"As businesses across the city begin to return to "business as usual" following a truly challenging year, it's a beautiful thing to see the Highlander Accelerator's Dining Room alive again with patio and dine-in seating options as well as a new bar operator, Dena's Place. 75 North is excited to welcome Dena's Place to the Highlander family and is eager to support their business venture in the building. The bar will add a lot of energy to an already bustling food hall anchored by Big Mama's Kitchen and Best Burger."
