Sculpture Garden, Stone Arch Bridge, St. Anthony Main, Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles Brit's Pub, visit the Warehouse District/North Loop, kayak on the Mississippi, visit the university area (Dinkytown), go visit Uptown (i.e. Stella's Fish Cafe & Oyster Bar, Chino Latino's, Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream)...

Honestly, I'd consider getting a bike from one of the Nice Ride locations and use the Greenway to get from destination to destination. It's a great trail.

Had a good time there a few years back. I can't remember any specifics. They have a ton of great whiskey bars that serve drinks the right way. So at the worst, there is that.

I know a girl that lives there, she's very cute and a lot of fun.

Let me know.

Parts of St. Paul are nice if you get into the St. Thomas and Macalester areas, but the majority of it kind of sucks. Minneapolis, on the other hand, is a terrific place to live.

I suppose if you're a tourist, this would be a place to visit. Nickelodeon Universe is pretty cool to walk through, there are a lot of dining options, and a hell of a lot of shops (obviously). Only downside is that it's located in Bloomington. It's a 10-12 mile drive from Minneapolis or you could take the Light Rail.

Yeah you gotta visit the mall of America.

Also you can have fun going downtown and walking through buildings and the sky bridges.

Don't visit the mall of America. It's a tourist trap.

They have a ton of good food options and taprooms that are right next to each other. Check out dangerous man, 612, sociable, fulton. Go to a twins game. Go by lake Calhoun, the view is incredible for multiple reasons... You can rent kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and all kind of shite out there. Walk around downtown too.
