North Loop

North Loop

Formerly known as the Warehouse District, the North Loop is a rapidly gentrifying expanse of old warehouses and industrial buildings northwest of downtown Minneapolis. Avoid the area around Target Field (where MLB’s Minnesota Twins play) on game days, when nearby streets and establishments come alive with fans. Otherwise, take a ride on the Cedar Lake Trail, a sub-grade bike highway similar to the Midtown Greenway, spend an hour strolling the gritty (but safe) surface streets, and then enjoy a pint at lively Fulton Brewing Company.
