Welcome to the mid-May edition of the Minneapolis Roundup, where we’re navigating that unique Twin Cities transition from winter layers to summer vibes. We dive deep into the local plant-based food scene, highlighting the comforting burgers at J. Selby’s and the legendary deli selections at the Herbivorous Butcher. Whether you’re looking for a late-night coffee at Hard Times or a holistic stop at The Herbalist, there’s no shortage of community-driven spots to explore this week.

We also take a tour of the local cannabis landscape, from the clean aesthetics of Wildflower in the North Loop to the neighborhood feel of Simply Crafted in Northeast. As we look ahead to the weekend, we talk about shedding our winter skin by hitting the Greenway on bikes or catching the sunset at the Stone Arch Bridge. From live music at First Ave to the creative energy of the Northeast Arts District, we’re covering the best ways to soak up the city as it finally wakes up.
