Bunny’s Bar & Grill NE | Northeast Minneapolis

Bunny's Bar and Grill NE
Standard

While Northeast does have many things, one thing that seems pretty lacking is Sports Bars. Besides Stanley’s, every other location is pretty dive or niche. So the triumphant opening of Bunny’s Bar & Grill NE was actually pretty exciting, not to mention their location in St. Louis Park has such a cult following from many of my suburb friends.

Having opened the week before Superbowl Sunday, they were not only my choice location to explain Football to our visiting British friend, but they were also my choice place to celebrate Adult Easter (seemed fitting) and continue to remain one of my favorite weekend beverage destinations.

Glam Doll Donuts | Northeast Minneapolis

Glam Doll Donuts NE
Standard

Donuts are bae. When I heard that Glam Doll Donuts was opening a second location in Northeast, I was excited to finally be able to try them out. I’ve always heard amazing things about their boutique donuts and knowing it is a female owned business touched me in all the feels.

PinKU Japanese Street Food | Northeast Minneapolis

Standard

PinKU Japanese Street FoodSandwiched between Keegan’s and JL Beers, PinKU Japanese Street Food is a must try.

Having recently moved back to Northeast Minneapolis after 6 months of pretending we could be happy in the suburbs, I was beyond excited to get back to trying new Minneapolis restaurants and the non-chain restaurant life. Being a novice sushi eater, and completely averse to shrimp, thanks to once being told that shrimp were 1 chromosome away from a cockroach (you’re welcome for that, too), I was minorly hesitant when my boyfriend suggested we try PinKU. It proved to be completely unwarranted. Continue reading

Taraccino Coffee | Northeast Minneapolis

Taraccino Coffee
Standard

It’s National Coffee Day, so I figured, what can be more fitting than sharing my Taraccino Coffee adventure, partly because their coffee was so good, partly because I’m a sucker for random national holidays, but mostly, because it had my name in the title 😉 Continue reading

Minnesota State Fair 2015

MN State Fair
Standard

I usually can’t decide what I love more about the Minnesota State Fair; people watching or the food.

With the last weekend of the fair starting today, I wanted to make sure you had my list of fair favorites and new must trys!

*Pro Tip: It’s important to go to the fair with friends and family who are willing to share. The goal is to try everything and that’s just not possible for your wallet or your stomach if you’re not going into it with a team mentality. Continue reading

Urban Eatery | Uptown Minneapolis

Urban Eatery
Standard

Brunch is my favorite weekend pasttime, so when it was suggested that a group of us should meet at Urban Eatery for bloodies and brunch I was beyond ecstatic.

Drinks:

While they did have a Bloody Mary Bar, I was struggling that morning and decided that it was better for everyone involved if it came to me pre-made. It was delicious. Just enough flavor and spice to make it memorable, but not too much for me to not enjoy it.  It also comes with garnish, and since it took our group a while to stop talking long enough to look at the menu and actually order, the snacks were much needed haha.

N E Yacht Club | Northeast Minneapolis

Yacht Club
Standard

The Northeast Yacht Club is a great place to go for a more low-key patio experience.

Drinks:

The drinks are cheap and it’s a good place to anchor up at the bar (see what I did there). They do not offer specials and when asked insist “we offer the same great deals daily.” Continue reading
