    MN Nice Cream | Northeast Minneapolis

    I’ve been staring at photos from MN Nice Cream on Instagram for, well, YEARS and I’ve passed it driving more times than I can count so when my sister went to the new Stillwater location before I got there and rubbed it in my face, it was game on! Luckily, during our annual brewery crawl…

  • Monte Carlo Restaurant | Minneapolis

    Monte Carlo Restaurant | Minneapolis

    Working downtown means getting to enjoy lunch menus of places that may be a little too pricey for a normal dinner…like Monte Carlo. Fun fact: I had actually just broken my iphone the night before we went to lunch so my boss used his to take these photos instead haha. THAT is the epitome of…

    Tamarack Tap Room | Woodbury, Minnesota

    Tamarack Tap Room used to be one of the defunct Champps Americana locations when I was growing up well into my adulthood. My family used to frequent this location pretty often and when I got older I used to go with friends to play “Bucks” and hang with CA the DJ. When they closed, I…

    Vali-Hi Drive-In | Lake Elmo, Minnesota

    I lucked out growing up near Vali-Hi Drive-In. It was literally only a 10 minute drive for me unlike many people who have to make the drive in a destination, it was pretty standard for my friends and I to go and watch a couple movies and then rush home before curfew.

    Minnesota State Fair 2019 | Saint Paul, Minnesota

    I went into the Minnesota State Fair with an ambitious list of new foods and drafted my line-up of three other people willing to help; Noelle, Lisa & Tom…as you probably already guessed, we did not make it all the way through the list haha. The hard part about new fair foods is that it…

  • Cold Front Ice Cream | Saint Paul, Minnesota

    Cold Front Ice Cream | Saint Paul, Minnesota

    We discovered Cold Front Ice Cream while visiting their next door neighbor, The Nook. I was in love with them the moment I read their savage sign out front and knew it wouldn’t matter how full we were after dinner, because we were definitely going in there to support this locally owned establishment.

  • The Nook | Saint Paul, Minnesota

    The Nook | Saint Paul, Minnesota

    I’m almost embarrassed to say this was my first time eating at The Nook in Saint Paul considering for 3 years I lived a mere 5 blocks away. In my defense, I was a regular at Shamrocks on West 7th, which is owned by the same people and has most of the same menu items!…
