Meet Minneapolis

📽 : The Minneapolis Convention Center is the perfect venue to host your meeting, convention, tradeshow or sporting event. It has the space to bring people together and the award-winning staff to partner with you on an incredible event. Plus, Minneapolis is known for our walkable downtown, our abundant lakes and parks alongside our urban surroundings, and our love of all things Prince. We have 9.5 miles of climate-controlled skyways (including the convention center) and, here, everything is homegrown – our music, our food and our festivals. If you'd like to learn more, let us know. We can't wait to welcome you, your clients and your guests to Minneapolis! https://bit.ly/3zXhYOT #Minneapolis #meetingsandevents #meetingplanners #sports #sportingevents #tradeshow

"We're witnessing a Native awakening on a national scale ... Amid this, Minneapolis has emerged as an epicentre for Indigenous creativity, from art to food to music and more." https://bit.ly/48bNV2h Our thanks to the BBC for sharing an in-depth look at Minneapolis from its Dakota history to the American Indian Movement (AIM) to our growing and thriving Indigenous community. Journalist Alicia Erickson talked with Shelley Buck (Pte Wicota), Bdewakantunwan Dakota and president of Owámniyomni Okhódayapi and Kate Nelson, a local writer of Tlingit origin (and whose quote from above is included in the story). The story also includes: --Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI) --All My Relations (art gallery) --Birchbark Books --Owamni by the Sioux Chef --The North American Traditional Indigenous --Food Systems (NĀTIFS) --Owámniyomni Okhódayapi --Minnesota Humanities Center Read more here: https://bit.ly/48bNV2h #Minneapolis #NativeLand #Indigenous #AmericanIndian #NativeAmerican #travel

The headline says it all: "Minneapolis hotel rebound is one of the best in the nation." https://bit.ly/3BGRgu6 "By the numbers: Only [two other cities in the U.S.] had better year-over-year gain in revenue per available room (RevPAR) in both July and August, according to CoStar. Downtown Minneapolis hotels saw RevPAR jump nearly 22% in those two months. The $131 million they collected this summer is 8% more than the summer of 2019, according to Meet Minneapolis." Our perspective: The work of Meet Minneapolis and our many partner organizations to bring meetings, conventions, sporting events, concerts, theater productions, and more to our city means even additional jobs for local workers and more incremental tax revenue for the city which helps all residents.

🎉Minneapolis is celebrating two of our restaurants making this year's "The "Restaurant List" from The New York Times! 👏 https://bit.ly/4egtQKF Oro by Nixta (https://bit.ly/3zvkfk0) - "Imagine a taqueria with a tasting-menu restaurant’s ambitions, and none of its pretensions." Vinai (https://bit.ly/3XBnrCJ) - "The chef’s personal take on [Hmong food] is arresting, packed with chile and citrus, often streaked with wood smoke, and always suffused with back story." These are merely two examples, among many, of our culinary scene which is filled with world-class restaurants and chefs. We'd even go as far as to say it is the underrated surprise your taste buds have been seeking. #Minneapolis #TopRestaurants #TopChef #Culinary #FoodTourism
