This past weekend we hit up a new to use brewery, Wabasha Brewing Company located in the west side of Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Northern Tap House | Woodbury, Minnesota
Ever since trying out Northern Tap House at their Plymouth location I have been counting down the days until the Woodbury location opened.

The Lake Elmo Inn restaurant is an East suburbs icon that until now I have never eaten at. For our wedding in late 2022 we received a gift card from my best friends parents with a note that they wanted to provide us an experience to one of their favorite places, which was beyond sweet and exactly the kind of thoughtful gift I love. So I was excited when husband reminded me that we had it and suggested it would be a great place to go for Valentine’s Day.
He was right…something I don’t usually admit haha.
Continue readingLolito – New Location | Stillwater, Minnesota
I know I know, Lolito has been in it’s new spot for a long time, but I haven’t been yet so I’m going to pretend this is as new to everyone as it is to me and write a Hipster Hack about it 😂
Continue readingSaint Paul Brewing | St. Paul, Minnesota
I’ve previously dedicated an entire Hipster Hack to my love of the Saint Paul Brewing patio and the eclectic seating vignettes, but now that it’s too cold to be outside (remind me why I live in Minnesota again?) we’ve been able to experience the back of the brewery, which also homes a bunch of eclectic seating areas and funky, recycled designs.
Cliff notes: this brewery is my absolute favorite. But keep reading if you require more evidence 😂

As a vodka enthusiast, I’m embarrassed to say this is only my second time visiting Moscow on the Hill in Saint Paul 😬. Lately husband and I have been stuck in a bit of a rut so when he told me it was my turn to pick date night I put together a list of places I was long overdue for a visit and when he saw Moscow on the Hill and he realized he could get some quality “beef strogo” it was an immediate yes for him.

When I heard that a new concept, eM Que Viet, was being opened by the same families who own Que Viet Villages and the Que Viet Concession at the Minnesota State Fair, but with the added bonus of a full bar, I was all in. I was so excited to finally get there to check it out for my monthly friendship dinner and it definitely lived up to Que Viet’s reputation.
Continue readingRonnally’s Pizza | Woodbury, MN
While creating my “Favorite Foods of 2023” post I realized my immense oversight in never writing a dedicated Hipster Hack food review for Ronnally’s Pizza and Pasta in Woodbury, Minnesota. So here I am to right my wrong!
Ronnally’s is locally owned and Woodbury’s longest standing restaurant. Opened in 1973, they actually just celebrated their 50th year in business!
Continue readingFavorite Foods of 2023 | Twin Cities, MN
I thought I’d try something a little different and do a recap of my 12 favorite foods for 12 months of 2023!
I go out pretty frequently, but sometimes it’s just drinks and an app or somewhere I’ve been before so it doesn’t always make sense to do a full on Hipster Hack review. In this format I’ll be able to highlight some of those other places that make foods I adore!
Sharing in no particular order…
Continue readingHope Breakfast Bar | Saint Paul, MN
After my sister sent me a photo of the giant pickle pretzel at Hope Breakfast Bar with a “when are we going?” message, I had a reservation booked within 5 minutes haha.
