You can drive by, park on the other side of the street- there are typically a lot of people walking and looking so give them space. But if you need to get close that's an option Variety of colors! Drive around the neighborhood- the houses are nice and there are a lot of flowers!

We stopped by yesterday in hopes of checking out the Somali museum downstairs; however it was…read moreclosed for the 4th of July. So we walked around the food court area, most of the stalls were closed. I appreciated the variety of eateries available. We spent time browsing the mini grocery area, where they sell various interesting items such as honey comb and Turkish delight. My friend bought dried chamomile flowers in bulk to make tea. It was only a quarter the price of buying chamomile tea bags! In the building were some interesting art sculptures. I really like mixed use spaces like this.

I love Midtown Global Market with all of my heart. I went…read morelast Friday for the first time in a while and have already been back 2 times already since then (it's now Monday). Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

If you ever find yourself face to beak with a rafter** of turkeys along a Johnson Street sidewalk,…read morejust stand the eff down. Quickly move to the other side of the street. Don't be a hero---you're on Northeast Turkey turf. These little guys (actually big, they are pretty imposing...) roam around the streets of Northeast like they own the place. There are occasional wild turkey sightings in other areas of the city, but I've yet to see them band together in such volume and consistency like these big bad birds. Where did they come from, you ask? Well, we have amateur '70s wildlife "restorationists" (i.e. people that raised turkeys illegally and then let them go free) for these urban turkeys who think they are people. **Yep, I looked that up. A group of turkeys is called a rafter. The more you know...

The Prince Tribute Mural isnt hard to find, I put the address into GPS and found with no issues…read more Its located in a weird location, backside of Sencha Tea, use this address to find. Located at the corner of 26th Street and Hennepin Avenue. I parked on the side of the street for a few minutes. The artist did an amazing job of Prince, it very detailed. I agree that it was a bit appalling to see a trash can in front of the mural. It wasn't a good look at all. But, yes its worth the stop to see this beautiful mural. I cropped the dumpster out of my picture, there is no way I could post that dumpster. The artist is a local and deserves all the glory!

Absolutely love the mural, but there are trash cans in front of it!! Otherwise, beautiful mural.read more

I thought Minne was a mouse, but what do I know. Apparently it's a lakemonster. Oooooh…read more What could be better than a Loch Ness type sea monster right here in Minneapolis, in the FREAKING LAKES? And it's really adorable as well. Of course it's fake - or at least I think it's fake. I'm not going to come out and say it's fake when I can't be sure that it's fake. It may be fake but let's not assume that it's fake because one day you could be swimming in the lake and this so called fake monster could fake eat you and you'd be fake dead or fake in hospital for a long time and HOW FAKE WOULD IT BE THEN. Yet another case where Fake is the best possible outcome.

Minneapolis is a great example of smart urban design. The Skyway System is one aspect of this…read more Considering their winters in that area, it make so much sense to have this interconnected skybridge system that allows for people to traverse that 80 block area in a climate controlled environment all year round. It was so easy to walk to places via the Skyway.

The skyway system in Minneapolis is so very cool. With over 10 miles of connecting walkways, you…read moreare able to traverse all of downtown without ever stepping outside. It's a shame they close it on weekends. You can go from an office to a hotel, a restaurant to a convenience store, a sewing studio to a massage pop-up... I even saw connection to a church. It is very helpful to have a map. There are signs directing you where to go, but it can be kind of confusing if you don't know the streets/building names well. People are friendly and happy to provide directions. Whether you feel like a rat lost in a maze, or a productive ant part of a communal tunnel system, you have to admit this is a very unique method of transportation. Many other cities could benefit, but I can only imagine the cost and time it took to plan and build this. I did notice a number of vacant spaces inside the Skyway system, and I noticed that the streets of the city seem really quiet because so much activity is happening on the second floor. I hope that the city can invest in bringing small businesses to the skyway and keeping it open for locals and tourists alike.

It provides some great views of the old time milling operations in the area, as well as St Anthony Falls. It consists of 23 stone arches spanning 2,100 feet, and is the only stone arched bridge still on the Mississippi. It is on the National Register of Historic Places (1971) and is considered a National Historic Engineering Landmark. The entry from downtown would be via Mills Ruins Park. On my visit during mid March, there was still a lot of snow on the ground from a large snowfall a couple days before, and there was a path cleared, though to get better views on the river, some waterproof boots would have been handy.

The service was outstanding--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. The food was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can tell they take pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen. Whether it's the house-made pasta, fresh seafood, or one of their incredible desserts, everything is packed with flavor. Their wine and cocktail selection is also excellent and pairs perfectly with the menu. If you're looking for an elegant Italian restaurant with consistently great food, impeccable service, and a lively downtown atmosphere, I can't recommend Zelo enough. It's easy to see why it's been a Minneapolis favorite for so many years. Zelo is absolutely worth a visit.
