Food Scene

The day you have your first Jucy Lucy at Matt's Bar will be the day you fall in love with Minneapolis. This is where the best burger was built: hot melted cheese in the middle of the patty. Even President Obama couldn't resist the Jucy Lucy when he came to our neighborhood in 2014.

Yes, it's the mothership, the largest Mall in the USA. No better place to see Minnesotans in their natural environment. Also, there are stores, movie theaters, an aquarium, restaurants and bars. Did you know Minnesota invented the indoor mall? Minnesota's knack for retail innovation produced Best Buy, Target, and the place where Mr. Richard Sears started it all (see Midtown Exchange description).
