Cheap and awesome sushi. I miss O in Norman, Oklahoma so much. Awesome rolls, half-price at lunch on weekdays

Chick-fil-a. For reals. There is no justice Downtown until there›s a Chick-fil-a that is open to all.

American Heart Association – Central Iowa
Our vote is for a salad spot 🙂

Tandoor needs to move from 8th Street in West Des Moines to downtown. Indian food can’t be beat.

The last thing I want is our amazing #downtown #DSM overrun with large chain food. Keep it real, local, & focused. Maybe IceCreamParlor old fashioned soda jerk, etc.

Downtown needs a big-burrito place like Chipotle, or maybe a similar non-chain establishment

A great breakfast place-not brunch but breakfast: pancakes, waffles, custom omelets, fresh juice, frittatas, make it unique

I think tasty tacos would be very successful downtown.

A spit mounted lamb Gyro stand a la Turkish (great idea Jay M. Carstensen!)
