Minneapolis/St Paul natives tour guide thread?

In the past there has been a thread where the locals give advice/reccomendations to visitors on what to see, where to stay, where to eat , and especially where to party during the FF. Here is my attempt to start one, with a little background. We happen to be staying at the Westin Minneapolis. I would appreciate any knowledge of where to go to eat nearby etc. But for all of us coming to town, NATIVES, how about a little info on places to go to have fun and enjoy the Twin Cities. Thanks in advance.

If you're planning on eating around the X, get their early, because McGovern's, the Woodfire Grill, etc. fill up fast.

Cosetta's is one of my favorite spots for italian. It's not far from the rink, but parking can be sparse. Get the lasagna and a slice of pizza (which is about the size of a paper plate!) A great base for a night of drinking at McGovern's..or Alary's if you enjoy drinking while peeking at some VERY attractive college girls that are wearing next to nothing! ;) Note: Not a good place to bring the wives or children.

Also, you WILL get asked to leave if you call Alary a "fat ****". Who knew?

The Westin is in the heart of the downtown, um financial district, I guess. Bank restaurant and bar is on the ground floor - not sure if that is a hot spot or not these days, it got some buzz when it opened but I haven't heard much about it lately. I've only gone there for breakfast and lunch. I think you're at least a few blocks from any of the current hot spots. I'll look around when I get a minute and see if I come up with any ideas.

If you are looking for a good meal Shamrocks is always a good place and it is only about 1 mile from the Xcel.

There will likely be courses open. They won't be great courses and certainly no CCs will open until it drys out some more. Lots of ranges will open and maybe a few short courses.

Red Savoy's Pizza never disappoints, my friends and I go everytime we are in St Paul especially for hockey or golfing. Doesn't quite have the staff that Alary's has but the food is much better, the drinks are stiff, and the embassy suite shuttle will drive you there and pick you up for less than $5. Other than that, St Paul's row of Tom Reid's, McGovern's, and Woodfire will get you what you need.
 
Re: Minneapolis/St Paul natives tour guide thread?

I really like Great Waters, which is only a few blocks from the X and very close to Candyland.
 
Re: Minneapolis/St Paul natives tour guide thread?

We are arriving around noon at MSP on Wednesday and will looking for a place for lunch, any suggestions? We have a rental.
 
Re: Minneapolis/St Paul natives tour guide thread?

If you just want some food at a landmark you gotta hit Mickeys Dining Car which is a block from the Xcel.
