The deserts here are SO GOOD!! The rest of the menu changes daily depending on the weather and season. Fresh and homemade are the two words that come to mind. Quick and casual, too!

Not your average Italian joint, Pazzaluna serves nothing but the finest selections dreamed up by an award winning chef. Pricey, but well worth! Bring your dress shoes and a tie, they use real tablecloths here :)

12364 145th St WSuper fun conservation type zoo that is pay admission only. Kinda pricey, but well worth the cover charge for a day of entertainment. Cool indoor exhibits that are perfect for getting out of the sun and rain. The food here is waaay over priced and kinda gross, so bring your own snacks and a sandwich unless you like $11 dinosaur chicken nuggets or pizza that is essentially made from crackers and canned tomato sauce.
Check out the polar bears!! I have a personal preference for aquatic mammals, having grown up by the ocean, and the MN Zoo actually has a fair representation of them. Neat outdoor seal lion pool, and even stinky penguinos! The grizzly exhibit is also super cool, you can get right up close and personal with them if they're in the mood!
