F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, lived here when their daughter, Scottie, was born in 1921.
In 1921 Fitzgerald wrote: "We got to the Commodore in St. Paul, and while the leaves blew up the street we waited for our children to be born."
The Commodore is available for private bookings, and apparently has a limited public use once a year.

Mickey's Diner is an old school Art-Deco diner car, made and installed before World War II. Apparently, it has been operating non-stop since then. Featured in a number of movies, it also has good comfort food and delicious shakes.
There is a second location down W. 7th st, but this is the location featured in several films.
