Celebrate and savor the Twin Cities’ diversity and heritage at these cultural districts in Minneapolis and St. Paul. MINNEAPOLIS CEDAR-RIVERSIDE Flanking downtown Minneapolis, this thriving neighborhood is the city’s hub for East African residents and boasts some of the best Ethiopian and Somali food in the country. It’s also home to premier venues for live comedy, theater, dance and music, plus a handful of neighborhood bars. MINNEAPOLIS CENTRAL AVENUE Situated at the edge of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, Central Avenue is known for its many restaurants and groceries featuring a wide variety of global flavors. It’s one of the city’s best spots for dining out, and in Northeast Minneapolis you’re never far from a brewery, either. MINNEAPOLIS EAST LAKE East Lake Street is a lively South Minneapolis corridor of small shops, galleries, restaurants and businesses sustaining and supporting the city’s many immigrant and artist communities. From specialty stores to cultural centers and community arts spaces, East Lake is one of the city’s most vibrant centers of cultural pluralism. ST. PAUL DISTRICT DEL SOL Home to one of the nation’s largest Cinco de Mayo celebrations along with many Latino-owned restaurants and businesses you can visit year-round, District del Sol prides itself on being St. Paul’s most vibrant Latino neighborhood. Just don’t get lost on your way here; the neighborhood is located on the city’s West Side, which is actually south of downtown. ST. PAUL MIDWAY Located approximately midway between both downtowns, Midway is home to some of St. Paul’s best live music venues, restaurants and breweries. Take the Green Line light rail to the Snelling Avenue station to enjoy diverse dining options like the Eritrean-Ethiopian-American diner fare at Snelling Cafe, catch a Minnesota United soccer game at Allianz Field or simply stroll until something catches your eye. #ONLYINMN Share your Minneapolis-St.Paul moments on social media using #OnlyinMN and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest to inspire your next getaway.
