Episode 6 St Paul and Minneapolis: Resident Advice

For this episode, I once again enlist the help of my friend Ananya for advice on the best spots in St Paul and Minneapolis. We discuss what the Mississippi River looks like in the snow, the various parks in St Paul and Minneapolis including Minnehaha Falls in the latter, discovering good restaurants like Cossetta on dates, where to find meat in ‘pulled formats’ or get a great burger, and why Lake Street is like Diagon Alley.
