Kate’s Favorite Reasons to Visit
The diverse art community. In conjunction with its rich cultural heritage, Minneapolis has a strong and thriving performing arts community. Theatergoers can enjoy the brilliant Guthrie Theater, a whimsical Children’s Theater Company, or they can make their way to the Theater District where the charming, renovated historic theaters Orpheum, State, and Pantages Theatre – true cultural gems – call home. Whether a local performance is what you’re looking for or an up-and-coming Broadway production is in the plan, let Minneapolis entertain you. While it honors the art of theater by offering a diverse variety, our great city also pays homage to its “Mill City” moniker by boasting 55 museums across the Minneapolis Metropolitan area. From the majestic outdoor sculpture garden at The Walker Art Center to a tour of modern and contemporary artworks at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, here there’s a museum to suit every taste. Embark on a journey, where stages come to life and art ignites creativity within Minneapolis’s vibrant cultural scene.
All things food. Everyone loves a good meal, and many like to talk about it. Food writer Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher once famously said, “First, we eat. Then we do everything else.” Minneapolis loves to feed its people, but it also loves the connections a delicious meal fosters. Food lovers here can look forward to everything from an explosion of color and taste to unique energy and stunning atmospheres. Billy’s Sushi in the North Loop serves more than sushi, they serve elevated eating and an unforgettable experience; or stop by James Beard Award winner, Pizza Lola, a casual, family-friendly eatery that is a neighborhood favorite. Maybe you’re craving the famous Lobster Roll at Smack Shack, a hip and vibrant destination on Washington Avenue; or an elegant evening at Demi, a pinnacle of Minneapolis fine dining, is on the menu. In an article prepping visitors of the Twin Cities for the 2019 Super Bowl, Esquire called Minneapolis ‘America’s most intriguing food and drink city that no one’s talking about.’ Make no mistake, once you start eating in Minneapolis, you’ll be talking.
