Food Scene

This is our favorite restaurant in the city! It's a very small restaurant so be sure to leave some time to have a couple drinks at the bar before your table is ready or make a reservation ahead of time. It's great American food! Linger in the area to check out the Linden Hills neighborhood or go for a walk around Lake Harriett (3 miles around) before/after. Great date night or special event setting!

this is a super fun place to go with a group of people. the meals are all from the "hot zones" around the globe - so part asian inspiration and mexican. It sounds weird but it is really excellent. We would recommend getting the mojitos if you like to drink, and getting an order of coconut pinneapple shrimp curry! So spectacular! This is a popular place to do some shopping also, so you might want to get to Uptown a bit earlier than your reservation if you want to shop.

The tagline on Minnesota License Plates is "Land of 10,000 Lakes" and indeed it is - with more shoreline that California and Florida combined! Take a drive out to COV in Wayzata for a drink or dinner overlooking Lake Minnetonka from their patio!

Looking for a fun - uniquely Minnesotan experience? How about a Juicy Lucy? Never heard of it? It's a hamburger filled with cheese, or cheese and peanut butter and jelly, or hot sauce!! We recommend trying the Traditional and PB&J with a side of sweet potato fries and marshmellow/blue cheese dipping sauce. You won't regret it :)

Arts & Culture

The Museum and the outdoor sculpture garden are must sees! The Walker and its curators are simply the best. Their exhibits are relevant, informative and leading edge. Make time if this is your scene. Thursday nights, admission to the museum is FREE! Thanks, Target Corporation! Want a good place to take your Minneapolis photo? Go to the roof top patio overlooking the downtown skyline OR just in front of the "Spoon and Cherry" in the sculpture garden.
