Very affordable, yet upscale vision boutique. The store is small, but stylish, with artwork by local artist shown gallery-style. The sales people are not high pressure, and they take several vision plans. Unfortunately, Dr. Daly doesn’t do full-service exams in this location anymore (you’ll have to go to their sister location for that), but this is hands down the most quaint glasses shop I’ve ever been to.

Built into an actual theatre, marquee and all, Theatre Antiques is part of the great quirkiness that can only be found in Uptown. You never know what kind of vintage, stylish, piece of funky history you’ll find. They also offer vintage clothes (including classic gloves, hats, and scarves) as well, if that futuristic 1950’s furniture set is not exactly what will go with your dining room’s motif.

This dentist office is fantastic! I’ve been going there for more than a year, and the staff always does a great job. I’ve had x-rays, cleanings, fillings, and they are always friendly and never hassle you about paying quickly. They offer Zoom! tooth whitening, which I would like to try, but have not had the time to try yet. Dr. Goldstein has a very likeable manner and I would highly recommend this office for your dental needs.

Phoenix Games has an extensive variety of board games mainstream and obscure, miniatures, role-playing game accessories, Magic cards, model kits, and playing areas for enthusiasts. Classic war games and books on strategies, this place is for the true die-hard nerd, although, even though you may not want to admit it, everyone could probably find something for their fancy.

DreamHaven is a great store with an extensive selection of science-fiction, fantasy, and comic books, both used and new. If they don’t have something really obscure, they’ll be happy to order it for you. Occasionally, they will have in-store author signings and actually have their own press to publish books, DreamHaven Press (which publishes Neil Gaiman’s “Angels and Visitations”). They’ve been open since 1977, and it’s easy to see why they’ve been around so long.

A great flower shop in the heart of the city with a large greenhouse full of stems, blooms, and foliage. They can make up a bouquet for an order upon request, or you can walk through the showroom and create your own bouquet (which I always like to do). Then, they will trim them and dress the bouquet appropriately and package it up how you like. A great store with great selection, and great service!

The Wedge is one of the best natural food co-ops I’ve ever seen. They have an excellent selection of organic and earth-friendly products, without compromising flavor. The store will sell groceries to anyone, but since it is a co-operative, people that are members get a good discount on stuff. However, the quality and healthiness of the food and household items, along with the employees’ expertise, is what really keeps people coming back for more than 25 years.

Urbanimal is a great little Uptown pet supply shop with enough character to make it a local fav. They carry a wide selection of pet foods, accessories, etc., not to mention they have resident pets that lounge around the shop and don't mind a little attention while you're shopping! One thing that really sets them apart is their saucy humor in their advertising. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just visit their website.

Patina is a breath of fresh air just outside of downtown Minneapolis. It stands conveniently next to Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream and announces your entrance to Uptown Minneapolis as you drive south on Hennepin Avenue. The store is cluttered with items, but in a quaint little shop kind of way. They carry everything from greeting cards, to gourmet soaps, to jewelry, and kitschy stuff. It's the kind of store that if you wander in off the street, you're probably guaranteed to find something that tickles your fancy.

Sushi Tango is located on the second level of the Calhoun Square in the heart of Uptown Minneapolis. This intersection is the hub of coolness in Minneapolis and that trendiness is reflected in the beautiful design of the restaurant and artwork on the walls. As with most sushi bars, the food is prepared in front of you and it is delicious. I requested an item that wasn't on the menu, yet they were happy to accommodate my request for chicken tempura. Since the restaurant is on the second floor, it has a quiet ambiance that sets it apart from the hustle of Uptown. They also have happy hour every day and the specials make it even better to go here. For example, a Philly roll (smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber) during happy hour is just $4, and you get six pieces. I highly recommend Sushi Tango to anyone who wants great sushi in Minneapolis!!
