Best Walkie Shops In Minneapolis Near Me

4worldlovers:
Nicollet (formerly known as Nicollet Mall) has long been downtown’s core shopping and entertainment artery. Its comprehensive remodel has enhanced the experience for visitors, folks who work downtown, and the area’s residential population. With motor vehicles restricted to buses and taxis, this mile-long, go-to pedestrian oasis is lined by bar and restaurant sidewalk seating, art, bountiful greenery, and many shopping options. Before marching down this strip of leisure and people watching, stop by the Meet Minneapolis Visitor Center, located right on the corner of 5th Street and Nicollet. Here you can get all your Minneapolis questions answered by staff, including directions and suggestions about things to do in the area.


It’s difficult to miss the numerous skyways crossing Nicollet. The Minneapolis Skyway System is the largest, contiguous system of enclosed, second level bridges in the world, composed of roughly 9.5 miles of pathways connecting 80 city blocks. This grim-weather retreat contains multiple places to eat, shop, and drink as well as access to Orchestra Hall, Target Center, Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, and more.

On Nicollet, there are a number of skyway access points, including the cavernous Crystal Court in the IDS (between 7th and 8th Street)—the tallest building in downtown—and the flagship Target store on Nicollet and 9th Street. Along Nicollet, eating options on the skyway level (or accessible by skyway) include chains like Freshii, Naf Naf Grille, Chipotle, Dairy Queen, Leann Chin, and Starbucks. For locally owned options, check out The Brothers Deli and Caribou Coffee.

If you're looking for something cozy and warm, and you don't really want to leave the skyway, then look no further than Come Pho Soup. This French Vietnamiese fusion restaurant offers steaming bowls of pho (including build your own!) and filling Banh Mi sandwiches.

Some of the best donuts in the city are also located within the skyway system. Cardigan donuts can be find in both the IDS tower and City Center. Every week they come up with a unique donut flavor, they also have coffee, tea, yogurt bowls and ice cream.

Minneapolis has a particular affinity for outdoor dining. At ground level, Nicollet has a pleasing series of sidewalk patios that invite long, lazy meals, drinks, and people watching without having to shout over cars, trucks, and motorcycles roaring by.

Brit’s Pub has evolved into a kind of English Pub attraction as much as it is a place to get a bite and a pint. Soccer and rugby games bring in a specialized audience of passionate sports fans and the massive rooftop English Garden Park has a 10,000 square foot lawn bowling green, as well as offering a pleasant place to catch some sun.

We won’t spoil the surprise, but the bathrooms here are memorable. Across the street is another pub style restaurant The Local.
