48 Hours in Minneapolis: The Perfect Itinerary
"Some mornings you want a $15 açaí bowl or a Bloody Mary topped with a burger first thing in. For the rest of the time though, there’s Al’s Breakfast. This tiny restaurant near the University of Minnesota specializes in the kind of simple breakfast food that was good way before brunch became brunch, like pancakes, waffles, scrambles, and omelets."
"The barstools at Al’s, near the University of Minnesota campus, are always in high demand. Famous for enormous blueberry pancakes, Al’s serves all the breakfast favorites, with service that is thankfully never too effusive. 14th St. SE, Minneapolis, 612-331-9991 | alsbreakfastmpls.com"
"This Dinkytown diner is supposedly the narrowest restaurant in Minneapolis, with a width of just 10 feet. It's been serving up big breakfasts in that small space since 1950. It's open from 6 a.m."
"Unlike most other breweries and taprooms, The Freehouse pours other breweries beers alongside their own. That is how confident the team behind the “breakfast to beer” brewpub is in their steady stable of beers. The tap list features four constant beers (the Kolsch, IPA, Brown Ale, and Stout) as well as a rotating selection including a light Blueberry Blonde and a Belgian Golden Strong swimming with spices."
"Freehouse doesn’t just have yummy American cuisine, tasty craft beers, and warm weather dining. It’s also got live music on the patio. Nothing says happiness like listening to live tunes and devouring a plate of Steak Florentine or Beef Stroganoff."
"Lowertown was in dire need of good pizza when Big River opened its doors two years ago. Now Farmer’s Market-inspired slices and truly creative pies on a crust that is a thicker, more robust version of the Neopolitan style (a Minnesota-style, maybe?) make everyone in, around, and beyond the neighborhood happy. (651) 683-2186280 5th St E, St Paul, MN 55101"
"I had heard from my mom that this place was great so we wanted to check it out. First of all the place was beautiful on the inside."
"Kick off ‘cue season at this brand new trailer parked outside Ombibulous. Chef Dylan Boerboom has been a barbecue devotee since he was a kid and now those dreams have reached reality. The Friday special smoked Jucy Lucy is fast gaining a reputation as the best version around of that cheese-stuffed burger."
"Reverie first built up a following as a plant-based food truck, then moved into a permanent spot on Nicollet, before eventually moving into an even cooler spot on 35th street. The new mural-lined space is beautiful, and as far as we’re concerned, the 20 craft beers on tap makes it look even better. Oh, and you’ll still find the same amazing plant-based menu."
"Cafe and food truck with monthly specials like jackfruit bulgogi tacos loaded with cabbage slaw, garlic aioli, pickled red radish, arugula, and cilantro on corn tortillas. Specialty coffees can be made with oat, almond, soy, or house-made cashew macadamia milk options."
"If you’re craving some good ol’ comforting classics head to Reverie Cafe and Bar!. This all vegan restaurant serves up a mouthwatering dishes in an absolutely beautiful space. Vegan biscuits and gravy – check!"
"Founder Bonnie Roell passed away earlier this year after almost 40 years of running Bonnie's Café. But the beloved St. Paul breakfast spot chugs in. Order: the McBonnie (English muffins, eggs, and ham, covered in gravy and cheese)."
"More (relatively) cheap fish tacos can be found at Uptown's Muddy Waters. At $8 for two, they're pricier than some of the others, but they also come fried as lager tempura and served with slaw, red onions, and crema."

"Tasty sandwiches and nutrient-packed salads are standard here at Seed Cafe, a local family-owned vegan joint. Head here to delight your sense and tantalise your taste bud with the array of sweet and savoury vegan dishes they’ve got on the menu. The light-filled restaurant feels so cosy that you’ll certainly stay for seconds."
"A lovely little cafe on the outskirts of Minneapolis, the Seed Cafe is a great place for deliciously healthy vegan eats!. From Buddha bowls and salads to fresh juices and smoothies, you can get in all your vitamins and minerals with one of their fresh plant-based meals. Personally, I’m a big fan of their rice bowls!"
"Although currently closed, the restaurant is offering weekly meal kit subscriptions, as well as an a la carte pantry pre-order program."

"Opened in 1948, Riverview Theater is a single-screen movie theater that displays first-run Hollywood movies along with art films. It offers digital presentation, high-back seats, a lounge area with a television, stadium seating and a snack bar."
"If you just saw a picture of the Riverview Theater, you might not get the big deal. After all, it’s just a movie theater, right?. While that’s technically true, it’s one that has earned a spot in the hearts of Minneapolis residents."
"Scott Fitzgerald, who was born in St. Paul and spent some of his formative years here. National Public Media’s live radio show A Prairie Home Companion is recorded here. Until his recent retirement, Garrison Keiller hosted the show."
