Top things to do in Minneapolis
"The Twin Cities parks systems rank top in the nation, so Harriet Island is just one of many free parks to check out (we also recommend Indian Mounds Park, Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary and Crosby Farm Park). Have a picnic, hike the Mississippi River, photograph Raspberry Island or see if there’s an event going on. Great views of the downtown skyline are an added bonus."

Everything is prepared halal and made fresh to order."

"The kids probably won’t let you meditate, but what else is new?. You still might find some balance among the tranquil paths, pond, bridges and waterfall. The best times to visit the park with kids are in the spring for the cherry blossoms or in the fall for the annual Japanese Garden Festival."
"Any round up of free things to do in Bloomington MN should include Normandale Community College’s Japanese Garden. The garden is a two-acre oasis. It has bridges, streams and waterfalls."

This rose garden is the second oldest public rose garden in the United States and it sits on 1.5 acres (0.6 hectares) near the North-east corner of Lake Harriet.

"Sitting tidily on Central Ave., this neon-topped diner has boasted 14 stools, one counter, and no bathroom since 1949. It’s the perfect spot to escape and enjoy a solo meal that you’d rather not have to explain to or share with anyone. Battered and craggy chicken-fried steak with two runny eggs and hash browns is that meal."
"There are just 14 stools inside this tiny breakfast and lunch spot on Northeast’s Central Avenue. Built in 1949, the blinking bulbs on the distinctive red, yellow, and turquoise sign rightly suggest eating here. Come for the massive pancake for just $1.50, or the Friday-night fish fry—the only night the Ideal serves dinner."

"Ngon Vietnamese Bistro’s wine selections focus on bottles from sustainable, organic farms, and the handcrafted cocktails shouldn’t be ignored either. The happy hour prices (afternoon and late-night) really seal the deal."

On my most recent visit here, items for sale included bulk petri dishes, baby doll heads, about a trillion vials, flasks, and containers of all shapes and sizes, and the most spare tires I’ve ever seen in my life. And that was just the first aisle…"
