Birchbark Books & Native Arts

Having lived in the area for over a dozen years and working in the heart of the city, I'm happy to share my list of best places in Minneapolis: hotels, restaurants, museums, things to do, and local shopping, too! Minnesota enjoys four distinct seasons, and there's something to enjoy any time of year!

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of the Twin Cities! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Minneapolis and St. Paul for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!
