9 Places to Eat & Drink in Downtown Minneapolis
"During the summer months, you’ll often find a line at Milkjam full of people waiting to try their most recent creations. Don’t let it scare you off – it moves quickly and it’s completely worth it!. If the names of their concoctions don’t lure you (“Cereal Killers” – orange coriander milk with candied fruity pebbles, or “Ridin Duuurty” – Oreo milk with Oreo chunks and salted peanut butter), their flavor combinations certainly will."
"He first rose to prominence after appearances on the Food Network’s Iron Chef America, and his collection of delicious restaurants around Minneapolis only cemented that status. So you can imagine how excited we were to learn that he was opening an ice cream shop right next door to his always amazing fast-casual concept, World Street Kitchen. Enter Milkjam Creamery."
"This is what happens when a chef creates an ice cream shop with flavors made from late night munchie dreams. The flavor combinations are crazy delicious, including a coriander and orange ice cream that tastes like Fruity Pebbles, but better. The toppings available take the scoops into another stratosphere of flavor, plus, several options just happen to be vegan."
"A post shared by Betty Danger's Country Club (@bettydangers) on May 10, 2017 at 10:43am PDT. This is one restaurant that provides a very different dining experience to its customers. While the main dining room is fine, select customers can take in magnificent views by enjoying their American and Mexican specialties in the restaurant’s own Ferris wheel."
"Sip craft cocktails on one of the best outdoor patios in Minneapolis—and the most fun. A Ferris wheel that displays some of the best skyline views you can find, mini-golf, and mini donuts. Betty Danger’s is a fun, vibrant, and happening place with bright cocktails and a retro country club vibe that is best enjoyed on their outdoor patio."
"Nothing says local Minnesota like a Juicy Lucy cheeseburger, and nobody has a more unique Juicy Lucy than the Blue Door Pub. Located at the far west side of Selby Avenue, the Blue Door takes a Juicy Lucy and fills it with blue cheese, creating their wildly popular “Blucy.” Somehow, it makes those juicy, delicious takes on burgers even juicier, so its definitely worth checking out."
"This restaurant is an icon of the Dinkytown area specializing in Cantonese cuisine. It’s affordable for college students and the flavors bring Chinese immigrants a taste of home."
"Shuang Cheng Restaurant, a Chinese spot in Marcy Holmes, is another go-to, with four stars out of 305 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1320 Fourth St. SE to see for yourself."
"A post shared by Sushi Train (@sushitrain_mn) on Mar 15, 2020 at 1:44pm PDT. Now here’s a trend I can get behind – a huge selection of sushi floating by on a conveyor belt, ready to be plucked off and eaten depending on how mouthwatering it looks. Conveyor belt sushi is super popular in Japan, but as far as I know, Sushi Train is the only place in Minneapolis or St. Paul who’s caught on."
"Loring Park's Sushi Train, located at 1200 Nicollet Mall, Suite C3, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the spot to score conveyor belt sushi and more four stars out of 187 reviews."
"Located on Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, Sushi Train is a restaurant & bar that offers Sushi, Sashimi, Udon Ramen, and Poke Bowls."
"NE in Northeast, the award-winning project of chef John Sugimura and Xiaoteng Huang boasts 4.5 stars out of 174 reviews on Yelp. From the fast-casual spot’s sushi menu, Yelpers recommend the spicy tuna fat roll for its flavors and size. While you’re there, check out its other favorite dishes too, like the crispy shrimp over rice."
"John Sugimura has an extraordinary knack for knowing what Minnesotans want out of sushi. And by that, we are not talking about mayonnaise-y monster rolls (though those do have their place and time). Instead, he knows we love our tuna, we love our salmon and shrimp, and we love texture and relative familiarity."
"A post shared by PinKU Japanese Street Food (@pinkujapanese) on Feb 20, 2020 at 4:42pm PST. Okay, PinKU in Northeast Minneapolis might not be a traditional sushi place per say, but this spot is so delicious we had to include it. And hey, sushi is on the menu!"
"Live music venue and restaurant in Minneapolis, MN providing you an entertaining and fun time with local musicians, and southern style American comfort food."
"Massage Envy provides massage, skin care and total body stretch services which are an integral part of total body wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Keep your body working with Massage Envy. Schedule an appointment today!"
"Retreat to Minnesota's best Day Spa, a hidden gem nestled away in the heart of Uptown, Minneapolis. In a world where we over-extend and strain ourselves, we invite you to our refuge of ease and calm where you can escape the stress caused by modern, daily living."
"Anyone interested in war history should check out Historic Fort Snelling. Completed in 1819, this St. Paul, Minnesota fort was training ground for the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, as well as the Indian Campaigns. Historic Fort Snelling has definitely helped shaped America’s story."
"A state park located at the intersection of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, Fort Snelling links Minnehaha Park and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge through extensive hiking, biking and skiing trails."
"Fort Snelling is the state's oldest structure, established in 1820 as a frontier outpost in the remote Northwest Territory. Guides in period dress show restored buildings and reenact pioneer life."
"Before I started researching locations for photoshoots I had never considered “The Old Loading Docks”!. How could I miss it!?!. It’s an awesome location for entrepreneurs or small business owners that want a modern feel to their branding portraits."
"This is one of the USA's largest campuses, with some 50,000 students. Most of the campus is in the East Bank neighborhood. Washington Ave SE and Oak St SE is the bulls eye, thronged by coffee shops, fast-food..."
