I'm planning to spend a weekend in Minneapois with my wife in December. We are coming from Chicago.

Any ideas on what we should do? We are both early 30's.

Something along the lines of shoppings, restarurants, music venues, coffee shops?

Unless you want to see the same stuff that Chicago is regionally famous for (urban scene), I'd recommend finding what the locals do: like ice skating outside on Lake of the Isles or Rice Park in downtown St. Paul, The Holidazzle Parade in downtown Minneapolis, or even go to the Mall of America. Otherwise you may just be doing what you could otherwise do in Chicago, or [insert large city here].

Yeah, I do want to do what anyone does in any large city.

I've lived more than 10years in Chicago and moved to the suburbs in the summer, so I'd like to do the same thing in Chicago but with new scenery.

Any suggestions?

You could see the Terra Cotta Warriors at the Minneapolis Institute or Arts.

Famous Dave's is a Minnesota BBQ chain that has blue's at its Uptown location. I'm don't know much about the music scene otherwise but I'm sure there's someone that can point you in the right direction.
