Photos by By Rebecca Studios Since today is Leap Day, and it only comes once every four years, I thought I would talk about a #mnbucketlist place that is equally as exceptional. Honey is so much more than a term of endearment here in Minnesota. It’s a staple and a necessity. We need bees and […]
Last time I went to Taylor’s Falls and Franconia Sculpture Park, I stopped in and added The Northern Tavern and Grill to the #mnbucketlist. Right on the highway in Chisago City, right between Lake Martha and Little Green Lake sits this uber-popular sports bar that boasts one of the best sunset views on the eastern […]
Since it was just National Margarita Day, I thought I would give you a place to go that makes a pretty good one. Oh! Fun fact: this #mnbucketlist stop is also a favorite hangout for my Dad. Acapulco Restaurante Mexicano, although sounds like a chain, isn’t. Owned by the Leon family, Jesus and Maria Leon […]
Whether you’re a non-local wanting to spend a weekend wandering the city or one of the countless downtown clientele that need a place to frequent during the weekdays, Hen House Eatery is worth trying and since it’s next on the #mnbucketlist, I’m going to explain. I could tell you that it is because they specialize […]
Heading over to Waconia for today’s #mnbucketlist stop. With no website, Facebook or any other connection to the digital world, Egg-Cetera is as close to small-town friendly meets no-frills as it gets. More hidden than you would expect, they aren’t meant to impress. Local faces, homemade but inexpensive menu, simple is the expectation. Egg-Cetera is […]
Since we are on the outs with winter and coming up on spring, I thought I would take you back to the need to hibernate and keep warm. Imagine, if you will, the perfect ski lodge cabin (if you like my kind of cabins) – that’s Porter Creek Hardwood Grill, the next stop on the […]
Since this week started off full of saccharin, sucralose and all other kinds of sweetness, I thought that I would continue it with the next #mnbucketlist-er. Fannie Rose Candy Shop is off East Superior Street in downtown Duluth. Built in 1907, the top floors of the historic building were part of the Grant Hotel, complete […]
If you’ve never heard of Harmony, Minnesota, I’m not at all surprised. It sits flush with the Minnesota/Iowa State Line in the southeast corner. I was there a few months back with my favorite traveling bucket listing buddy, Alyse. Our plan was to go to the Niagara Cave and, because it’s located just a few […]
Ever go past a place and think; I could never go there, it’s too busy! There would be no room! I’m not dressed up enough! Well, to tell you the truth, Spoon and Stable was that place for me. For longer than I care to tell. Until a few weeks ago, that is. I happened […]
I have been doing this list for about a year and a half now although I only opened it to the public a year ago. In that time, I am often asked about my favorite things, places I’ve been, where would I recommend and if I could pick, where would I go again. I don’t […]
This past Wednesday was Minnstameet’s Instameet, #Minnstameets_SPWinterCarnival2016. Although the St Paul Winter Carnival is held in Rice Park, we were able to hang out in the very beautiful Landmark Center. We received a private warm-up and reception room, an exclusive meet and greet with the Royal Family (read about the Legend some time, it’s cute), […]
Photos by By Rebecca Studios I get asked often about coming out to bucket listing with me – whether it be new places, old favorites, hidden gems, or adventure trips. Because I can’t do this alone, and often it’s with the help of my best friends, last week we decided totry something different…we made our […]
Photos by By Rebecca Studios A few weeks back, my best friends and I got together, as we do every month for bucket list dinners and crossed off Lucky’s 13 Pub from the #mnbucketlist. With locations in Bloomington, Mendota, Fargo, Plymouth and Burnsville, it’s easy to find one that is near you. With a spacious, […]
Up next is Northeast Social in the arts district of Northeast Minneapolis (so not just a clever name). On the same block as The Sheridan Room, the Ritz Theater and Tiger Rose Tattoo and Piercing, Northeast Social is a relaxed, contemporary-meets-curious eatery that features American cuisine with a farm to table concept. Famous locally for […]
