Skip the ill-named Chicago Mix and eat like a local. Mix Flavo-Crunch with cheese popcorn for a real treat that includes buttery caramel, almonds, pecans, and cashews -- that's the "Minneapolis Mix."
Pay-at-a-machine-just-before-you-go parking ramps don't work very well at the theater where everyone leaves at once. Use a credit card at the exit -- it still will take a while to get out of here.
Almond Croissants! After years of cajoling, they finally started making more each day. I have never eaten anything like this croissant, anywhere. Great bread here and a very good bakery-style banh mi.
Don't pass up the Lyndale Park Gardens: rose, Japanese rock, and a Bird sanctuary nature trail that will take you back to the Lake Harriet Bandshell. Ride the trolley!
