Neighborhood Eats

Eat your way through Minneapolis history. Neighborhood restaurants and markets offer a glimpse into the city's past and future.

For 50 years, Minneapolis was the "Flour Milling Capital of the World." The immigrants who worked in the mills brought old-world recipes for pierogies, kielbasa and sauerbrauten.

New immigrants have infused neighborhoods with flavors from around the world. With the largest Hmong population outside of Laos, you'll find excellent Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine, from storefront take-out to upscale dining. And an influx of Somali and Mexican immigrants have expanded the city's palate.

Open your mind-and your mouth-and experience the city's heritage one delicious bite at a time.
