From cozy wine bars to the maximalist patio at Lola’s Lakehouse, from beloved neighborhood dives to groundbreaking restaurant stars like Owamni, these pages celebrate the tastes that make Minnesota outstanding. Chosen by you, our food-savvy readers, these are places where we meet up, hang out, and dig in. Find the perfect spot to host your special event, take a date, sample a new cuisine, or simply celebrate Tuesday—just bring your appetite for good times and great people.

Raise a glass to local craft producers

Skoal! With 200+ taprooms, vineyards, and distilleries like Chaska’s Chankaska Creek, our state offers a wide range of ways to whet your whistle and kick back with friends while supporting talented master brewers, distillers, and vintners. These days, you’ll find an inspiring array of pours, from biodynamical wines and botanically infused liquors to hoptastic wonders and exceptional NA options.

Whether your preferences run traditional (sidecars, lagers, or martinis) or wild (shochu sours, galangal aquavit), you’ll find it here. Mix it up and make it a memorable occasion by taking a road trip to scenic North Shore breweries like Duluth Cider for the weekend. Rose´all day with the girls at a local winery or tasting room, where many vintners are happy to send you home with a few bottles of your favorite pinots and cabs. Or get your inner chemist on with a behind-the-scenes distillery tour that lets you see how mash goes to cask and finally ends up in your glass. Just need something to do on a warm summer evening? Go relax with a pint and a few pals on a sprawling brewery patio under the stars. (Tip: many patios are dog friendly, so you don’t have to leave your four-legged best friend at home.) Whatever your mood, our homegrown toasting scene is a reason to cheer.

Broaden your horizons with the global-local food scene

Forget clichés about bland, boring food— when it comes to bold flavors, Minnesota is

nobody’s flyover country. Pack your sense of adventure and try dishes like fragrant pho at Que Viet Village House. Snack your way through Eat Street’s many hot spots for bahn mi, vegetarian curries, and spring rolls galore. You can find global delights—think tangy dal, smoky asada tacos, irresistible lumpia, and pillowy, poky arepas just about everywhere, from bustling food halls and outdoor markets to food truck festivals or hole-in-the-wall delis tucked into the back of convenience stores. Thanks to the amazingly talented Minnesota cooks, chefs, and food entrepreneurs who’ve put us firmly on the nation’s culinary map, it’s the perfect time to fall in love with a culture through its food.

Forage something unexpected for your next meal

Have you ever eaten a fresh-picked dandelion? A vibrant orange chicken of the woods mushroom? How about a pungent, garlicky wild ramp? It’s time to get on the foraging bandwagon! Roots, fruits, fungus, herbs, and greens—our local chefs love going natural with edible vegetation that adds fresh zing to menus. Hint: local farmer’s markets are a great source of foraged goodness if you want to try this trend at home.

A memorable way to experience the trend is by attending a farm dinner. These leisurely events feature an outdoor multi-course meal in a beautiful pastoral setting—the ideal way for chefs to highlight sustainable, seasonal food and foraged wild ingredients. Check local listings and book ahead—these events can sell out quickly. As more restaurants and diners embrace mindfully delicious eating, it’s

easy to find farm-forward spots that make the most of Minnesota’s bounty.

Savor retro elegance

Do you ever wake up craving swank midcentury decor, perfectly seasoned steak, and a giant relish tray? Look no further—supper clubs like J.D. Hoyt’s in Minneapolis’ thriving North Loop and Wiederholt’s historyrich destination in Hastings are having a renaissance. An offshoot of Prohibition-era roadhouses that sprung up along remote state highways, the supper club is back and better than ever. Nosh on steak, shrimp, fish, and rib-sticking sides while enjoying a classic old-fashioned or an ice-cold martini. While knotty pine paneling is optional, joyful indulgence is not, so make a reservation and come hungry.

