Revival St. Paul Hipster Hack Review
Standard

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 Minneapolis Hipster Hack Review
Standard

I 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.

Puttery Minneapolis Minnesota Hipster Hack Review
Standard

My excitement about the opening of Puttery Minneapolis rocketed when I learned it was a 21+ venue.

LITT Pinball Bar Minneapolis Minnesota Hipster Hack
Standard

I’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 😄.
