Another edition of my Favorite Spots here. This time, we are talking Minneapolis, MN. The other twin of the Twin Cities! Just like its twin, Minneapolis has so many amazing spots that it is hard to narrow down my favorites. BUT, I think I did a good job, and rounded up some of the best places in this city. Again, the Twin Cities are a very foodie, active, artsy pair of cities, and my favorite places definitely fall under those categories. So I have switched things up, and organized my Minneapolis faves just like that! I have several favorites in Minneapolis, but I have never lived on that side of the river, so I know my favorites barely scratch the surface on what this Twin City has to offer!
Favorite Eat + Drink
Betty Danger's Country Club- I think I have professed my love for BD a few times already on PWP. It is seriously my most favorite place ever! You must go to ride the Ferris wheel, and play mini golf!
Longfellow Grill- A great spot by the river, closer to St. Paul! One of my faves for an easy, and delicious dinner. They have a great patio.
Hola Arepa- Everything here is gluten free!! I like the empanadas, corn balls, and their specialty cocktails!
Coffee
Penny's- I have only been here once, but OMG so cute, and such great coffee!
Spyhouse- I feel like this is a good standby place located all throughout the twin cities. I love grabbing coffee here!
Isles Bun and Coffee- I have only had coffee here, and it is amazing! BUT, they are known for their giant cinnamon rolls. They keep a tub of cream cheese frosting on the counter so you can smother you roll in as much as you desire!
Drinks!
Tattersall- This place is still my favorite distillery ever. They have a craft cocktail menu that will knock your socks off! I will drink anything with their infamous gin! They also have something called The Bradshaw which is their version of a cosmo named after the gal who put it on the map. Also, the history of the building it is in, is an incredible story!
Norseman- Another great distillery. It is in an industrial/warehouse area, and has a cute minimalistic vibe. They also have their own food menu, which is always a plus!
Sociable Cider- There are a TON of breweries in Minneapolis that are very popular, but as a girl with celiac, beer is a no go. So, I am so happy there is a cidery in Minneapolis! They have the best flavors because they get so creative, like a gin and tonic style cider!
Sights
Foshay Tower- This is a gorgeous historic skyscraper in downtown Minneapolis. Its now a hotel, but they have a little museum and observation deck on the top floors! The views are insane!!
Stone Arch Bridge- I suggest that you start from the St. Anthony and Main neighborhood because you will get the best views of the skyline that way!
Sculpture Garden- Home to the famous cherry and spoon sculpture.
A Historic Theater- Did you know Minnesota has the is second to NYC in theater seats per capita?? So do yourself a favor and checkout one of the many gorgeous historic theaters, like the Orpheum!
Target Field- I love a good baseball game. This stadium is home to the MN Twins!! I will forever be a fan.
Sweets
Sift- This is a COMPLETELY gluten free bakery. Do I need to say more?
Milk Jam- Such yummy ice cream with fun flavors, and the line is always out the door (even in the dead of a MN winter!!).
MNice Cream- This place was a new discovery last summer. They have soft serve ice cream, and always have a vegan flavor options. They also have the most insane cones with all the toppings (here's their gram). My favorite thing is the gluten free waffle cones!! AND edible glitter!!!

**P.S.**
Minneapolis is called the City of Lakes, so seeing one of the many lakes in the city is a must!
As always,