Red light, green door, secret code word— speakeasies may be tricky to find, but they’re worth it. Not to mention a fun way to impress out-of-town guests or arrange a top-secret rendezvous. Typically staffed by friendly, knowledgeable bartenders who may or may not sport handlebar mustaches and suspenders, speakeasies offer a shot of clandestine glamour and old-school esoteric ingredients like gentian, cherry bark, and fennel. You can even find bartenders eager to whip up something special based on your mood. And if you do visit a speakeasy, don’t forget to pour one out for Andrew Volstead while you’re there—Prohibition was the brainchild of the Goodhue County native. Cheers!

“I simply felt everyone deserved better.”

-Elizabeth Orme Creatively Focused

Creatively Focused: Championing Lifelong Learning for Special Education Teams

The ripple effect that a teacher’s influence can have on a student’s life extends well beyond a classroom curriculum. They not only help us identify our strengths and navigate challenges but also ignite a genuine passion for learning.

That’s what drove Elizabeth Orme into the field of education.

Drawing from her experience as a research assistant at the University of Chicago, Orme witnessed a concerning trend among teachers: as they dealt with the demands of their profession, their enthusiasm waned. With this fatigue, however, she also witnessed the transformation that occurred when they came together, shared their experiences, and collaborated.

When Orme decided to pursue special education, she quickly learned the harsh realities of the field: long hours, endless paperwork, and a lack of a support system. She frequently felt overwhelmed when the needs of her students varied so greatly across different classes, with no resources available to provide guidance or support.

“I went in thinking I’ve done research. I know how to do paperwork. I love working with kids,” Orme said. “This should be a breeze, and it wasn’t at all.”

A schoolwide challenge

After a few years as a special educator, Orme left the position. And she wasn’t alone. Half of special educators leave the field after five years. Despite her passion for her work, Orme shifted into the role of a special education director, but she soon discovered

that she would encounter many of the same challenges. But even with her best efforts, burnout persisted, compounded by overwhelming administrative work that hindered her ability to provide support to her fellow educators.

Witnessing numerous colleagues leave the field, Orme recognized the far-reaching implications of this issue, affecting not only the teachers but also the students and their families.

“I simply felt that everyone deserved better,” Orme said.

Taking action

In 2016, Orme decided it was time to fix the problem and founded Creatively Focused. Starting as a coaching organization, Orme and her team went to districts across Minnesota and helped them find solutions to support special educators better. When the pandemic forced educators to transition learning to the virtual world, Creatively Focused was ready.

The organization was already shifting its focus to a virtual platform to help educators access trainings, manage workflows, and navigate paperwork.

Creatively Focused has developed into a one-stop-shop for educators to feel valued, supported, and connected throughout their demanding day so they can focus where it truly counts – on the students.

Specialized support

Today, special educators in districts nationwide use the Creatively Focused platform. Through the platform, educators can access pieces of training that are tailored to their needs, schedule out their day, get

questions answered and even connect with other educators.

Not only does the support help special educators spend more time focusing on their students, but it removes the silos that can make them feel isolated from the rest of the school.

“We’re partnering with districts to think differently about how they’re investing in their educators to be lifelong learners,” Orme said.

So what’s next for Creatively Focused? Orme says she hopes to get the platform into schools in all 50 states. And it’s not just special educators who can benefit from it. Districts have also started using the platform for other teachers, too.

“Our goal is simple: we want everyone working with children and families with unique needs to get the personalized support they need. It’s about helping them not just survive, but thrive in their roles, feel fulfilled, and make their profession a lifelong calling,” said Orme.

Weird,wow and uniquely Minnesota

Let’s take a moment to celebrate how much fun Minnesota is. From hiking, fishing, and outdoor sports to embracing the arts or reveling in our incredibly diverse music scene, there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for something more offbeat, we’ve got you covered. Whether you have a few hours, a weekend, or more, make a list, grab a map, and check out a few of our favorite wacky, wonderful, and only-in-Minnesota roadside attractions. Where else can you marvel at awesome scenery—pristine lakes, rolling prairies, majestic river bluffs—and snap a selfie with a 65-foot muskie in Bena, MN?

