I have a Hipster Hack for Revival in Minneapolis already, but we recently checked out the Saint Paul location so it felt like it deserved a second, because 1. the original review was from 2019 and 2. we tried out the brunch menu this time and it was very good!

Estelle | St. Paul, MN
StandardI was having a day the other week so instead of letting me sulk, husband took matters into his own hands and pulled together an impromptu dinner at a place we had never been: Estelle in St. Paul. What can I say, after almost 6 years together he knows that food, drinks, and a new restaurant has a 100% success rate of improving my mood ð.
Continue readingPuttery | Minneapolis, MN
StandardMy excitement about the opening of Puttery Minneapolis rocketed when I learned it was a 21+ venue. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE playing mini-golf with my niece and nephews, but it would be a lie to say that I love being surrounded by kids on a date activity ðŽ and I love that as adults we’re reclaiming some of the fun we had as kids like mini-golf and arcade games!

StandardSushi dates with my momma are my favorite tradition. We normally go to Akita since it’s right down the road from my apartment, but we were both ready to try somewhere new so I was excited to finally try Sushi Tango in Tamarack Village!

StandardIf lobster mac was a personality trait, my enneagram would be “The Eater.” I’ve been a loyal customer of the North Loop Smack Shack for years so when I found out my friend was flying into town from Texas, Smack Shack Bloomington was the perfect way to remind him that he made the wrong choice by moving ðĪŠ.
Continue readingLITT Pinball Bar | Minneapolis, MN
StandardI’ve been to LITT Pinball Bar a few times over the years so it seemed like the perfect day date adventure for my birthday!
I’m very pro activities associated with childhood being reclaimed as acceptable adult activities. I have to confess that the first time I went to LITT was back when it had recently opened as TILT. I was there to meet up with a tinder date and was optimistic, yet very skeptical, that it would be fun because I personally find Up-Down to be overwhelming (super crowded and not a lot of moving room), but I am happy to report I was wrong. He may not have been right for me*, but LITT sure was ð.
Continue readingHazelwood Food and Drink 2023 | Woodbury, MN
StandardI did my first review of Hazelwood Food & Drink back in December when they had recently opened, so it felt fitting that 8 months later we should visit again and see if it was still living up to the hype!
Continue readingGary’s Supper Club | Lakeville, MN
StandardI recently met up with one of my bests for brunch at Gary’s Supper Club in Lakeville, Minnesota. The food was really good and despite it being a “supper club” it was actually pretty casual!
Continue readingLakewood Tavern | Lake Elmo, MN
StandardWe were itching to try somewhere new, but were starving so didn’t really want to make the drive into the cities so it was the perfect opportunity to finally check out the new Lakewood Tavern in Lake Elmo!
