Minneapolis vs. St. Paul
My friend Nate told me he found his new favorite bar in the Twin Cities - the Muddy Pig on Dale in St. Paul. Knowing Nate is from St. Paul and currently lives in St. Paul, I still questioned how it could be that great since it's in St. Paul.
If you know me, you know I love lists, thus, his response is super fun:
Haven't you learned that most of the best things in the Twin Cities reside in Saint Paul?
- Best pizza
- best sushi
- best bar
- best Mexican (restaurant)
- best stadium/concert venue
- best Irish bar
- best German restaurant (best German bar is still Gasthof, however)
- best Italian deli
- best steak/lobster dish
- best Russian restaurant
- best airport
- best ice cream
I'll give Minneapolis
- best club
- best downtown
- best pool hall
- best lake
- best German bar
- best strip club
- best $ex store
- best bridge
- best coffee shop
Okay, so maybe it is closer than I thought, but still: advantage Saint Paul.
I'd like him to fill in a few details (I could guess but why not go straight to the source) and get your take. Minneapolis vs. St. Paul - what do you think? And don't just say "Minneapolis" but give your lists of why and what. It'll be fun people...

1 Comments:
pizza: Savoy Inn (not even a close second, and anyone that says Punch, will get punched; plus the first Punch was in Saint Paul anyways)
sushi: Sakora
bar: Muddy Pig (highly subjective category)
Mexican: Me of course, as far as food it is Boca Chica
stadium/concert venue: Xcel (shouldn't be any argument here)
Irish bar: Dubliner
German restaurant: Glockenspiel
Italian deli: Cossetta's (yes this is an unfair category)
Steak and lobster: Mancini's
Russian: Moscow on the Hill
Airport: Lindberg vs HHH...please.
Best Ice Cream: Grand Ole Creamery
club: take your pick of any in Mpls
downtown: no contest
pool hall: City Billiards
Lake: Calhoun or any of them beat Phalen and Como
German bar: Gasthof
Strip club: take your pick, there aren't any in Saint Paul, unless you could the King of Diamonds in which case we could have an argument
Sex store: Duh
Bridge: Wabasha and Robert have nothing on Hennepin
Coffee shop: could be some argument here; now that Pandora's Cup is gone, I could argue Cosmic Charlie's or Cupernicus in Saint Paul. In fact, yes, I am now moving best coffee shop to the east side of the river.
