A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

venue Nye's Polonaise Room

Polish immigrant Al Nye launched his supper club more than 50 years ago, back when Northeast Minneapolis was still called Nordeast and populated by blue-collar folks proud of Old World ties. Not much has changed inside, from the red neon logo to Lou Snyder, the blonde-bouffant-bedecked septuagenarian who’s tickled the ivories to the delight of several generations. From the curvy, gold-spangled booths, red-flocked wallpaper, and sparkling chandeliers to the hearty Polish cooking, it’ll make you think everything after 1955 was just a passing fad.
