Nicollet Mall
Great convenient inexpensive way to get around Minneapolis & St. Paul. Two lines; Green Line goes all the way to St.Paul and the Blue Line goes all the way to Mall of America. Both have many stops along the way including the VA Hospital, Fisher House etc… Hot day today but nice and cold riding the Metro! Easily accessible near Nicolett Mall
If you are staying downtown, the Blue line train conveniently goes directly to the mall as it’s the end of the line so you won’t get off at the wrong stop. Trains run practically every 5-10 minutes all day long until midnight.
Train fare for an all day 24 hour pass is only $4.50 and can be used til midnight! Train tickets can be purchased at any train stop via cash or card. It’s on the honor system and there is no train operator coming around checking.

Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods grocery store is also a fast convenient place to get a healthy meal on the go. Prices are comparable to all the fast food lunch places in the area. They have 4 food bars with a huge variety to suit everyone’s diets and meal programs including tofu, salmon, various vegetables and fruit combinations.
They also have the deli feature entrees and sides. I can tell you though that later in the day the deli entree items are minimal but the entrees are made fresh daily so you know it’s fresh if they have it.
I opted for a salad with turkey breast and I tried some of the red farro salad which was really healthy and tasty. I like that they list calories and ingredients too. Many dressings to choose as well.
There is a small seating area which makes it nice so you don’t have to leave and figure out where you’re going to sit and eat.

IKEA
IKEA Schaumburg has been here for over 20 years but still maintains itself as a very popular store. The 3 floored store offers a vast variety of items from lawn & garden, kitchen housewares, furniture, lighting, bedding, imported grocery items (cheese, jams, fish) etc… They do offer custom cabinetry and countertops as well.
They also boast a traditional cafeteria where they are known for their Swedish meatballs and fresh baked cinnamon rolls!
It’s right off the expressway and easily accessible.

Cleveland Public Square
Public Square is an amazing place to visit. It’s in the center of Cleveland with a lot of deep history and nostalgic roots. The Square itself boasts a war memorial, bronze statues, a small park, fountain and has many major buildings around it including a church, hotel, casino and Key Bank Headquarters amoung other notables.
Zaytoon Lebanese Kitchen
Zaytoon Lebanese Kitchen is a golden gem for great breakfast and lunch favorites! The minute I walked in I was met with a smile and fast service! I researched this place and I quickly found out why it’s rated very high!
I ordered the Large Fatoosh Salad w/Chicken Shawarma (also offer smaller size). My order was ready in no time and the generous portion of chicken was steaming hot (see the video) atop a huge bed of fresh salad greens and delicious seasoned pita chips that were perfectly paired.
The chicken was rustically lightly seasoned and was cut in pieces that you didn’t have cut again. The salad greens were super fresh and crisp alongside nice bite size pieces of cucumbers, radish, green peppers and onion.
Their salad dressing is sunny, citrusy and really wakes up your salad. They also have a hot salsa. Surprisingly the salsa was not a bit watery like most other places! It was a perfect blend of vegetables and spices. It was nice and pulpy and I loved it in part of my salad. These are all made in house daily!
Standouts:
Very generous portions
Super fresh ingredients
Everything made in house
Clean, neat and orderly establishment
Super friendly owner and workers
