Next up, Into The Void records, a specialty metal record shop in St Paul, originally from Dublin. You can get CDs, Vinyl, Cassettes (yeah, they still have them), DVDs, show and event tickets along with some apparel and merchandise. You’ve seen me post about concerts like Motorhead, Megadeth, Septic Flesh, Behemoth, Inquisition, Slayer Flesh God […]
If you are you big fan of sweets (like me) and you’re looking for something festive to do today, I completely and totally recommend coming to the Union Depot Holiday Bake Sale in St Paul. This is the second year they’ve done it and it is incredible, they really have gotten better every year! Coffee, […]
Next up on the bucket list is A Christmas Story, the Musical at the Ordway in St Paul. Its had a pretty incredible run here in the Twin Cities, mostly because it’s such a classic! The show has had rave reviews and doesn’t disappoint! Complete with the Ralphie’s Red Ryder Bee Bee Gun, the Northern […]
The second part of tonight’s festivities at the Union Depot… The Christmas tree lighting, fireworks, hot apple cider and being serenaded by Kat Perkins! You might know her from The Voice but she’s a Minnesota native favorite around here (and looked adorable!) It’s hard not to fall completely in love with the Depot as they’ve […]
If you haven’t been to the Rock Bottom Brewery, you need to. It’s so much fun! You can’t go wrong with great service, prime locations, huge selections and the best veggie burger around. Seriously, just look at the description: “House-made veggie patty with a lightly grilled outer crust. Topped with even more veggies, cause we […]
Just in case you were wondering what the Halloween Lights off York in St Paul look like. Stop by tomorrow, on from dusk til 10pm. Bring something for the food shelf OR be like me and forget and just give cash. It’s always better when it’s for a good cause!
If you are going to (or still trying to decide) to the Minnesota State Fair this year, stop over at O’Gara’s. O’garas Bar and Grill is a Twin Cities staple. It opened in 1941 and it’s currently on third #generation ownership. It has two locations, one off Snelling in St Paul and the other is […]
If you live in Minnesota, and you haven’t heard of Wuollet Bakery, then… you’re just like me. Seriously. I had no idea this existed and now that I do, oh, dangerous. Woullet is packed full of cupcakes, cakes, pies, donuts, pastries, muffins, coffee cake, crumb cake and breads. They also have a full coffee and […]
The absolute best chickpea burger I have ever, ever had is from the Red Cow in Minneapolis. It’s a short walk from all the shops on 50th and France Ave. I initially heard about Red Cow from a recommendation by a Evereve when I stopped by one afternoon. The place is #rustic and industrial but really […]
James J Hill was the railroad tycoon of the Great Northern Railway and a huge part of Minnesota’s history. He built an empire, became a major contributor to higher education (ie. seminaries, colleges and universities) and he was even mentioned in the Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald! So, of course his home would be […]
Cupcake lover, check. Macaroon fan, check. Tried all the sweet shops within driving distance, workin on it. Which brings me to Cupcake. They have four locations, off University Ave in Minneapolis, MOA, Snelling in StPaul and Cliff Road in Eagan. Some locations have a café menu but the Mall of America is the smallest with […]
If you are looking for an excuse to get out of the house, I have the perfect thing. If you are a collectorcar and auto enthusiast, that is. Come down to the Minnesota State Fair grounds for the Back To The 50s! I’m a huge fan of the powder blue Hudson Hornet.
Next on the #mnbucketlist is the best cookbook library ever, off Grand Ave in St Paul near Summit; Cooks of Crocus Hill. Ok, so there is more to it than a glorious vegan / vegetarian cookbook section, they have gourmet cookware and tools, too! They offer cooking classes and a super helpful staff. If you’ve […]
If you love sweet, savory and fast, then Cafe Latte is a perfect place for your bucketlist! Its a bakery, cafeteria, pizza and wine bar with countless vegan and vegetarian options. Oh! And they have amazing cheesecake, too! If you are already in the area, try bread and chocolate, as they are part of the […]
Right off of Grand Ave in St Paul, you will find the Golden Fig. A fun little gourmet food boutique. They have some of the best concoctions I have ever had like lemon lavender sugar or vanilla rose sugar and basil balsamic. They also have really good rustic bread (personal favorite). If you are in […]
One of my top five favorites on the #mnbucketlist is Penzeys. Penzeys Spices is a herb and seasoning shop off Grand Ave in St Paul near Summit. Their helpful, friendly staff can get you just about anything youve ever heard of and you can get all sorts of hard to find things like lavender and […]
Next up; Cossettas Italian Market. Cossetta in St Paul is a mini city; it includes a pizzeria, an italian market, pastries and bread. With it being near the Xcel Energy Center and the Science Museum of Minnesota, parking is a little tough. It recently went through huge renovations and totally worth checking out.
An MSP Airport favorite on the #mnbucketlist today… TwinBurger is a fun and creative eatery that is really easily accessible. It sits in the airport and is a great way to relax before a long flight. If you haven’t already guessed, I’m a huge nerd. When I walked by, I immediately said, “That tile work […]
If you are looking to get out during this gloomy week, try somewhere that even more beautiful on the inside, like the Landmark Center in St Paul next to Rice Park. It is home of the Schubert Club Museum and used to be the Federal Court House and Post Office. It now hosts special events, […]
If you are an avid traveller and looking to stay healthy, MSP Airport is one of the best airports to be at. It’s a #mnbucketlist must-go. Grab a salad and pick up a magazine and you’re good to go!
