Common Good Books
Garrison Keillor owns this skylit, basement bookstore, tucked under a coffee shop. It stacks shelves of fiction and nature books by Midwest authors – many of whom may be in the upstairs cafe tapping away at their laptops (the list by the front door shows all the novels written by patrons at the tables).

International Marketplace
The nation's largest enclave of Hmong immigrants live in the Twin Cities, and this market delivers their favorite Vietnamese, Lao and Thai dishes at its humble food court. Find the West Building and head to the back where vendors ladle hot-spiced papaya salad, beef ribs, sticky rice and curry noodle soup. Then stroll the market, where you can fix your dentures or buy a cockatoo or brass gong.