Meet a few of our north stars

If you’ve spent any time in Minnesota, you’ve heard about our beloved lumberjack Paul Bunyan and Babe, his Blue Ox. Paul’s giant footprints (so the story goes) created our state’s 10,000 lakes. Pose with the big guy in Akeley, Bemidji, Nisswa and Pequot Lakes—or head to Brainerd’s can’t-miss Paul Bunyan Land to visit with a twenty-six-foot animatronic Paul, old-time amusement rides, a petting zoo, and an 1800s-era Pioneer Village.

As long as you’re heading north, don’t miss a chance to run with the wolves. These majestic, misunderstood native canines have friends at Ely’s acclaimed International Wolf Center. There you’ll learn fun facts like that every wolf pack has a unique howl, and about conservation and education efforts to help wolves and people coexist. Meet ambassador wolves, take a field trip with biology experts, and become a different kind of Timberwolves superfan. Check wolf.org before you go for hours.

Over in Duluth, the Aerial Lift Bridge goes up and down about 5,000 times yearly, so you won’t wait long to see it in action. Built in 1905, the bridge has a unique suspension system that lifts it 135 feet in the air, letting ships from around the world enter the harbor. Take in the view from Canal Park’s North Pier Lighthouse or get up close on the pedestrian bridge.

The birthplace of 10,000 celebrities

Well, maybe not that many, but we couldn’t be prouder of the legendary actors and musicians who called Minnesota home.

Head to Hibbing to visit the stomping grounds of Bob Dylan, who went from being a Midwestern folk musician to the voice of his generation. Then take the Yellow Brick Road to Grand Rapids’ Judy Garland Museum and learn all about the iconic chanteuse, from her early career to her world-wide fame as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Devoted fans know about the theft and recovery of Dorothy’s famous ruby slippers—if not, the museum offers a tour that will get you up to speed.

And don’t forget the Purple One. You don’t need a little red Corvette to get to Paisley Park to pay homage to the late, great Prince at his Chanhassen recording studio. The Park is a treasure trove of his over-the-top concert wardrobes, custom musical instruments, artifacts, and ephemera that illuminate his too-short purple reign. You can find more Prince tributes strolling the city he loved-swing by the spectacular murals downtown Minneapolis on 9th Street or in Uptown at 26th and Hennepin.

Kooky curiosities and one-of-a-kind art

Does canned ham need a museum? You betcha–see for yourself in Austin, MN. Discover the history of this magical meat product—and bring home snackable flavors like jalapeno and maple. If you’re in western Minnesota, you owe it to yourself to pay your respects to the World’s Largest Ball of Twine Made By One Man. At 17,400 lbs., the beauty of the Largest Ball of Twine is that it exists at all. Rolled between 1950–1979 by Francis A. Johnson, it lives in a gazebo in Darwin, Minnesota AND appears in a Weird Al Yankovic song.

Creativity abounds at the Franconia Sculpture Park in the beautiful St. Croix River Valley. Roam among 100+ sculptures and installations in the 50-acre park and marvel at how it connects you with new ways to think about land, nature, and aesthetic vision. For more hands-on fun, head to the West Bank’s House of Balls, where artist Allen Christian carves whimsical pieces from old bowling balls, air ducts, frying pans, and more.

For science-minded seekers of strangeness, head to south Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs and tour the anechoic chamber. Designed for product testing, this super-silent chamber of solitude (you can hear your own heartbeat!) delights and disorients those willing to enter. Got kids? Head over to the Bakken Museum. Housed in an elegant Tudor mansion, it offers hair-raising interactive electricity and electromagnetism exhibits sure to spark conversation.

Head underground

Formerly a mine, mob hideout, and disco, the Wabasha Street Caves deliver history, legends, and maybe a few gangster ghosts. Check their calendar for tour information or grab a date for the ever-popular swing dance evening. If you’re serious about geology fun, wander the passages of Mystery Cave State Park in Preston. Discovered in 1937, it’s home to Minnesota’s longest cave, festooned with fantastic stalactites, stalagmites, and underground pools. The cave temperature is 48 ° all year round, so dress warmly as you take in the coolest of karst formations.
