Food Scene

Nina's has a unique atmosphere (usually full of interesting people and table sharing is encouraged) with wonderful coffees and teas as well as bakery items and a food menu. Never had anything I didn't like! The building it is in is called The Arcade and it has amazing character - I'd encourage you to wander around a bit!

Iconic Minneapolis breakfast spot with great history (began in 1950), unique atmosphere (only about 10 feet wide), and delicious food (the hollandaise sauce is particularly good). Prepare for a bit of a wait as there are only about a dozen seats at the counter but it's a fun part of the experience and service goes quickly.

Best croissants I've ever had in the states, tucked away in a little hole-in-the-wall place. Better get there early though, they sell out by 10am usually.

A great restaurant/bar hybrid in a cute part of town - great patio in the summer. It boasts something like 80 rotating taps of the best beers from across the land, has a stellar whiskey selection, and fantastic food. (The name recently changed to The Gnome Craft Pub but the guidebook format won't let me change it).

A Minneapolis landmark, we suggest visiting solely to see the views of the Mississippi and Stone Arch Bridge! There are also tours that focus on different aspects of the theatre (backstage, architecture, etc.) in addition to the amazing shows that are put on. We also have had fun rushing tickets, if you decide last minute you want to see a show!

If you want to understand our Swedish Heritage, then the ASI will give you some great insights as the museum winds it's way through the South Minneapolis castle in which it's situated. The gourmet cafe inside it is also to die for. Plenty of activities for kids.

A donations-based gallery, many people are amazed at the selection of things to see. The building itself is beautiful and the art collection is extensive. You can find incredible art from every continent and time period - one day won't be enough! They also have interactive activities set up at certain times for children (and curious adults) to engage directly with the history and creativity of what they see around them.

Sightseeing

You will feel like you are in Europe! The Cathedral is open daily to visit and they have regular mass times listed on their website. The organ was recently restored and is magnificent - if you can attend a concert there, we highly recommend it! Their tours offer some interesting information on the details of the Cathedral as well as how it ties in with the history of the area (my favorite thing to learn about was the shrine that recognizes all the immigrant groups to the area).
