Pick up a Visit Minneapolis! guide book and you will likely be pointed toward the Mall of America, Walker Art Center, and Prince’s purple pants. What you won’t find listed are the low-key spots that make Minneapolis such an eclectic area. Yes, the winters suck and will kill the weak, but if you can last until spring, you will be amazed to see how the city comes alive with micro-breweries, street festivals, and cultural hubs like the Midtown Global Market. But before you make the mistake of calling it a landlocked Portland, Ore., read further and discover the hidden gems that make this city so beautiful.
