Things To Do
Chain of Lakes
Highly recommend taking a walk around the Chain of Lakes! In order of preference: 1. Lake of the Isles (2.6 mile loop) is where you can see the world famous pencil sculpture and houses we can't afford! 2. Lake Harriett (3 mile loop) is where we've spent many running dates and is nearby one of our favorite neighborhoods, Linden Hills. 3. Bde Maka Ska (3.2 mile loop) is the lake connecting the two, and usually where we start/finish our runs so is associated with being tired and wondering where we parked Breakfast/Lunch options (in Linden Hills): Jones Coffee, Picnic, Le Burger, Rosalia, Martina
Wayzata
One of our favorite places to walk around, shop and grab something to eat. Our favorite bike trail (Dakota Rail Trail) is a great place to bike, run, or walk! This is right next to Hotel Landing for those who will be staying there. Breakfast/Lunch options: Grocer's Table, CoV, Benedict's
Galleria
Upscale shopping center near the Westin and the Homewood Suites. Breakfast/Lunch options: Hope Breakfast Bar, People's Organic, CoV
50th & France
A great outdoor shopping district 10 minutes from the Galleria. Breakfast/Lunch options: Mr. Paul's Supper Club, Red Cow, Dexter's, Coalition, Crisp & Green
Stone Arch Bridge
We've probably walked or biked this no less than a thousand times. A staple if you're visiting Minneapolis, and especially if you're staying downtown! Recommend walking or running the loop around the Mississippi River Breakfast/Lunch options: Cabana Club, Silver Fern Bakery, Aster Cafe, Fairgrounds
