Food scene

Most of my expertise lies in places with vegan options (see below--still check them out if you are not vegan as most of the places still serve meat and are delicious in general). These places come highly recommended.

Located in St. Paul, this is a really neat market inside an old brewery. Contains lots of food options (try Revival if you're not vegan or Pimento's if you are, plus Sweet Science ice cream for everyone!) and a brewery. There's lots of market stalls as well, including a mushroom store, a place with a million different flavors of cotton candy, halva, and more.
