Our PERFECT Day in Minneapolis! Top Things to Do + Trying The World’s BEST Burger!?

My cousin lived in Minneapolis for a few years and I got to visit him in 2013. Need to note this is the most bicycle friendly city I had ever been to. Entire bike paths complete with traffic lights, separate from roadways. And the paths go around the lakes. So beautiful. Also shout out to Britt's Pub downtown!

How dangerous is Minneapolis? The overall crime rate of Minneapolis is 57 for every 1,000 residents, which makes it one of the highest crime rates in the united states. So, if you are moving, visiting, or just driving through Minneapolis, there are some areas that just should be avoided. How The Most Dangerous Cities Are Determined

The murder of George Floyd in May 2020 revealed serious problems with law enforcement. In June, the Justice Department published a report about the Minneapolis’s police department, stating that it remains plagued by unlawful conduct, discrimination, and mismanagement. According to a city police spokesperson, the department has undergone a number of reforms over the past few years. In addition, a new police chief was hired last year to change the culture and narrative around policing and public safety

I've lived in Minneapolis all my life. Been to everything you did a few times. You missed First Avenue that was made famous by Prince. Downtown Minneapolis is a ghost town after the Pandemic. A lot of companies went to remote or a hybrid work place and never looked back. I love all of our State Parks, hiking trails and lakes. The winters are actually mild and only a week or two where going outside physically hurts but you can always go farther North for more cold. I'd recommend Duluth and the North Shore. You will see a lot of Scandinavian influence all over Minnesota but a lot more as you go North. You will hear where the Movie Fargo got the accent from when you go to the North Shore. We also have a large Hmong population and the food is outstanding. Thank you for all you do! The B-Roll filming and editing was some of the best tourist videos I've seen.

[@trailingarm63]

You'd be welcome in any establishment with a haircut like that Eric. Some of my ancestors led by master-mason Alfred Jones commuted to Mn/St Paul from North Wales at the turn of the 19th/20th century because of the demand for experienced masons. His two sons stayed there, but Alfred's wife missed home so he returned and died in Halkyn, Flintshire. He'd previously helped build Halkyn Church, along with the "marble church" in St Asaph and St George's Hall in Liverpool.

That glass fish at the Weisman used to be in the Sculpture Garden! I had no idea the Weisman had it now. I'm also very amused that the apartment hallway art piece is still there. I used to go and see that when I went to school at the U back in the mid 90s! The architect of the museum is Frank Gehry, who also did the Guggeneheim in Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. His style is very famous and it's a really big deal to have one of his buildings here. If you see the Weisman at sunset, the colors reflect off the building. It's very cool.

I know you didn't have time to do more of Minneapolis, the Mary Tyler Moore statue is fun and the capitol of St Paul has lots of neat stuff too. But if you ever get the chance again you need to go up to Duluth and see Canal Park, the Ariel Lift Bridge, Glensheen Mansion, Enger Tower and other interesting sites. Then go over to Lake Itasca to see the headwaters of the Mississippi River, Go up to International Falls (Canadian boarder) and back thru the Boundary Waters and Voyagers National Park and then down the North Shore of Lake Superior back to Duluth. IMO the best parts of MN :) I also hope you took the River Road (HWY 14/61) back to St Louis..again beautiful....but since I live there I'm a bit biased lol...Have wonderful travels wherever you go and Ill be along for the ride!

Best way to eat a Jucy Lucy is to let it sit and snack on the fries for about 3-5 minutes and take a small bite of the burger and dip your fries into the cheese.

Yay! So glad you came to Minnesota ❤Also it would have been cool if you could have stayed longer. The Stone Arch Bridge has an art festival every summer and it was here on the 17th and 18th of June..not sure when you were here. I do hope you come back again to see all the other things that Minnesota has to offer

Grew up in Duluth, lived in Mpls since 1981, have fun in the skyways. Wife and I used to stand on the Stone Arch Bridge to watch the July 4th fireworks. Thanks for stopping and visit again. The Twin Cities also have very large Vietnamese and Hmong populations. My favorite restaurant since 1985 is called Quie Viet on Johnson St. in Northeast Mpls. Cheers & safe travels.

I always liked how the second floor of the buildings where you travel from skyway to skyway is like it’s own little city with retail, dining and services.

Sporting a nice haircut Eric and your humor is a riot.....but Allison comes in subtly and seizes the moment! No haircut needed! Enjoy you guys mega!

My HOMETOWN!! I am Somali, grew up in Minneapolis and had my children there. Same hospital, went same school. I wouldn’t trade anywhere else! Thank you so much. We have been most of the places you’ve been. I Also recommend biking and Minnehaha Falls❤

First, the hair cut is great. Thank you both for putting together such an awesome post. Have a beautiful day.

Great video!! I am so glad that you were able to visit my home state. You definitely do need to return and head up to the North Shore which is along Lake Superior. Or, spend a few days canoeing in the Boundary Waters which has pristine lakes. Definitely a lot to do/see if and when you return! Love the channel!

Oh man, that juicy Lucy looks so good, it's almost worth flying across the pond from the UK just to try it.

That big fish you saw in the Weisman used to be at the walker art park in a glass building. One of my favorite things to see as a kid.

Thank you for doing Minneapolis some justice! Such an amazing city!! You'll have to visit it's "Twin" sometime! Totally different vibe! BTW, we are VERY outdoor active Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall!! Great video!!

[@Uufda651]

Minneapolis is a proper metro vibe metro area, whereas Saint Paul is more like a neighborhood made up of a bunch of smaller neighborhoods.

[@Cruickskank]

It's a gloomy, rainy day here and your videos are always so comforting! 🌧

[@Theendlessadventure]

Glad to bring a little sun and fun to your day 🙌

[@grayeagleswolves]

Good morning Eric and Allison What a great video I have to say Listen when you get a chance to go back to MN you might want to check out the mall of America in Bloomington MN its the best

[@leslieayresrifkind4469]

Y’all should check out Greenville, SC. They built the downtown area around Falls Park / Reedy River. There’s full size trees lining Main Street. It’s gorgeous.

[@samandnick]

Hope you guys are doing well ❤ Sorry about the tough times you guys are going through :(. Still making great content! We would love to go here, we have heard GREAT things about Minneapolis!
