Hi,

I'll be in Minneapolis (Eden Prairie) for 2 weeks starting September, 24
Coming from France to a technical training (I'm FSE) for a new job I started 3 months ago.
I'm looking for any recommandation , especially for the weekend I'll spend there.

I would have propose a GTG but I'll certainly travel only with a daily beater as my job is not safe for watches and I don't really want to carry them only to leave them in a room's safe for 2 weeks. (it would be like going alone to a swinger party, right?)

Thanks in advance for your advices

Yves

 

Paisley Park if you’re a Prince fan. That’s about all I got.

Give my friend Paul who lives in the Twin Cities area a follow on Instagram. He is a good dude and is always posting food and drink recommendations in the twin cities.

That would be great, Redbar meetings have reached Paris, I just didin't participate yet.
If alcohol is involved it's even better, my english isn't great but always improves after few glasses, I can even speak languages I didn't know before
Just keep me updated if anything happens during my stay.

 

Drop me a DM. We will probably have as Meet Up the end of September.

Here is my list of recommendations:
