Mondays are the new Friday night with music and food at the Dakota (1010 Nicollet Mall, Mpls., dakotacooks.com). Chef Remy Pettus is going to whip up a special menu for the evening; curious or budget-conscious music fans can check out the venue, take in some music and experience a Southern-style dish or two.
