As we've said a few times already in this blog, there are little things in Minneapolis that are hidden away, and surprise you when you see them. Though it's obviously no secret, St. Anthony Main isn't talked about very often, and we don't understand why. There's a movie theater, a few bars, some stores, all along this riverfront cobblestone street. While Dave is a big fan of the little old movie theater, Lizzie doesn't like its uncomfortable seats. Otherwise, we agree on St. Anthnoy Main as a beautiful spot, especially if you're...Drinking outside! That's right, we combined two items on the list into one event. Do you feel cheated? Hopefully the "Also" bonus posts will make up for it. We are nothing if not fair bloggers. Anyway: drinking outside at St. Anthony Main. There's nothing better than enjoying a cold beer at Pracna after seeing a stupid summer movie at the theater - it's a reward for suffering through the cold, snowy winter months. The view from that cobblestone street is amazing, because you see the downtown buildings, the river, the Stone Arch Bridge, the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, the Gold Medal Flour sign. And though Pracna is sometimes full of college freshmen trying their first cigar, it's a nice place to grab a beer, some fries, and one of the best views around. We went to Pracna on Sunday night, in perfect weather. The view was as awesome as always.
And drinking outside? There are some great places to do it in Minneapolis. There's something special about sitting in the sunshine and drinking some cold alcohol, especially - are you sensing a theme? - after a horrendous winter.
We'll have more to say about the St. Anthony area in a future post (get excited!).
