Hands down, the best place to get a cinnamon roll before a stroll around the lakes.
Great walking paths around both lakes which are next to each other. You can also rent some fun toys to take out on the water (SUP, kayaks, etc).
A great brewery with food located right off of the Mississippi.
For the out-of-towners who have never been, you kinda gotta go at least once in your life! Even if you're not a shopper, then you should definitely go to ride the rides and grab some good food.
One of our favorite breweries!
Waterfall in the city with some nice trails to stroll around.
A Minnesota classic with bar food, free popcorn, and pull tabs. Can we say more?
Laid back taqueria. Good prices, great food.
Brewery with a great, expansive patio.
If you've seen Chef's Table: Pizza on Netflix, then you are familiar with Ann Kim who opened this pizza restaurant in NE Mpls. Delicious, but must be okay with bar seating or making a reservation to get a table.
If you want to take a drive out of the city towards Stillwater, then stopping at 7 Vines is a great place to go for some wine.
