Minari | Northeast Minneapolis, MN
StandardMy friend Mikayla invited me along to her girl’s night dinner at Minari and I was ecstatic, because on top of it’s only been open a short while and already having heard such amazing things, it’s gives me great joy to head back to my old Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood.
I’m happy to report that this trip was well worth it.

StandardLast year I did a recap of my 12 favorite foods for 12 months and it was so fun I had to do it again for foods of 2024.
Sharing in no particular order…
Continue readingBuca di Beppo | Saint Paul, MN
StandardHusband and I were invited to Buca di Beppo in St. Paul to try out their menu and learn more about the history of their company and the history of that location’s building…including some ghost stories 👻.*
Buca di Beppo is a national chain that actually started in a basement in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their humble beginnings were actually the inspiration behind the name, with Buca di Beppo translating roughly to “Joe’s small place,” in Italian.
*I do want to add a disclaimer that while I was gifted a dinner experience, my review and thoughts are my own.
See pictures of everything we tried below.

StandardI love a theme party and the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is the biggest costume party of the year! The theme is “renaissance” but within 5 minutes of being inside the gates you’ll see that the dress code isn’t universal; medieval, vikings, cottage core, witches, Zelda, Lord of the Rings characters, Dr. Who, Mario Kart, you name it – the gangs all here!

StandardA friend and I stumbled upon the Brickhouse when we were searching for a place to grab some rooftop cocktails in White Bear Lake and it was definitely what I like to think Bob Ross would consider “a happy accident.”
Continue readingApostle Supper Club 2024 | Saint Paul, MN
StandardI previously visited the Apostle Supper Club last year with a friend and remember telling Husband that he had to go back with me because he’d love it and I added it to our list… finally over a year later we made it back 😬.
Continue readingCrisp & Green | Woodbury, MN
StandardWe’ve been frequenters of Crisp & Green in Woodbury since it opened, but you can only eat salads so I am insanely excited that they now have wraps!
Continue readingBebe Zito | Woodbury, MN
StandardI’d previously tried out Bebe Zito at Malcolm Yards Market so I was very excited to see that one was coming to Woodbury, Minnesota and when I realized it was opening in Woodbury Lakes it was a Hallelujah, because Woodbury Lakes has long needed a quick/fast casual food stop, which will hopefully revive the shopping center!
Sharing some of the hits and misses of my visit below.
