Diverse-owned businesses across the Twin Cities

Enhanced members across the metro. Every category has its own section further down.

Restaurants & Food in the Twin Cities

The Twin Cities eat along a set of long avenues rather than in one downtown: Eat Street on Nicollet, Lake Street through Midtown, University Avenue between the two downtowns, and Selby and Grand in Saint Paul. East African, Hmong, Jamaican, Thai and Indigenous kitchens all sit within a short drive of each other, and the metro has one of the country's largest Somali and Hmong communities to go with that. Winter hours are shorter than summer ones almost everywhere, so check before you set out.

Events & Weddings in the Twin Cities

Caterers, planners and venues working Twin Cities weddings, corporate meetings and conferences. This is the deepest category in the metro, because Meet Minneapolis publishes a supplier guide and the convention business supports a real bench of independent firms. Dates from June to October book many months out. Ask early whether a caterer staffs the room or drops off.

Arts & Entertainment in the Twin Cities

Galleries, theaters, tour operators and entertainment companies across the Twin Cities, a metro with more theater seats per head than anywhere outside New York. Opening hours at the smaller spaces are genuinely limited, so check before making the trip. Many run classes and events alongside the main program.

Community & Nonprofit in the Twin Cities

Nonprofits and community organizations based in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, covering youth programming, food access, cultural work and business support. What each one does varies more than the category name suggests, so read the organization's own description before assuming it covers your situation.
