Minneapolis Roundup - March 11, 2026

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.
