Minnesota food lovers have a lot to be thankful for. Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, we have access just about every type of cuisine you can imagine. But sometimes it’s a struggle to decide what to eat every day, especially when great pasta, tacos, sandwiches, and more are out there waiting for you. Luckily, Minnesota is home to an incredible marketplace that has a little something for everyone. You’ll want to give it a go for your next meal.
If you’ve ever driven down Lake Street in Minneapolis, you’ve probably noticed the tall structure that is the Midtown Exchange building.
