This week on the Roundup, we're navigating that tricky time of year in Minneapolis where the weather can't quite make up its mind. We're keeping our layers handy and shouting out our amazing sponsors, mplsvegan.com and mncannabishub.com, for their support. We dive deep into the city's incredible vegan food scene, which is all about delicious food that just happens to be made from plants. We're talking about legendary spots from St. Paul's J. Selby's for a classic diner feel, to the game-changing Herbivorous Butcher in Northeast, and the punk-rock institution that is Hard Times Cafe.

We also explore the ever-growing cannabis scene in the Twin Cities in our Cannabis Corner segment. From the boutique vibe at Wildflower in the North Loop to local favorites like Simply Crafted in Northeast, we cover some of the top-rated spots to check out. And as we head into the weekend, we're feeling that end-of-winter buzz. We're sharing ideas for getting back out there and soaking up the city, whether it's people-watching in Uptown, exploring galleries in the Northeast Arts District, or taking that first spring walk across the iconic Stone Arch Bridge. It's all about rediscovering the city as it starts to thaw.

Is winter finally over in the Twin Cities? This week on the Minneapolis Roundup, we're cautiously optimistic as the March sunshine makes an appearance. We're shaking off the winter chill and diving into the vibrant local scenes that make Minneapolis and St. Paul a fantastic place to be. A big thank you to our sponsors, mplsvegan.com and mncannabishub.com, for keeping us connected to the best plant-based eats and local cannabis spots.

This episode is all about celebrating the local gems. We take a tour of the incredible plant-based food scene, giving shout-outs to legendary spots like J. Selby's, The Herbivorous Butcher, Reverie Cafe, and more. Then, in our Cannabis Corner segment, we highlight some of the top-rated dispensaries and THC beverage spots in the area, from Wildflower North Loop to Green Goods in the suburbs. Finally, we look ahead to the weekend and share some ideas for shaking off that cabin fever, whether it's a walk around Bde Maka Ska, gallery hopping in the Northeast Arts District, or catching a show at First Ave.

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.
