Re: Time to drop a deuce: the second MN Gopher Offseason Thread
One possible reason being the also vibrant rehab scene with Hazeldon Clinic located here - many big city chefs have came out here for the dry-out program and stayed to contribute to the food industry.
Really? Never heard about that, but never thought about it either...
And after the game a short drive to Alary's in Saint Paul is WELL WORTH THE 10 min drive..... The hottest ladies around

You can check their webcam first to see how it is. It's a good place and isn't expensive either.
You'll find that much of the food in Minnesota is on par with what was available in Stalingrad in '44.
The Lutefisk and Lefse are two popular dishes.
I've never had either and I've lived in this state all of my life.
A couple of questions, since CHTG is down:
1) Can you give me some recommendations on what's there to see in Minneapolis (besides Gopher hockey) during that weekend? I will be arriving to MSP around noon on Friday and leaving around 3 pm on Sunday. Suggestions would be appreciated...
2) What kind of food is Minnesota famous for? Are there eateries you folks would recommend to a visitor? What about local brew pubs?
Thanks for your help!
Where area are you staying? If you have a car, take a day trip down to Red Wing and along the river. Should still be some nice fall foliage. You can also buy some Red Wing boots!
I don't think Matt's Bar is that great, I find it over-rated. I prefer The Nook in St. Paul across the street from the legendary Cretin High School in St. Paul at Hamline and Randolph. They perfected the Juicy Lucy(Nookie as they call it) or have a Paul Molitor Burger.
Minneapolis has a good comedy club scene too. Show times may be tough to get to, but Rick Bronson's House of Comedy in Mall of America, The Joke Joint in Bloomington and Lilydale, and Acme in Minneapolis are all good.
Check out Moscow on the Hill in St. Paul on Selby and Western for your vodka needs!
I need to get there someday...
Downtown Stillwater is cool area that's also very scenic. Nice bars and restaurants along the St. Croix River.
If you like churches and such, the Cathedral in St. Paul is beautiful place.
