The Nokomis Nest’s Guidebook
Food scene
We love this place and highly recommend the pizza, the lasagna and the gelato! Super cute but very small go early or expect a wait.
It’s a local favorite and for good reason. The food never disappoints, it’s so good and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Born and raised in the neighborhood this spot offers great beer and even better food, if that’s possible? Get the chili cheese dogs or the Cuban Rueben and if you like craft beer the Big Jim.

This was one of the first vintage stores I feel in love with and I hold this one close to my heart. A great mix of home goods and vintage clothing you will adore this shop, and bonus it's just as cute outside as it is inside.

Home of the MN Vikings! Like the Target Center US Banks stadium will also hold concerts, if you go be sure to sit as close as you can, the quality in sound decreases as you go up.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué empacar
Sturdy shoes or boots
When it's below freezing and everything turns to ice it's almost impossible to get around in heels - something with a little more grip and a bit more coverage but still cute is best!
Cómo moverse
An Uber, Lyft or Taxi is the easiet way to get around.
You can get just about anywhere in the city for under $20 and they drop you at the door - a huge bonus when it's below zero.
Reserva antes de ir
Make Reservations if Possible

Minnehaha Falls
They are pretty all season long. I know that's kind of hard to believe but have you ever seen a frozen water fall, it's pretty amazing. If you go in the summer be sure to grab a bite at Sea Salt.
