"A post shared by Cafe & Bar Lurcat Minneapolis (@cafebarlurcatmpls) on Jul 11, 2018 at 12:43pm PDT. This place is known to serve some of the best American cuisines in the city. Seafood is their specialty with the kitchen churning out plate after plate of these goodies and more."

"For over 15 years we have been serving incredible food with breathtaking views of Loring Park. We would be ecstatic to receive your vote for Best Institution in Mpls.St.Paul Magazine Best Restaurants Readers' Poll. Vote at the link in our bio."

"A gorgeous, sprawling patio on the edge of Loring Park is even prettier as warm afternoons melt into dusk and the lights shine above it. Lurcat is open Wednesday through Sunday."

"Attention, beignet fans: Grand Catch makes a delicious version of the warm and fluffy New Orleans-style square doughnuts. And that’s not all to look forward to. This Cajun spot near Macalester College spins such flavor-enhancing dishes as its rendition of chicken and waffles, but instead of waffles, you get sweet corn pancakes, a fried egg, brown butter coconut syrup and jalapeno butter."

"Grand Catch made a splash in the local seafood scene when local celebrity chef Sameh Wadi announced plans to open a new Asian-Cajun seafood joint. Located on the west side of Grand Avenue near Maclester College, the funky seafood shop was an immediate hit thanks to their legendary seafood boils, fantastic fish (and even chicken!) sandwiches, and fun cocktail menu."

"A throwback to another era, Monte Carlo hasn’t changed a thing in years to create a 50’s style dining room with ice cold martinis. In the warm months there is an expansive patio, but the can’t miss dish here are the wings. Massive and coated with a carefully guarded secret spice rub."

"Established in 1906, this is one of the most renowned bars and eatery’s in Minneapolis. Anyone looking for a swanky night out should start it at The Monte Carlo. The copper-topped bar adds an extra level of “class” to your drink as it slides its way across the slick countertop."

"Right by all the other great views of downtown Minneapolis is this new gem, and its got this one little jetty that is just perfect for photos with your sweetie. It does involve a little rugged trek, so its not ideal for icy weather or high heeled shoes!"

"Walk down from Main St SE to this park jutting into the Mississippi River and feel its frothy spray. Quiet benches, skyline views and the chance to see hydroelectric power in action are also part of the package."

"Minneapolis' Brownie Lake is the northernmost lake in the city's Chain of Lakes - a collection of lakes that includes Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet. The park itself sits on the western shores of the Cedar Lake Parkway and is a remote enough location that offers tranquility and escape, while still being within the city limits. Brownie Lake Park is a hidden jewel for the outdoor enthusiasts in the area, with plenty of space and trails dedicated to bikers and hikers."

"Over in Phillips West, check out American Swedish Institute, which has earned four stars out of 55 reviews on Yelp. You can find the museum and cultural center at 2600 Park Ave. Housed in a turn-of-the-century mansion that once belonged to a Swedish-American newspaper publisher, the museum has long focused on offering Swedish cultural, educational and artistic events to the local community."

"Explore Minnesota’s Scandinavian roots by visiting this giant mansion built in the 1900′ by a Swedish immigrant. The institute is housed in a beautiful castle-like structure inspired by the Romanticism movement. Therefore this was the popular current of the day which inspired architecture as well as arts and culture."

"The Minneapolis Institute of Art is a must see attraction for those of all ages. You can find exhibits and artifacts spanning all continents and all ages, with some items dating back 40,000 years. There are prints and drawings, photography and new media, paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, textiles, and contemporary art as well as specific collections to explore focusing on Asian art, African art, and American art."

"The Minneapolis Institute of Art is an internationally recognized institution. From Greek sculpture to Warhol, silver vessels to van Gogh, we've got it all."

"The Minneapolis Institute of Art is a large museum representing more than 5,000 years of history through breathtaking works of art."
