The distillery that Sim co-founded in 2011. In the cocktail room, you can enjoy delicious cocktails, using their made-from-scratch certified organic spirits.
Our favorite place to get coffee in town. They’re locally owned and operated, and they roast their own coffee beans.
Great, locally owned and operated restaurant with a long history! They make excellent brunch, and have a lovely ambience.
Our favorite independent bookstore, which is locally owned and operated. If you like bookstores, don’t skip this one!
Locally owned and operated brewery just around the corner from our house. Great patio where you can get snacks from whatever food truck they’re hosting. They often have live music as well!
Brewery across the street from the Marriott hotel, also locally owned and operated. They serve an excellent full menu as well, especially if you enjoy burgers!
Carleton’s beautiful arboretum adjacent to their campus. A lovely spot to enjoy a shady hike in the woods, or a sunny one in the prairie!
Super awesome restaurant where Sim worked for several years, owned by our great friends Fernando and Kalinka. They specialize in French-Brazilian inspired cuisine. It’s up in the cities, near Lake Harriet, so it’s a great pick if you feel like exploring south Minneapolis!
Lizzie and Sim’s date spot in St Paul. An intimate environment to enjoy delicious new Italian cuisine, with excellent service and Prosecco on tap!
One of our favorite places to go to enjoy a huge variety of tropical plants and bonsai trees. And it’s free (but small cash donations appreciated.)
