One of the most famous pieces of Minneapolis. And who wins the Jucy Lucy war? I think Matt's does. I love this place. It isn't far from the space and you can say you enjoyed an original Jucy. Total dive bar but a win for the money. It's a fun spot to visit. And might be a bit touristy, as an authentic Minnesotan, I still LOVE this spot and go there often!

Shopping

I mean...it's MOA. The largest mall in America. While it's not a spot I visit often I imagine if you're visiting the city you'd probably like to take a gander. Luckily you can walk from the space to the 50th street station light rail and hop a $1.75 round trip ride right to the mall. It's worth a look for sure!

The Guthrie Theater was founded in 1963 with an aim to promote theater that was an alternative to the largely commercial Broadway. Today, the Guthrie Theater's mission remains the same but what started off as four productions and a skeletal staff is now a complex that includes three stages: the McGuire Proscenium Stage, the Wurtele Thrust Stage, and Dowling Studio. One doesn't have to be a ticket holder to visit the building and its cafe or lounge. There are also guided and self-guided tours.
