Things To Do
HeadFlyer Brewing
A cozy neighborhood brewery in Northeast Minneapolis and the site of our first date!
Minneapolis Cider Company
Jaclyn and Theo play in the winter league here - it’s where they won the social league… and got absolutely demolished in the competitive one. Grab a cider flight or rent a pickleball court!
Guthrie Theater
Theo took Jaclyn here on our second date, earning him the nickname “Playboy” from her friends.
Gold Medal Park
A peaceful green space near the riverfront, known for its spiral walkway and beautiful views of the city. It’s also where Theo proposed!
Mill City Farmers Market
This Saturday morning market is just a short walk from The Depot and it’s right next to the Guthrie and Gold Medal Park, so you can make a morning of it.
Stone Arch Bridge
A scenic pedestrian bridge over the Mississippi River with stunning views of downtown and St. Anthony Falls. It's where the picture on this page was taken!
Bar La Grassa
An Italian restaurant in the North Loop - Jaclyn’s first neighborhood when she moved to Minneapolis. Founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Isaac Becker, it’s known for handmade pastas, a great wine list, and an always-buzzing atmosphere. It’s also where we celebrated our engagement! We recommend making a reservation - this place fills up fast.
Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot
A historic train station turned hotel, it’s fun to explore even if you’re not staying there. Check out the preserved train shed, grab a drink at the bar, or admire the architecture.
Marty's Deli
Home to the best sandwiches in town. Jaclyn’s a devoted fan of their GF focaccia. Do yourself a favor and grab a breakfast sammy the morning after the wedding.
Acme Comedy Company
A favorite date night spot. Grab a drink at the bar and get ready to laugh until your face hurts.
Billy Sushi ビリー寿司
Hands down one of our favorite sushi spots. If you're up for a nightcap, head downstairs to Billy After Dark, the speakeasy hidden beneath the restaurant.
Porzana
If you’re in the mood for a fancy date night, Porzana is an Argentinian wood-fire steakhouse by Chef Daniel del Prado. Check out their basement speakeasy, the Flora Room for a cocktail.
Red Cow North Loop
Craving a burger? Red Cow nails it. Great comfort food, craft beer, and plenty of options for everyone.
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
A must-see spot in the city and home to the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture.
Gai Noi
Just a short walk from the Sculpture Garden, Gai Noi was named one of The New York Times’ top 50 restaurants in the country in 2023 for its delicious Lao food. Heads up: it’s walk-in only!
