christine Miksis May 19, 2010

“If you’ve traveled to Paris, you’ve probably been to the Latin Quarter, Saint-Germain-des-Pr�s and le Marais, but you may have missed their unassuming yet stylish neighbor, the 2nd arrondissement. Quelle surprise�this neighborhood with a true local, Parisian feel also happens to be my home.”
