The historic 80 year old "Lex" is back, now re-opened after a long renovation period. The dark wood paneling, stained glass windows and decor take you back in time. This St. Paul restaurant is well-loved by many generations. We've had great service and a warm welcome from attentive staff. Once the weather warms up, we look forward to checking out the new rooftop patio.

Classic, romantic, a must visit. Located in Cathedral Hill, it's a great special occasion spot. Wonderful weekend brunch. Also offers weekday happy hour specials. Dining on the beautiful patio is a sought after experience for a reason. Cozy in the wintertime with fireplaces nearby as you dine.

Just a hop across the river if you are craving tasty specialty waffles! Only caveat-waffles are super heavy on whipped cream, but you probably could ask them to go light. Or perhaps that is just what you wanted:)

We first wandered in opening month, and we were wowed. It's a hot spot these days to get into, for good reason. Cauliflower was so good! Devoured the Pepe Pizza with fresh clams, Umami Mama pizza with delicious mushrooms. Friends rave about the Korean BBQ pizza. Also follow the red glowing light to check out the speakeasy below.

Hidden beneath Borough, the place has a very cool vibe and well liked craft cocktails. Fun ladies night, bigger group or romantic spot. Hoping our absentee service was the exception; overall would recommend. We came for drinks and snacks but I hear the the Parlour burger is the thing to order if you have an appetite and like burgers. Enjoyed small snacks including bacon popcorn and a bag of mini donuts (so good).

Entertainment & Activities

Great historic theater known for its amazing popcorn. Shows second runs of films. Experience a movie theater as it was in the 1950's, but with updated technology. Digital sound and rocker seats inside an auditorium. A short walk away. Great to catch a glass of wine at Riverview Wine Bar across the street.

This stadium is very new and a must see up close. If you get inside it is very cool with all the glass and natural light inside. Fun atmosphere for sports, and other events. Quick and scenic ~10 minute drive on West River Parkway into downtown gets you right to the stadium.

This well known and often visited local micro-brewery near the U of M is only a short drive or bike ride away from our place. Surly gets much credit for starting the MN craft beer boom due to it's taproom license bill (Surly Bill 2011). It offers a large beer hall and has popular brewery tours. Outdoor seating (when open) is abundant for relaxing and playing yard games.

Sightseeing

This is where Minneapolis really became a big city with its milling history. The bridge is beautiful with its many arches, and Saint Anthony Falls is right next to it. Watch the waterfall and look at the dominant skyline. Guthrie theater is very close, go inside and ask for the endless bridge. This is a great view of the Stone Arch Bridge, and historic Main street on the other side of river. Go there next for a great drink at Aster Cafe and catch some live music.
