Food Scene
Nina's has a unique atmosphere (usually full of interesting people and table sharing is encouraged) with wonderful coffees and teas as well as bakery items and a food menu. Never had anything I didn't like! The building it is in is called The Arcade and it has amazing character - I'd encourage you to wander around a bit!

Iconic Minneapolis breakfast spot with great history (began in 1950), unique atmosphere (only about 10 feet wide), and delicious food (the hollandaise sauce is particularly good). Prepare for a bit of a wait as there are only about a dozen seats at the counter but it's a fun part of the experience and service goes quickly.

You will feel like you are in Europe! The Cathedral is open daily to visit and they have regular mass times listed on their website. The organ was recently restored and is magnificent - if you can attend a concert there, we highly recommend it! Their tours offer some interesting information on the details of the Cathedral as well as how it ties in with the history of the area (my favorite thing to learn about was the shrine that recognizes all the immigrant groups to the area).
