MemberMy husband and I are heading up to the Twin Cities for a friend’s wedding reception next month. We’re in need of help with finding a great hotel that won’t cost an arm and a leg, but isn’t far away from everything either. Plus, we’re looking for suggestions on things to do, stuff to see, and where to eat/drink (we’re vegan, but can often make non-vegan places work).
Thanks In Advance, Bees! 🙂
MemberTry booking through Hotwire, I find that they have the best deals.
MemberThere are some yummy Thai places around that always offer vegetarian choices. Supatra’s in St Paul, Spice Thai in Burnsville is killer, and Sawatdee has a couple locations. Those are ones I’ve been to. I also just looked on Yelp and there are a ton of restaurants listed under vegetarian/vegan.
MemberOtherwise, we’re still gathering ideas for things to do, etc. 🙂
MemberWe’ve got a hotel in the St. Louis Park area, so the closest of the Twin Cities would be Minneapolis, but we’re planning on hitting up there and St. Paul as well. It all just depends on what there is to do and stuff.
Thanks for the help! 🙂
MemberIs the wedding in Minneapolis? Hit upt downtown… so much fun to walk. Nicollet Mall shopping!!
I am not a good one to ask about vegan places, but just search Vegan and Minneapolis… and you’ll find a TON of places to eat. I love going to new places each time I visit. I’ll be there next month for the Twins Home Opener.
MemberI have seen the Nicollet Mall pop up on a few travel sites and even though niether of us are big into shopping, we may still check it out for people watching and stuff. 🙂
MemberI live in Minneapolis. Unless you actually want to shop, Nicolett Mall isn’t all that exciting from a people-watching perspective. There are a ton of great restaurants — I’d recommend Spoon & Stable in particular, but you have to make a reservation long in advance (not sure about Vegan options there but the food is really good). If the weather is nice while you’re in town, I love the St. Anthony Main/Riverfront area (Stone Arch Bridge, Aster Cafe, etc.) Twins game at Target Field is always fun if you like baseball and if they’re playing then.

MemberIf you’re heading to St. Paul, Grand Avenue is fun – a lot of cool little shops and places to eat. Downtown St. Paul isn’t too far away from Grand and has museums (History Center, Science Museum) as well as some landmarks like the Capital building and Cathedral of Saint Paul. Uptown in Minneapolis will also have a huge variety of shops and restaurants.

MemberEmilys Lebanese Delicatessen has the best tabouleh if you like that. It was my favorite growing up and I still crave/miss it. Minnehaha Park was another my favorites – a little bit of nature in the city (plus a waterfall).
If your interested in landmarks, etc. The Minnesota Museum of Art, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, American Swedish Institute are all worth a visit. Hennepin Ave and Nicolett with have a large variety of restaurants.
MemberAnd yeah, we were thinking about heading to Minnehaha Park for the waterfall and some relaxing time in nature, too. Thanks for mentioning the Sculpture Garden as well!
