Get your morning bagel fix in this chain bagel spot. Coolest thing? It's housed in an old fire house! (Plus it's just a couple blocks from the house.)

Walk into the front door of this place and be transported to a French bistro. Delicious tartines, fries and mussels and a great selection of French wines. Save for a special night out. Be sure to make reservations! This place is within walking distance of the house--about 8 blocks.

Some of the best Thai in town! Order out or stay in. Delicious, homestyle recipes. When your tummy is full, take some time to walk around downtown Linden Hills--a beautiful part of the city. This is a 10-minute drive from the house.

Great atmosphere at this place! And one killer burger. Owned by the same owner/chef as Saint Genevieve. A great place for lunch or dinner. Take some time to walk Linden Hills while you're over there!

A 3-block walk from the house, check out this delicious haute-cuisine Mexican menu and be amazed. Get there early to grab a spot on the patio. Service is kind of slow, but definitely worth the wait!

Parks & Nature

Just 13 blocks from the house, Lake Harriet is one of the finest city lakes. Free concerts almost every night during the summer at the band shell, free yoga at 6:30 every morning between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and a great place to ice skate, snowshoe and cross-country ski during the winter. Catch the bike trail here to circle the lake or to take the Grand Rounds around several of the city lakes. South Beach is a lovely place to watch the sunset year-round!

The walking/bike trail that leads to Minnehaha Falls is less than a mile away. The trail itself is stunning if you're up for a walk. Drive along Minnehaha Parkway to get all the way to the falls or take your bike for a great ride. The Falls are beautiful any time of year. In the summer, stop by Sea Salt in the park for some great seafood and suds.

Arts & Culture

Slate enough time to see this enormous collection! There's an amazing Asian collection and there's always a great special exhibition. My favorites are the period rooms and the African section. Free admission.

One of the most reknown collections of modern art in the Midwest. Check what's showing before you go--sometimes the art can be a challenge. DO be sure to check out the sculpture gardens for the iconic "Spoonbridge and Cherry" and the "Blue Cock" (garden is free admission). Put your feet up in Esker Grove for a nice drink, tasty bites, and a lovely view.

The best view in the city, in my opinion, is off the hanging bridge of the Guthrie Theater. Have a cocktail in the lounge and wander outside and you're assured a smile! The Guthrie is the most famous of our many great theaters, and the shows here are usually a good bet. Check out the rush line for discounted tickets.

This is a great place to grab locally themed gifts for your pals back home. Or really, just great gifts for anyone. From lotions to jewelry, coloring books to marshmallow guns, Patina is definitely worth the trip.
