Comments (4) BEST NEIGHBORHOOD - 2010
Northeast Minneapolis
Well, the secret is out. As Uptown hopelessly gentrifies and St. Paul remains a great place to get some sleeping done, Northeast is emerging as the new spot for good beer, good music, good art, and good living. Once a place best known for its townie bars and roughneck atmosphere, the area has undergone a revision that manages to, for the time being, retain its staunchly residential attitude while getting spiked in all the right places with top-flight bars, art galleries, scenic walks, and eateries. The downside? No Eden goes unspoiled. And while it's hard to imagine good ol' Nordeast ripping out Jimmy's and putting in a Victoria's Secret, close your eyes and remember what Lyndale Avenue looked like two years ago. The moral? Get it while the gettin's good.
