also, if you happen to find yourself in Dinkytown (right bank of UMN), go into Loring Pasta Bar. Two details:
1. Most must see Gents Room in all of MSP.
2. The upper level comprises part of a space that used to be Bob Dylan's apartment.Cannot find the link, but if you go back and watch the Bourdain episode of What to Eat featuring Columbus, you'll see his visit to Piccolo at the end of the same episode.
Also, if it is unseasonably warm head to Brit's Pub on Nicollet Mall. As a pub it is just a pub, but as an establishment with roof top lawn bowling it is awesome.

So thanks for the suggestions everyone. Turns out, I'm working in Mankota Minnesota, about 100 miles south of the twin cities. I hope to get the chance to head back to Minneapolis occasionally, but if anyone has any good Mankota suggestions, I'm all ears!

You mean Mankato? It's a hidden vacation paradise!
Seriously, though, when I worked in MPLS I'd occasionally be sent down to Mankato for projects. It's a small, pleasant university town, but not too much going on. Though there are lakes... lots and lots of lakes.

Lakes and hot springs apparently. Nice people here and not a horrible place to be. Unfortunately, the hotel I'm staying is is pretty horrid. Cramped, no closets, and my kitchen has all of two hot plate burners to cook with.
My wife did bring up the little house on the prairie reference when I told her where I was going.

Doh! That sounds like a bait and switch to me. It would have been nice in the Summer with all those lakes and fresh air, not so nice on the cusp of Winter.
I would order a lot of takeout at Pho Saigon if I were you. :)
Trade one of your good mattresses for some venison steaks and loins, and bring them back home. Someone should have some freezer space up there you can borrow.

I'm thinking of swinging by Pho after work tonight. They asked me if I wanted to stay longer than the 15th and I asked them if they understand the likelihood of my being disemboweled by my sweetie (who I love and adore!) if I stayed any longer.
I would be interesed in relocating up here if given the opportunity.
