Finally, Minneapolis is looking green again! On this episode of the Roundup, we’re talking about that late-May "Minnesota tax"—surviving the frost warnings just to earn those beautiful lakeside sunsets. Whether you're a local or just visiting for the weekend, we dive into the best ways to enjoy the city as it starts to bloom, starting with a massive shoutout to our sponsors at mplsvegan.com and mncannabishub.com.

If you're hungry, we’ve got you covered with the absolute best plant-based spots in the Twin Cities. From the soul-healing comfort food at J. Selby’s in St. Paul to the legendary jerky at the Herbivorous Butcher in Northeast, the vegan scene is hitting a whole new level. We also touch on the chaotic magic of Hard Times Cafe and some solid pizza options for a low-key night in.

We also take a trip to the Cannabis Corner to highlight some top-tier spots like Wildflower and Stigma for those crisp THC drinks. Wrap up your weekend plans with a stroll across the Stone Arch Bridge or a show at First Ave. It’s that perfect time of year where the heavy coats are finally tucked away, and we’re all just out here vibing in the fresh May air.
