What to Eat in Minneapolis - St. Paul
Minneapolis-St. Paul is a Midwestern mecca for foodies. No matter what you're craving, you can find it south of the downtown area on Nicollet Avenue, fondly known as "Eat Street." Travelers who are looking to spend the day exploring downtown should have no trouble finding a great midday meal nearby, though choices can be limited to steakhouses and burger joints.
For those with a more eclectic palate, head to the University areas in Nordeast and Dinkytown, where all types of international cuisines are represented. Popular Minneapolis spots include Butcher & The Boar and The Bachelor Farmer (and its hidden speakeasy, Marvel Bar), among many others. Some St. Paul favorites include Cossetta, Heartland and Meritage.
If you're looking for a place to grab a pre- or post-dinner cocktail, head over to the Cathedral Hill area near St. Paul, where many young professionals gather for happy hour. Whether you prefer an elegant spot to nurse a glass of wine or a rowdy sports bar, you'll find it in this neighborhood.
Also an emerging beer destination, the Twin Cities feature several breweries stationed around the metro area. If you're in Minneapolis, stop by Surly Brewing Co. (which also serves a full menu of food), Fulton Brewery or 612 Brew. If you're in St. Paul, Summit Brewing Company is your best bet.
