We’ve had two really great experiences at Kincaid’s so when we were picking somewhere that felt special to us to celebrate our 1st anniversary dinner it was a natural choice.

Sweet Paris | Woodbury, MN
This last Saturday I was lucky enough* to be invited to the Friends & Family pre-opening of Sweet Paris, the creperie and cafe, in Woodbury, Minnesota. The official Grand Opening is this Monday, October 23, 2023!
*By “lucky enough” I mean I harrassed my brother-in-law who happens to be the Area Manager to get invited hahaha.

I’ve reviewed Tamarack Tap Room before, but this Hipster Hack review is for some of the new Tamarack Tap Room Fall 2023 menu items!

We’ve been to Andiamo Italian Ristorante in Woodbury before and I swear I already wrote a Hipster Hack review, but I guess I was wrong, so here we go!
Continue readingRevival | St. Paul, MN
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!
Continue readingEstelle | St. Paul, MN
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. 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
My 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!
Continue readingSushi Tango | Woodbury, MN
Sushi 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!
Continue readingSmack Shack | Bloomington, MN
If 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
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 ð.
