This week on the Minneapolis Roundup, we're diving into the exciting things happening across the Twin Cities as we head into spring. The food scene is buzzing with new openings and menus, and we're highlighting some can't-miss plant-based options. The big story is the grand opening of Verdant in the North Loop, an upscale restaurant that's getting creative with local vegetables. We're also talking about the new spring menu at J. Selby's in St. Paul and a must-try Italian deli sub from Herbivorous Butcher. For a complete guide to all the best vegan eats, be sure to check out our sponsor, mplsveganhub.com.

Beyond the plate, we're looking at the innovative business and marketing news making waves in the city. A unique collaboration between artists and ad agencies is turning downtown billboards into public art, creating a more authentic connection with the community. In the tech world, a local startup just got a major funding boost for their all-weather delivery drone project, which could change the game for local delivery. We also touch on the big events you'll want on your calendar, from the St. Patrick's Day parade to a sold-out show at First Avenue and the first-ever Minnesota Green-Thumb Expo.
