There is a new food court in the Mall of America.  It is located on the third floor on the north side of the Mall, appropriately named, Culinary on North.  It is designed for those who want a fast casual style of dining.  There are many dining options currently open with many scheduled to open soon, they include:

Shake Shack – Meatball Spot – Little Tokyo – A&W – Panda Express

Great Steak & Potato – Qdoba – Burger King – Piada – Naf Naf Grill

This new food court is part of the new phase of the Mall of America’s expansion.  It includes the JW Marriott Hotel and office space, that opens up onto Lindau Ave.

Now open at the Mall is ME 3D, located on the third level 356 E Broadway.  Three dimensional printing has come along way in recent years and now is available to experience at the Mall of America.  The first thing you will notice when entering the store is the 360 degree photo booth and looks like something out of Star Trek.  After stepping into the photo booth, you need to stay completely still for five seconds.  There are sixty different cameras that simultaneously capture you from all different angles. The total time to capture your image will take around 30 seconds and you have to stand totally still for an accurate image to be formed  The photos are then converted into a 3D format.  Models are then printed and ready to ship in about 14 days.

Some of the more popular models are children playing their favorite sports, a person’s profession, and pets.  Prices vary from $95 to $545 depending on which model you choose.

Here is a link to there site to check it out for yourself.
