We always say St. Paul is a small town in a big city. Knowing your neighbors and having lots of great independent places to eat, drink and shop--many you can walk to--are some of the best parts of being in the Highland Park/West 7th neighborhood. If you're new in town, we've got some recommendations that will make you love St. Paul from the start. Here are some of our team's favorite hotspots:
Favorite pizza place: Punch Pizza on Cleveland or Cossetta's on West 7th
Best place to run for lunch: Rusty Taco or Shamrock's
Best seafood: Coastal Sea Foods on Grand and Snelling
Best place to grab an appetizer to bring to a party: St. Paul Cheese Shop (try the goat cheese and chutney--yum!)
Favorite date night: A movie at the Riverview Theater right across the Ford Bridge--Best popcorn EVER and $3 movies
Favorite place to get office treats: Trader Joe's on Randolph and Lexington
Best place to buy a gift: Patina on Ford Parkway
Best walk or bikeride: Along the Missippi River Boulevard
Some say St. Paul is a hard community to break into. If you're new to town, give us a call. We'll welcome you as a new neighbor and --we hope--a patient. But we'll also help you figure out how to navigate the town.
