If there's one thing missing from our monthly outing to First Friday it's blueberry mochi cake. Don't get us wrong. We like street-side brats and popcorn as much as the next guy, but even once in a while we want to class it up. Seems Matt Carter of Nine 05 feels the same way.

(Their plans to further transform the corner of Fourth Street and Garfield in the coming months include another two new restaurants -- Canteen, a European gastro-pub going in next door to Nine 05, and El Rey Taqueria.
