Mill City Museum
2023 Sep 06
Wonderful museum that tells the history of Minneapolis through its successful flour milling companies that still exist today. The exhibits and experiences help understand the initial founding of the city, early colonizers, and necessary labor movement that grew out of a highly profitable but dangerous industry in its early days. The ruins of the former mill are a dramatic backdrop to the gorgeous river and falls views, which show how civic engineering can change a city's fortunes.

This is a great Italian option in Harlem a with wood burning oven to cook pizzas and pastas. They have delicious entree salads as well. My only complaint is the ubiquitous painful metal seats that so many eateries have chosen. I know for a fact they are designed to become uncomfortable after a certain time to move customers out. This place is too lovely to feel pained to move out, rather than enjoy dinner with friends and family.

Uninspired Mexican food that seems more for the tourist crowd in the neighborhood. There are a lot of screens so has a feel of a sports bar. However, the staff are excellent.

Feels like a Korean take on American bistro food. They have small plates, apps and some plates for sharing. We had a delicious squid ink rice and seafood paella. We won an order of truffle fries by spinning the wheel when we arrived, and they were fantastic. Fun for larger and smaller groups.

This center for excellence is amazing. The vision and commitment of gifted musician educators and administrators is in full display. Enjoyed a beautiful spring jazz concert available to the public, and can't wait to return for more.
