It was such a pleasure to visit this city, even in the winter. The people were genuinely friendly, and the city seemed so clean everywhere. I was there for a conference, but I found so many art events going on that I took in some of the local theatres in place of some business networking. It was well worth it. I have been to many Broadway shows, but I can say that the people in Minnesota have a musical ability that rivals the top shows in NYC, and I could say that they surpassed many NYC shows with musical and acting talent. Food was excellent. I was surprized at the diversity of choices of food, too. I decided on Malysaian and Equadorian food. The wait staff was personable and professional. I highly recommend taking in the culture in the "Twin Cities".
